Shelter “Alex” was opened in 2003 during the time when Subotica legally permitted euthanasia of dogs and on Fridays people could bring their dogs to be euthanized for free. This is the first no-kill shelter in Serbia. Currently there are more than 500 dogs. Around 70% of the dogs are old (some have been in the shelter since 2003/2004). The shelter is funded exclusively by donations, which are not regular or reliable. The shelter requires building materials, cleaning supplies, food (granules and canned food, salami, bread, etc), blankets, fleas/ticks products and money to cover the vet costs, bills, etc.
