Earlier this year, I shared the story of Sasha's Shelter, where more than 700 dogs faced an uncertain future after the Serbian government ordered the shelter to close. Without somewhere else to go, many of those dogs would have ended up in kill shelters. Harmony Fund stepped in to help make an impossible relocation possible. It was one of many examples of why I've come to admire the work they do. Yesterday, I received the following email from Laura at Harmony Fund. She gave me permission to share it, along with the photos, because it shines a light on the people who quietly dedicate their lives to saving animals the rest of the world often forgets. For 30 years, Harmony Fund has stood beside these rescuers, supporting the underdogs in some of the most difficult places on Earth. I'd like you to meet Milena. At 77 years old, she is still saying "yes" to animals that have nowhere else to turn. This is her story, in her own words. Milena's First-Hand Account of Her Surprise Rescue Last Week BOSNIA: July 7 Today was one of the hardest days of my life. A van stopped in front of my sanctuary. The driver called my name, and I recognized him immediately. He is one of the dog catchers. I didn't ask a single question because I was afraid of the answer. He quietly said, "I brought you a mother and her seven puppies. I have nowhere else to take them." My heart sank. A cold wave ran through my body. Inside, I whispered to myself, "I have nowhere to take them either." Then he opened the back doors of the van. I will never forget what I saw. The van was completely full: tiny puppies, older puppies, frightened dogs of every size, all packed tightly together. Their eyes were filled with fear, confusion, and hopelessness. The smallest babies were desperately trying to nurse from their mother's empty breasts. She had nothing left to give them except her love. I felt my legs giving way. I couldn't breathe. The driver looked at me and asked, "Will you take them?" My mind was racing. Where will they sleep? How will I feed them? I am alone. I already have eleven new puppies. I have no money. I have no space. I am exhausted.
