Thank you SO MUCH!! Our first fundraiser made 60% of the target and work began straight away on the first big job, the fencing 🙏🏼 Since then we have completed many more important tasks and if you follow us on instagram we share all new achievements as soon as they are completed. What a Journey so far! and there is absolutely no way we would have acheived even a quarter of the work we have done without your support through this page. THANK YOU!

Alongside the build we have also been regularly rescuing and neutering locally. So you could say we have a lot of helpers! Our dogs are healthy, happy and we have a great vet who ensures that all our new intakes are in good shape.

Our Story

In 2019 we met Jimi outside a supermarket in Bar, Montenegro. He looked very sick and was wandering around parked cars as if asking for someone to help him. So we did. It took a couple of days waiting around the entrance to the Supermarket speaking with people but eventually, we found someone prepared to help us locate a vet and a local charity to help. That ‘someone’ was Dusko, Ivana and their family. Together with the help of a local charity ‘Stray Aid Montenegro’ we saved Jimi’s life and gave him a happy home. His health outcome was uncertain for a while due to a bad case of heartworm. This is common for street dogs in Montenegro and Serbia but he pulled through. Jimi went to live with Dusko & Ivana in Serbia.

Jimi brought us all together and since then we became firm friends. We shared the same values and a dream of one day setting up a sanctuary. That dream is somehow now a reality and with your help, we are rescuing more abandoned animals like Jimi. We are helping them to fulfil their dreams of regular food, safety, warmth, love and hopefully a forever happy home.

Welcome to Whispaws and Thank you! with love, Emma and all of the Whispaws team.

Creating Whispaws Animal Sanctuary

We are extremely lucky to have secured a permanent home for our sanctuary and it belongs to us! This means no monthly rental costs and no fear of being required to move premises. Therefore all facilities will be forever for the use of Whispaws and the abandoned animals of Serbia.

Our mission is to continue building facilities and take care of all the animals that need us. Here are the most urgent tasks on our to-do list. You will see that some have been achieved already.

There is so much yet to do but in just two years we have already transformed the place! and this is on top of continuous rescuing and neutering.

With YOUR SUPPORT through JustGiving, this is what we have achieved so far!

With YOUR SUPPORT through JustGiving this is what we are doing right now!

Here are our plans for the future and we're so glad you're with us for this journey!
