We have launched a new aid format at the "Shunn u Katun" clinic — the "Basket of Kindness." The idea is simple: you take one small bag of food and feed a stray dog near your home, work, or on your way.
What is it? The "Basket of Kindness" is a basket filled with portioned bags of dry food (approx. 500–700g). Limit: one bag per person. This project is funded separately through the "Jar of Kindness." We use these funds to purchase food and regularly restock the basket to ensure the aid is systematic rather than a one-time event.
Why it matters The "Basket of Kindness" isn't just about hunger. Stray dogs are often fed whatever is at hand: bread, leftovers, bones, or fatty and spicy food. Sometimes this leads to poisoning and stomach issues. With food from our basket, their diet becomes more balanced and predictable — and therefore safer for the dog.
How it works
Come to the "Shunn u Katun" clinic (Vanadzor) and take one bag of food.
Feed dogs in a safe location.
Afterward, share a photo and/or video with us. Photos and videos aren't just for "reporting" — they help the project grow. When people see it working, they join in and tell their friends, making the aid regular.
Initial Launch Expenses On February 10, 2026, we spent 13,080 drams to launch the project:
Tell your friends and share on social media, tagging the clinic.
P.S. A similar project is already operating in Gyumri thanks to the "Sobakeny Gyumri" community. We borrowed their great idea to launch the same format in Vanadzor: https://t.me/sobaki_gyumri
