Bulgarian Society for Animal Protection and Preservation
Hello!Have you checked out the forum lately? Loads of new articles have been added as well as details of some new properties and the odd rental property. Got a question about buying Bulgaria then check us out.
You can advertise your property for rent in Bulgaria for just £10 for a full year. From this £5.00 will be donated to the Bulgarian Society for Animal Protection and Preservation.
The Bulgarian Society for Animal Protection and Preservation collects stray dogs (and cats), treats any injuries, castrates animals and then tries to find them suitable homes. The charity was founded 8 years ago by Dr Stoyanov an Associate Professor and a vet of some 30 years based in Sofia, who still runs it and gives his vet care to all animals in the shelters free of charge, as he does for anyone unable to pay. He has so far funded all the work from his own pocket but now the charity aims to expand and take on a much greater workload, plus the charity aiming to aquire and equipe a mobile clinic to visit all areas in need in Bulgaria, treating any animals as necessary, carrying out a neutering, identification and vaccination programme and educating the local children, adults and some of the local vets in todays methods of animal treatment and welfare.
Further down the line it is hoped to introduce a 24 hour emergency telephone helpline, plus various other services, such as patrols to collect the strays, assessors to visit prospective adopters etc. For further details please visit the forum at

There are a number of other ways you can help such as sponsoring this blog with a logo and link on the right, maybe 'adopting' a dog that cannot be rehomed, just raising general awareness.
There is a hot air balloon event and micro liting being organised in Bulgaria for the Macmillian Cancer Charity but they have kindly agreed to extend the event to cover the BSAPP as well. The event is to be held in June with 30% of the costs going to the charity (either MacMillians or BSAPP). If you are interested let me know as places will be limited.
The main BSAPP website is http://www.bsapp.hit.bg and is being updated with English content over the next few weeks so please keep an eye on that.
