TV Appearance for the Four-Legged Friends on the Saale
In the episode broadcast on Wednesday evening, the local animal shelter takes center stage. The animals currently waiting for a new home were presented to a wide television audience. According to MDR, a special highlight of the current show is an African grey parrot that can not only talk but, surprisingly, also meow deceptively realistically.
In addition, various people-oriented dogs and cats are introduced, which are urgently seeking loving and responsible owners. Anyone who missed the linear TV broadcast can catch up on the 25-minute episode for free via the internet and get an impression of the animals.
Background: Animal Welfare and TV Placement
Tierheim Jena plays a central role in animal welfare in the region. Every year, numerous surrendered animals, found animals, or confiscated creatures are taken in, provided with medical care, and rehomed. Formats like „Tierisch tierisch,“ which is already celebrating its 30th anniversary this year, provide enormous help to local facilities. The show’s reach increases the chances that even hard-to-place or older animals find a new home, thereby relieving the often limited local capacities. Interested parties wishing to adopt an animal are generally asked to deal intensively with the long-term keeping requirements and costs beforehand.
