A Glimpse into the World of Pawpers in the Ruff, Macedonia
Ivana Miseva, an integral part of the dedicated rescue team at Pawpers in the Ruff in Macedonia, recently shared a powerful video that offers us a window into their world.
It’s a world where many of their rescues take place—the notorious dump.
As you watch the video, we ask you to pause and envision the heart-wrenching scenes that Ivana and her team encounter on a daily basis: dozens of dogs, some starving, others in dire conditions, and many who’ve never known the touch of a caring hand.
Ivana and the Pawpers in the Ruff team face difficult decisions each day, all while striving to provide care for as many dogs as possible with limited resources. Their unwavering passion for these animals fuels their determination to save lives, even as they navigate the demands of permanent jobs and family responsibilities.
With over 150 dogs in their care, all rescued from dire conditions, their dedication knows no bounds. Their selfless commitment often comes with significant challenges and sacrifices.
It is our collective responsibility to ensure that incredible women like Ivana receive the acknowledgment, respect, and the vital resources they need to continue their life-saving work. Their dedication is a testament to the power of compassion.
We invite you to invest just two minutes of your time to listen to Ivana’s powerful message in the video she has shared. It’s a message that underscores the importance of supporting those who selflessly dedicate themselves to the welfare of animals in need.
