“On May 5, 2024, our Temporary Foster Care Center with Subsequent Placement in the family “My Living Dogs” turned 6 years old!

6 years ago, a person, a horse and a terminally ill old dog founded and began construction of a horse-dog-cat shelter and called this place “Friends Point”!

They dreamed that in their endeavor they would find many like-minded people and everyone who was not indifferent would join their ranks. But people left, new ones came, and so on in a circle.

In the photo – May 5th, 2018. This is the first day we arrived at the territory we rent.

Devastation… There is nothing from the word “absolutely”.

Yes, in 6 years we have turned this territory into a small “Paradise for Dogs”, but only I know the price of this. They did everything at the same time: roofing, enclosures, sterilization, treatment, vaccinations, treatment for parasites, and looking for families to adopt the animals…

In just 6 years, this place has welcomed 684 animals into families!

We have built a lot in 6 years. And they would have done much more if not for the war…

Three years ago, the leader and founder of the center, the dog Malysh, left us. I won’t write what a test it was for the Center, because I broke down. I want to thank all the volunteers who were with me during those terrible days and supported me.

Malysh did a lot for the Center; he was the engine of development. Everything was built around him.

I made promises to him when he left and I keep them. We have taken a huge step in the development of this Center and are moving towards our goal by leaps and bounds. This is thanks to Malysh, my Friend and Founder. The name of the Moscow watchdog, a dog named “Malysh”, will be written down in history – I promise you that!

In the meantime, look at the photo from five years ago.

I also want to thank one wonderful person who is next to me. Modest, quiet, but always near. This is my support, my shoulder. The shelter owes a lot to this man for his life and prosperity. Monthly work, titanic efforts and desire to help are worthy of admiration and gratitude!

Thank you for all the rescued tailed and wet-nosed animals!”

Sincerely, Chairman of the Board of the “Berserk” Animal Rescue Federation Lyudmila Melnikova
