有人收养了一些没人要的小狗，他经营着一个有750只狗的收容所

In the human-animal relationship, the dog does not care if its owner resides in a mansion or on the street, what is their religion or the color of their skin. Love, care, affection and respect are enough to earn a dog’s trust. But even so, many of them are thrown to the streets as garbage. We will tell the story today of a big-hearted man who has decided to change his life … and many others.

在人与动物的关系中，狗不关心主人是住在大厦里还是住在街上，也不关心主人的宗教信仰或肤色。爱、关心、喜爱和尊重足以赢得狗儿的信任。但即便如此，它们中的许多人还是被当作垃圾扔到街上。今天我们将讲述一个心胸宽广的人的故事，他决定改变自己的生活……以及其他许多人的生活。

When Sasha opened his shelter in 2008, he probably didn’t expect it to become so overcrowded

当萨沙在2008年开办他的收容所时，他可能没有想到它会变得如此拥挤

And by “overcrowded” we mean 750 dogs living there at this very moment

这里所说的“过度拥挤”是指此时此刻住在这里的750只狗

It all started in 2008, when Sasha Pesic was returning to his home in the Serbian city of Nis after a long day, and happened to meet four abandoned puppies along the way. The scene moved him to such an extent that even without financial conditions, he began a plan to help them. This small display of love, dedication and solidarity started something that eventually made him one of the leading defenders of animals in Serbia.

这一切始于2008年，当时萨沙·佩西克在塞尔维亚城市尼斯度过了漫长的一天，回到家中，途中碰巧遇到了四只被遗弃的小狗。这情景感动了他，使他即使没有经济条件，也开始计划帮助他们。这种爱、奉献和团结的小小展示，最终使他成为塞尔维亚动物保护者中的领军人物。

Sasha didn’t close the door to any of the poor four-legged friends that needed his help

萨沙没有拒绝任何需要他帮助的可怜的四条腿的朋友

Along with 6 volunteers, Sasha opened a shelter to provide home and food to all four-legged furry creatures without discrimination. All this, thanks to the contributions and donations he receives from various parts of the world. And if that wasn’t enough, he knows all of their names, vaccinates them, sterilizes them and even gives them an identification microchip.

萨沙和6名志愿者一起，开设了一个避难所，为所有四条腿的毛茸茸的动物提供住所和食物，没有任何歧视。这一切都要归功于他从世界各地收到的捐款。如果这还不够，他知道他们所有人的名字，给他们接种疫苗，给他们消毒，甚至给他们一个识别芯片。

Together with other volunteers they care of the dogs and make sure they all get vaccinated and sterilized

他们和其他志愿者一起照顾狗，确保他们都接种疫苗和消毒

The shelter currently has over 750 dogs, has rescued 1,200 and about 400 of them have been adopted by people around the world. Pesic is an excellent example for your country and the world. But like any superhero … he has his enemies. And in this case, it is the landowners where the shelter is located who are requesting their departure.

该收容所目前有750多只狗，救了1200只，其中约400只被世界各地的人们收养。Pesic是一个很好的例子，为你的国家和世界。但和任何超级英雄一样，他也有敌人。在这种情况下，是避难所所在的土地所有者要求他们离开。

Fortunately, a petition signed by thousands of people has led to the authorities giving up, and although the matter is not permanently settled, Pesic is grateful that his dogs still have a home. The shelter is overcrowded, as Sasha himself admits, but for now, he has no better alternative.

幸运的是，成千上万人签署的请愿书让当局放弃了，虽然这件事还没有得到永久的解决，佩斯奇很庆幸他的狗还有一个家。正如萨沙自己承认的那样，收容所过于拥挤，但目前，他没有更好的选择。

“I receive zero assistance from the government and some vets are actually charging me more than regular prices because they think I have a lot of money from donations. I’m all on my own and I cover the veterinary treatment and everything necessary out of donations and my own pocket.”

“我没有从政府得到任何帮助，一些兽医实际上收取了比正常价格更高的费用，因为他们认为我有很多捐款。我自己一个人，我负责兽医治疗和所有必要的费用，全部由捐款和我自己的口袋支付。”

The total number of dogs that Sasha has saved is around 1200

萨沙一共救了1200条狗
