Anniversary in the Fulda-Hünfeld animal shelter: Celebrate 50 years full of animals!
Fulda, Deutschland - A big reason for joy for animal lovers in the region: the Fulda-Hünfeld celebrates its 50th anniversary this year! The association was launched in 1974 by the first district deputy Heinrich Beck and committed animal welfare associations from fulda and Hünfeld. The construction of the animal shelter started in 1975 and ended in 1979. Since then, the shelter has developed dynamically. The area has been expanded again and again - be it to create exhaust meadows for dogs or to set up their own cat wing.
The year 1998 was particularly formative when the old shelter was torn down and a new building was tackled. As a result, those responsible did not remain inactive: a small animal house, a training meadow and improved dog kennels were added. All extensions in common is the tireless commitment of the team, which consists of employees and numerous volunteers. At the top is the CEO Eva Niggemann education. It is admirable how much passion flows into the care and care of the animals.a complete success between passion and challenges
In autumn 2024, the shelter found a critical situation: overcrowding was the order of the day. This was done in a context of rising costs for staff as well as veterinarian and maintenance. Despite growing consciousness for animal welfare, there are still rash cuffs that tighten the situation. However, the willingness to donate and the support of the municipalities are gratifying, and the shelter remains dependent on the help of love for animals.
The planned summer festival on June 15, 2025 from 12 noon to 5 p.m. becomes a highlight of the anniversary year. The number of visitors is certain, because a variety of program items are offered. In addition to a performance by the singer Kathi Heumüller, the animals can present themselves in a special setting, and the saving four -legged friends of the Vogelsberg rescue dog squadron will demonstrate their skills. A flea market, information and sales stands and a raffle round off the offer. Important to mention: There will be no mediation of animals on this day - everything serves to help the animals.
