Everything is alive in planet has the same rights humans has in my eye. Any animals Who needs help and care when they come my wayI can't turn my back to them. Sometimes I value animals more than humans. They give you back so much more than they take.
Because other people do not like dogs and hurt them, I do it to save them.
Sertap Yaman, Evde Özel Pet Bakımı, Kumyalı
Because I love Sertap and our dogs.

I am grateful for sponsorships and donations via Paypal: info@grafikstudio-mehltretter.de
I am happy that my siblings and mother can all live peacefully together here with me in ANNETTE'S House AND I am confident that we will find a way to support my friend's dogs in their shelter. SERTAP & EVREN have a dog hotel here in Kumyali and a shelter with 30 street dogs.
Education & Accomodation
The dogs are in the house, outside in the garden. Outside the site they wear harnesses and are on a leash in the village. They also follow without a leash, but it is safer. They are leashed in open fields and by the sea.
Healthy food & healthy treats
There is a good mix of dry food and I cook for them. Favorite dishes: warm liver & rice, chicken & rice, tuna & rice. There is a good mix of dry food and I cook for them. Favorite dishes: warm liver & rice, chicken & rice, tuna & rice. Dog biscuits a lá Martina.

LIMAN, female, probably born in 2020, neutered & chiped
HER CARACTER: Powerful & fast, clever, loving, cuddly. Main dog: follows commands & whistles and teaches the young dogs many good things.
Her Story
2021 (Corona time): She found me here in the harbor in Kumyali. Liman translated in Turkish is “port”. My mother fell very badly and had to go to the hospital. So I came home from Germany and cared for her 24/7. Every day I went swimming in the morning... one day she was there, even on the following days ... as if she had been waiting for me. It was three days that she even followed me to our gate. My mother had recovered well and was sitting in the garden watering the roses. We had agreed on our own: no more dogs. But then she suddenly said: “Oh, don’t we want to let them in?” She quickly developed a big stomach. We thought she was pregnant, but Sali tells us that she was seriously ill and died a short time later. “Save” was our answer. Liman came home weakened after the procedure. As the hours passed it got worse and we took her back to Sali. It was bad because her chance was 50/50. So she almost lost her life twice. She and Azur are my running buddies - happy and sometimes a little crazy. She belongs to Annette's House.
AZUR, female, probably born in 2022, neutered & chiped
HER CARACTER: Her beautiful blue eye hence her name. Very sweet, likes to play, likes running (sports), likes to dig in the ground, is funny. She is the cuddliest among the 5 dogs.
Her Story
Fall 2023: One day when I was running to the harbor, I saw a little beige dog and she accompanied me while running. I immediately fell in love with her beautiful blue eyes and named her AZUR. I kept seeing her and she never left my side. Time passed and one day I witnessed her cover. She came to me heavily pregnant and left again because there was too much noise from my renovation work. Then in May 2024 I saw her with 6 puppies at a neighbor's house. I fed her and the puppies. One day when I came feeding there were only three puppies left. I didn't want the other three to die, so I took them all with me. Immediate vaccination against Pavor with Filiz. But where were the other dog babies? I met Sertap and Evren while shopping, they took me and the many shopping bags with them in the car. We talked about dogs and rescue. I told you about Azur and her puppies. Suddenly Sertap said: "the other two siblings live with us"! Unfortunately we lost one: Pavor. But the others are happy and healthy. Poisoned in 2024 and medically treated and saved at the last moment by Gökçe She was neutered September 2024.
