Support shelter dogs while visiting Szputnyik shop!

A Szputnyikosok elfogult és mániákus állatbarátok, többünk négylábú családtagokkal él együtt, ezért egy percig sem volt meglepő döntés, hogy egy menhelyet is szeretnénk segíteni.

In Szputnyik we are totally addicted to animals and some of us already have a four-feet family member so our decision to support a shelter was not that surprising.

Our choice is the Szent Ferenc Animal Home, so beside the Hungarian Ornithology Association and the Down Foundation now we support 3 movement!

Henriett Merz founded the animal shelter and she wanted to call this place to an animal home instead of shelter, because the dogs are free to play and run around the site, not crouching in small kennels to rebuild their faith in the world.
Officially the home works since 1995 what is managed by Merza's two daugthers, Heni and Rita.

In 2009, there was an opportunity to open the Greyhound Rescue in the animal home because Merza was in love with this special dogs and her daughters inherited this passion and respect.
The greyhounds usually have a terrible fate beside the hunters and on tracks but in Ócsa at the home, every volunteers trying to make them forget the past and give them love and new hope.

Many of dogs who are damaged physically and spiritually get into the home from the side of the road, or even from Spain. Their food, health care costs a lot, and they are trying to manage this little place only from donations.

But the volunteers work insistently and with a true fate that every effort worth it and they can find a new home to 150-200 dogs a year.

Their work at Szent Ferenc Animal home is exemplary and followed! Help to the Animal Home and to the Greyhound Rescue!
