Timur's Ark - Help for street animals in Turkey

Many thanks for your support, which meant we were able to complete the project successfully.
project summaryIn Turkey, there are an incredible number of street animals, some of which live in catastrophic conditions. With a donation you help Timur Temperli to alleviate the misery, enable castration measures and the construction of a sanctuary.

Background

Puppies are in hot demand, but older dogs unfortunately have a hard time finding new homes, we have been taking care of mainly older, abused and disabled dogs for 35 years. We give them a quiet and safe home for their twilight years.
With my early retirement four years ago, I expanded this "calling" and made it my main occupation. In the last four years we have built up a farm in the Vosges and have also taken in and cared for younger animals and additionally cats or donkeys and horses. Unfortunately we cannot continue the project in France and I moved to Turkey with our ten dogs and two cats. My life partner, who lives in Switzerland, is from Turkey and that is how the connection came about.
After our arrival, we became even more aware of the incredible number of street animals, which are often in extremely poor condition and have to fight for bare survival. From the side of the authorities little is done here to improve the situation.
After we had already moved into a farm, we had to leave it again. Contrary to the guarantees of the broker, the planned conversions for the animals were not approved. Now we have found a new farm with a large area in the Kusadasi area, south of Izmir. The landlord is also a big animal lover and supports our project.
This is a long-term project and our mission in life!

Idea

With so much animal suffering, we have to pitch in, we want to help the animals! Here the animals have no voice!
Our farm should become a rescue station and a mercy farm, we want to take care of as many animals as possible and especially care for sick and injured animals. Depending on their condition and possibilities, the animals stay with us, we find them a new home or take care of them so that they can survive.
Meanwhile we already have 22 dogs and we are absolutely at the limit of our current possibilities, therefore we want to expand the infrastructure and start at the base of the problem. Because we will not leave any almost starving dog mothers with their puppies to their suffering in the future. Therefore, we want to carry out castration measures in cooperation with the authorities and offer the animals a place to recover from the procedure. In addition, we also want to carry out vaccinations.

Implementation

We are building the infrastructure on our farm so that we can properly care for the animals and provide a comfortable home for some of them. It needs boxes, free-range enclosures, quarantine rooms and a food supply. In addition, we need facilities to perform minor medical procedures. We are already using all our private means and now need external support to expand the help. For us this is a life task!
In the meantime, we have also established good relationships with veterinary clinics and people, with good contacts in the authorities, in order to carry out the neutering campaigns in a species-appropriate and highly professional way. In addition, we are building new cooperation with other committed people, we hope that we can find one or two more comrades-in-arms in the future.
The donations will be used for the development of the infrastructure and the care of the animals. Loads of thanks for the donations and support so that we can help the animals. We are also happy about supporters who would like to visit us for a few days.
