Construction of the animal shelter in Hanstedt: 30,000 euros are missing for progress

Financial challenges in building the animal shelter in Hanstedt

In Hanstedt, construction work for the new animal shelter is still, since 30,000 euros in financial support are missing. This defect caused deep concern during a visit to the SPD Wildeshausen, but also recognition of the previous construction progress.

The construction progress and the committed volunteers

The transformation of the former pigsty into a modern animal shelter is led by the Oldenburg-Land animal protection group. Anne Grafe-Weibrecht, the chairman, presented the ambitious plans during the tour and explained the functionalities of the new shelter, which will be able to record a variety of small animals in the future. Planned facilities include quarantine rooms and veterinary space.

challenge due to increased construction costs

As a result of numerous crises in recent years, the material costs and supply chains have come under pressure. Member of the Bundestag Susanne Mittag, who also took part in the visit, informed about possible additional funding from various organizations that could contribute to overcoming financial bottlenecks.

Some communities show interest

The situation could improve in the near future, since several communities have already signaled interest in accommodating their found animals in the new animal shelter. In 2025, the city of Wildeshausen plans to rewrite the support of found animals. Until then, the Delmenhorst animal protection association will transfer this responsibility.

The problem of uncastrated cats

An important problem for the animal shelter facility is the large number of free-range, uncastrated cats. Edith Kaminski, the press spokeswoman for the animal welfare group, emphasized the high costs caused by the supply of these animals. She urged the pet owners to have their pets neutered in order to defuse the situation and to reduce the stress for the shelter.

The importance of the animal shelter for the community

The construction of the animal shelter is not only a step to improve animal welfare standards in the region, but also represents an important initiative for the community. It is expected that it will play a central role in the care and care of fund animals, which ultimately also promotes the well -being of the entire animal population in the region.

The SPD Wildeshausen emphasizes that the financial support is urgently needed to drive the construction of the shelter and ensure that it can be put into operation soon.
