Liisa Leitzinger,
Owner
Since 2016, I started my non-profit organization in Lithuania and Finland, whose main mission is to help shelters and their dogs. Since the problem of homeless dogs in Lithuania is still extremely acute, one of the missions of the “Geri namai” center will remain helping homeless animals until every dog in Lithuania can enjoy a healthy and happy life!
It has always been my biggest dream to establish a dog center that would provide various services and activities for dogs and their owners. Therefore, establishing “Geri namai” is a true fulfillment of my dream!
The greatest joy of my home are three small puppies with very big personalities – Diesel, Honey and Gnome.
Živilė Vilčiauskaitė,
Director
I have been working with dogs for more than 10 years, I have gained a lot of knowledge while working in a dog and cat shelter, a veterinary clinic, a pet store and a hotel.
At the moment, three hearts cover the floor with hair in my house – Lucy, a 14-year-old three-legged female, and her two feline companions, both of whom have had neurological problems since childhood. But what all my pets have really taught me is that a disability is no reason not to enjoy every moment of life!
Karolina Ivanovaitė,
Dog Care Specialist
I am a hiking guide, a supporter of sports with dogs, the most important thing for me is nature, active activities and the dog’s mental and physical discharge. The first dog in the family appeared as a child, since then my whole life revolves around dogs and their well-being.
In 2017, I became a volunteer at an animal shelter, after taking a mixed breed from there, I plunged headlong into the world of cynology. Since 2017 I regularly participate in various Lithuanian and foreign trainers’ seminars, lectures and trainings on dog training, sports and health topics, I also obtained a certificate of exhibition assistant. If there is a dog somewhere – you will find me there too!
Nika Lukianskaitė,
Dog Care Specialist
My journey with dogs began with volunteering at an animal shelter, after which I decided that I wanted to devote my life to animals and chose to study veterinary paramedics.
I also took a dog named Mango from the shelter along with me on my journey of life. It was a tough road with him because he had problems with aggression from an early age, so training and dog behavior classes were my daily routine. I love long walks with my dog, when I have more free time we always go exploring the woods.
Irina Galkova,
Dog Care Specialist
I am a member of the Lithuanian Federation of Cynologists and the owner of the Thai ridgeback kennel “Baltijos Audra”. Dogs of this breed are stubborn, but if you start training early and have patience, you can deny the fact that Thai ridgebacks are difficult to train.
This is how I raised my two wonderful ladies, Nubi and Era. Nubi is the champion of the Baltic countries, Era just started her show career and is the owner of the Lithuanian youth champion title.
