Team Germany
Team Germany – the backbone of the grassroots work
Coordination
Since the workload for our PLACE for STRAYS has grown steadily since our foundation, we couldn’t avoid restructuring ourselves, summarizing subject areas and appointing coordinators. This not only facilitates our communication, shortens decision-making processes and also ensures that the family feeling within the entire team is maintained.
Katja
Construction, maintenance and transport
Katja has lived in Portugal for many years, speaks Portuguese and, as the manager of our association, maintains contact with the official bodies. The focus of your work lies in the organization of the transports as well as the construction and maintenance of our PLACE for STRAYS. She also makes sure that everyone feels comfortable, that the fences are safe and the huts are tight.
Jacqueline
Homepage, Facebook and finances
All tasks that have to be done reliably and quickly are in Jacqueline's hands. She manages our finances, takes care of the bookkeeping with Katharina, coordinates our Facebook and homepage teams and initiates special campaigns. Planning and organization, these are Jacqueline’s strengths and thus she is our backbone and our red thread at the same time.
Anna
Pre-inspection and mediation
If a prize were awarded for motivation and commitment, Anna would certainly have it! Your enthusiasm infects everyone. Anna not only coordinates the placement of our dogs and the preliminary checks, but also looks after our foster homes in Germany, is on site to help as often as possible and of course also brings fur noses to Germany every time.
Team Facebook
When we founded our PLACE for STRAYS, we were committed to absolute transparency, among other things. All supporters should always be informed promptly and comprehensively about all happenings on site and the development of our furry friends. This reporting takes place primarily through our external appearances on Facebook and Instagram. While Instagram is managed by our dear Elena alone, the daily Facebook postings are created by Leni, Vivienne, Anne, Sonja, Claudia and Jacqueline.

Lena from Troisdorf (31, recruiter)
We finance our work for the dogs primarily through donations. The sponsorship program and the name auctions after the addition of new fur noses play a major role here. With the donations received here, we can have our protégées cared for by a veterinarian. Daniela ensures that sponsorship and name sponsorship certificates are sent out and that all sponsors receive regular information about their sponsored dogs.
Every dog we admit that travels to Germany via Traces must be documented in detail in a so-called dog inventory book. This task is in the hands of Marie-Lysann.
If a fur nose has been adopted, Lena makes sure that all necessary documents and information are available from the adopters and draws up the adoption contracts.
Team mediation
In order to find exactly the right family for each individual fur nose, some information is required. For this purpose, detailed discussions take place between those interested in adoption and our helpers from the placement team. While Elena leads the talks with buyers / inside who want to adopt locally in Portugal, look after Anna and Valentina the buyers / inside in Germany.

Team Pre-inspection
In addition to the many conversations that are held with those interested in adoption, every adoption is preceded by an obligatory preliminary check. During this pre-inspection, it is checked whether the local, spatial, family and other framework conditions for an attitude appropriate to the fur nose are given. Due to Covid-19, we have been carrying out these preliminary checks online for some time and have had very good experiences with them. Have you adopted a fur nose from us? Then you definitely had contact with Andrea, Lisa-Sophie, Neele, Kristina, Vanessa or Lisa Marie.

Team Transport
Many of our adopters live in Germany, so we send furry friends on the trip with reliable transport partners. Before our protégés can buy their ticket for the “happy bus”, some organizational tasks have to be done. For example, Katja takes care of the booking of the transport boxes, Janina the registration of the SIAC and traces and Lena creates a WhatsApp chat for the adopters, in which she informs them during the trip.

We have set up a volunteer program so that our furry friends can be cared for and socialized in the best possible way. Leni and Lina oversee this program. They accept the volunteer inquiries, maintain the booking calendar of our mobile home, which is located on the premises of the PLACE for STRAYS, and provide the volunteers with all the information they need.
With the establishment of our association and the recognition of the non-profit status, we also have to fulfill some obligations, such as: B. a complete bookkeeping, which leads to an annual financial statement and has to be presented to the tax office. Incoming payments must be booked, invoices paid and receipts carefully filed. This work is in the responsible hands of Jacqueline and Katharina.
