Meet Ares, a distinguished gentelman and affectionate pet who inspired this initiative. In Požarevac, Serbia, where I live, we face a significant issue with stray dogs, particularly around abandoned warehouses and military sites where these dogs seek refuge.
Walking my own dog, even though he is tough boy, is challenging due to aggressive stray dogs. This problem impacts many dog owners who fear their pets may be attacked. Meanwhile, as a dog lover, I am deeply concerned about the stray dogs suffering without food, clean water, or proper shelter.

Our goal is to empower dog lovers and pet owners to walk their pets safely, without the fear of stray dog attacks. We aim to achieve this by encouraging reports on stray dog sightings, pack sizes, and aggression levels, helping pet owners avoid dangerous areas.
The ultimate goal is to establish a well-organized shelter for stray dogs, where they will receive care and eventually find a loving home. We plan to collaborate with veterinarians and veterinary students from local universities to run these shelters and rehabilitate stray dogs.
Unfortunately, local government efforts have been insufficient, as they mainly focus on vaccinating and sterilizing dogs before releasing them back onto the streets. Therefore, we need community support in both reporting stray dog sightings and funding to achieve our ultimate goal.
Thank you for joining us in making the world a better place for our loyal companions.
