TANZIE PROJECT INC

First, we are raising awareness for the stray dog situation in Bosnia through successful rescue and rehabilitation efforts. This starts with supporting local rescue partners in their efforts to take these dogs off the streets and them proper vaccines and vet treatment. Once healthy enough to be in a shelter, we work with other nonprofits and rescue groups across Europe and the USA to find them loving homes. Our aim is to rescue and rehome as many of Bosnia's forgotten pets as possible, and create the start of a cultural shift.

Our strategies first start with ensuring our rescue partners have the resources needed to care for these pets. To find them the perfect home, we partner with various animal welfare organizations and shelters in Europe in the USA to find families looking to add a new member to their family. We do not want to add to the problem of homeless pets by placing them in shelters elsewhere, but to find families before their arrival so they go to a home right away.

For animal rescue efforts, we have several rescue partners in Bosnia working directly with these animals and keeping them in their own private shelters. Additionally, have a large network of supporters and volunteers in the USA who keep us connected to various rescue organizations and shelters. For animal welfare efforts, we utilize various social media platforms to reach new donors to aid in various veterinary expenses, food requirements, and shelter repairs.

Since the first Bosnian rescue, Tanzie, was brought to the USA in 2015, our organization has supported the rescuing and rehoming of 490 of Bosnia's forgotten pets. We've funded emergency, surgical, and non-surgical vet care. We've also supplied more than 200 dogs in Bosnia's private shelters with $7K in dog food. Our vision forward is to continue to gain financial support for animal welfare and rescue initiatives, focusing on improved local shelter facilities, and increased rehoming.
