Psia Kość! – the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ November Donation Collection for Homeless Animals

It’s the 12th edition of our university’s campaign "Psia Kość!" as part of which we have been supporting four-legged residents of the Animal Shelter in ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ. Throughout November we are collecting gifts for the animals. What do we need? First of all, pet food, especially specialised pet food, as well as blankets, pillowcases and towels.

Marked gift boxes will be placed in more than 30 locations of the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ: 

  • at all the faculties of the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ,   
  • in the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ Library, 
  • at the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ dormitories   
  • and in the Rector's Office building.   

As every year, also  as well as  are joining the campaign. 

What animals need most is good pet food, especially specialised pet food. Why? This is what Marta OlesiÅ„ska, director of the Animal Shelter in ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ, who visited the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ together with the dog called Maczeta, talked about last year:

Good quality maintenance pet food, i.e. with high content of meat is the best gift for the four-legged residents of the shelter (of course apart from a new, responsible home). The better the quality of the food, the better healthier and happier the animals. It's not true that a dog or a cat that stays in a shelter will eat anything. Therefore, as in life, let's not focus on quantity, but on quality.

Blankets, pillowcases and towels will also come in handy.
However, the shelter does not accept duvets, pillows, mattresses, sponges, carpets, rugs, sleeping bags or clothing.   

They might be dangerous for animals, because if, for example, an animal bites a pillow, it may swallow the contents, which may cause huge problems. Only straw, which does not absorb moisture, is placed in the kennels, not textiles. We would also like to ask you to bring metal bowls, not plastic ones, as the plastic ones quickly become chew toys 

– explains the director of the shelter. 

University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ helps animals! 

The Psia Kość! campaign at the University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ is an annual donation collection for the Animal Shelter in ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ that is organised in November. University of ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ, as a socially responsible university, has been supporting four-legged residents of the shelter for many years. As part of its eleven editions, we have collected about 5 tons of food, as well as blankets, medicines, toys and accessories needed for dogs and cats.
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 ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ, the ZaÅ‚oga 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. In 2020, the ¾«¶«Ó°ÊÓ University of Technology joined our campaign 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!
