OUR STORY

Founded in 2012, Balkan Underdogs is a registered non-profit charity run solely by volunteers dedicated to helping the neglected dogs of the Balkans.  

​

There is a UK based team made up of the trustees and volunteers. These volunteers help to spread awareness, raise funds, perform home-checks and assist with the adoption process. 

In the Balkans, we rely on our team of volunteers to locate, feed and rescue the unfortunate souls who end up on the streets. These volunteers run the kennels and are a fundamental part of our organisation. 

The Trustees

Balkan Underdogs is managed by a team of trustees, who hold overall responsibility for the charity's finances, and for developing programmes such as the Spay & Neuter Campaign and the Pound Appeal.
