We are collecting gifts for dogs and cats throughout November. First of all, we need pet food, especially specialised pet food. However, you can also bring blankets, pillowcases and towels.
Note! The shelter does not accept duvets, pillows, mattresses, sponges, carpets, rugs, sleeping bags or clothing. They absorb moisture and are therefore unsuitable for kennel bedding, and if chewed up, can be dangerous for animals.
Marked gift boxes are placed in more than 30 locations of the University of Lodz:
- at all the faculties of the University of Lodz,
- at the University of Lodz Library,
- at the University of Lodz dormitories
- and in the Rector's Office building.
As every year, also the University of Lodz Kindergarten, the Righteous Among the Nations State Secondary School of the University of Lodz and the British International School of the University of Lodz (BISUL) are joining the campaign.
University of Lodz has been supporting homeless animals for years!
The Psia Kość! campaign at the University of Lodz is an annual donation collection for the Animal Shelter in Lodz that is organised in November. University of Lodz, as a socially responsible university, has been supporting four-legged residents of the shelter for many years. As part of its twelve editions, we have collected about 6 tons of food, as well as blankets, medicines, toys and accessories needed for dogs and cats, and we have donated them to the shelter.
Additionally, in June 2019, a special edition of the campaign was held. It was aimed at educating and raising awareness of the adoption of homeless animals, dispelling myths about adoption and presenting various forms of assistance. We organised a meeting with representatives of the Animal Shelter in Lodz, the Załoga Bulldoga and the Kocia Mama Foundations, during which we talked about the situation of animals in shelters and about adoption. Our student, who specialises in dog therapy, talked about the influence of dogs on reducing stress in people. The Lodz University of Technology joined our campaign in 2020 and collected almost 100 kg of pet food.
We are very happy that this initiative is developing.
Join the Psia Kość! campaign and help animals in need!
