Claiciene informs readers to the fact that, in sanctuaries, some groups of animals are continuously neglected and spend years, if not their entire lives, without being selected. “These animals are the elderly, adults, and the disabled.
That’s why my goal today is to make people aware of this kind of adoption and, mainly, about responsible adoption. Adoption can not be guided by the physical characteristics of the animal, however by the positive impact of living with these extremely special beings. It feels like drying ice a lot of the moment, but we can’t give up hope.”
