In 2007, the members of our newly established organization were initially taking care of homeless pets at their own homes. About 10-20 volunteers were taking care of several (sometimes even more than a dozen) pets at a time. The majority of the pets were successfully adopted, though in some cases our team members and the pets developed such a close mutual bond that the orphans stayed with the volunteers for good. Currently, we have limited possibilities of sheltering pets at home, though we always try to find a way to help in any particularly difficult situation.

Our volunteers usually take care at home of:

• the pets that need to be socialized (usually, stray kittens and puppies);
• pets with newborn kittens/puppies;
• the pets that cannot be kept at the shelter due to the lack of facilities (e.g., large dogs);
• the injured and sick pets in need of isolation and intensive medical treatment.

If you wish to assist in animal rescue by helping at the shelter or by taking temporary care of pets, you are very welcome to contact us on nariai@lese.lt.
