The charitable organizations "Happy Paw" and "Ark-Odessa" invite everyone to an open door day on May 4th. The purpose of this event is to promote the adoption of shelter animals so that as many homeless cats and dogs as possible can find their new homes.

Currently, the "Ark-Odessa" shelter cares for over 800 animals. The organizers emphasize that each new animal in the shelter adds pressure on the staff and the existing residents due to the risk of illness and food shortages.

"Open door day is a wonderful opportunity for the whole family to spend time together, especially for those who have long dreamed of adopting a pet but don’t know where to start. ... Helping homeless animals isn’t just about financial support; it’s also about giving your time, effort, and most importantly, attention", the message states.

During the event, there will be guided tours of the shelter, an introduction to shelter rules, stories about the lives of local cats and dogs, and "cat-dog therapy". Additionally, attendees can help the shelter with tasks such as cleaning, feeding, walking dogs, and playing with cats.

The open door day will take place on May 4th at 12:00 PM at the address: 1st Sorting St, 22.
