About Us

Our story The story of ''Dobra Nada'' started over 20 years ago when 2 people, Laslo and Snezana, physical therapists and colleagues, started helping stray cats and dogs in Novi Sad (Serbia). As time passed by, the number of animals in their care went up and so they started a private shelter. The two of them invested a lot of time, love, dedication and their own finances into animal rescue. In over 20 years they faced many hardships and difficult decisions ...because running a non-profit organisation on your own, and especially so in Serbia, stands low chances of surviving. Despite all of this, quitting their rescue work was never an option for them, and neither was turning their backs on an animal in need.
Mr. Laslo Boka was a renowned shiatsu therapist, chiropractor, and Reiki master. He was very dedicated to his work, and as much as he was passionate about helping people, he was equally passionate about helping animals too. The cats and dogs he took care of were like a second family to him.
Sadly, Laslo passed away in August 2020 , and now his friend Snezana is left alone with nearly 90 animals. There are currently 66 dogs and 18 cats at the shelter.
That is too big of a workload and an overwhelming number of animals for just one person.
For this reason Snezana, with the help of few friends , is now actively working on rehoming dogs and cats from the shelter. Rehoming in itself is a process that will likely take a while ...That is why help is needed to keep the shelter operating. What is needed the most is help in animal food and money for covering other expenses (transport and vet expenses above all).
Monthly food needs are 750 kilos of dry dog food , 270 cans of cat food and 60 kilos of dry cat food. This is why we ask all people who like animals to please help Snezana and the paws she takes care of.
Please help Snezana to continue Laslo's work and to keep the memory of Laslo's noble mission alive , and help paws to stay safe and fed until they find their safe and loving forever homes they so much deserve.
