Proyecto voluntariado protectora animales
Our association was established in 2005 in order to help the stray animals for their food and medical needs. We work in the collaboration with the Municipality of Sinop to help the ones which are sick, wounded, young and old. We work on the ones which are in the shelter as well as the ones which are living outside without an owner.
Our members work in the shelter and help the staff there for their food and show affection. In the shelter there are about 350 dogs and 20 cats.
The shelter staff provides food from the leftovers from the messhalls of the university, the military installations and the schools. However during the national and religious holidays, the food doesn’t come. Therefore our association provides food for the shelter. We always provide food for the cats and the young dogs. We also trim the long-haired dogs’ hair in the summer time.
We take photos of the animals to show them in our Facebook page and webpage and make them adopted by the people. Through our Facebook page, we also post the photos and the information of the animals which are found in the streets by the people to make calls for the people to adopt them.
In 2014 we started «the Regional Sterilization» project. Within this project, we sterilize the stray animals which are living in the other towns and the villages. Also we sterilize the animals whose owners are economically disadvantaged. We also run to the rescue operations when we have a call. We work not only for the cats and dogs but also the wild animals and the farm animals which are in need of help. In order to do that we collaborate with the Directorate of Conservation and National Parks to save the wounded and sick animals in the wild and the farm animals which are abandoned.
Our association organizes sales, tea parties, brunches and tours for fund raising. We start awareness campaigns such as fund raising for the «Regional Sterilization Project», «Charity Event for Collecting Cat and Dog Food» for the welfare of the animals. In order to do that we design posters and hang them in several locations in the town.
We are the only animal welfare organisation in Turkey which has been accredited to work on EVS. We coordinate, host and send within the EVS program.
Tareas voluntariado protectora animales
The tasks of the volunteers: Working in the shelter of stray cats and dogs in Sinop and assisting the vet and the staff with their work such as treatment,
surgery, check-ups, keeping the record of the stages of the illnesses and feeding. The main challenge in the shelter is to fight against Distemper, Panleukopenia and Parvoviral Enteritis.

Organising adopting, fund raising and food collecting campaigns, going to rescue operations, city tours to feed the stray animals are the tasks of the volunteer outside the animal shelter. The day starts at 8:30 and ends at 15:30 in the shelter. Saturdays and Sundays are off.
In the afternoon, the volunteer may work in a clinic where there is an X-Ray and the devices for tests in order to have more experience on diagnosis and
treatment. Also the volunteer will be invited to watch some important surgeries of professors in university in Samsun.
Some weeks the volunteer will be able to practice in the wild life conservatory center to have some competences on wild animals such as bear, wolf, boar, wild horse, jackal, deer, fox, eagle, falcon, owl, bat, migrating birds, etc. which are sick, orphan or weak, unable to live without help.
* The volunteer can receive an emergency call anytime of the day and run to the patient.
The volunteer will organise his/her cultural evening during the activity more than one time in one year. In the cultural evening, the volunteer will introduce the food, drinks, music, dance, a bit of history, geography, habbits, traditions, etc. of his/her region to the audience we will invite.
What will they learn?: +
Since the volunteer is a vet, he/she will get more experienced on surgery, diagnosis and treatment as well as taking care of the orphan babies. The volunteer will learn how to prepare the patient for operation, how to do the operations and things to do in post-op care of all animals: cats and dogs (mainly), wild animals (mentioned above – some weeks) and farm animals (visit to the farms with the vet).
The volunteer will learn how to read the X-Ray and deduct over blood and urine test results and diagnose in the clinic.

The volunteer will share a flat with the other volunteers but have his/her own room. There will be a free transportation to the animal shelter and wild life conservatory center and back home. They will get 1095 euros pocket money + 1344 euros for food. So in total the volunteer will get 2439 euros for 12 months.
He/She will be reimbursed for their flight up to the maximum amount according to the distance of their home country in the Erasmus+ Program guide. The volunteer will not pay for their accommodation and wifi but electricity, water and gas will be shared with the other volunteers in the flat. We recommend to use them economically.
