About us – The Team that made this project a reality!

Zsofia Orszagh is the President of Consultation SOS who initiated this project from the get-go. She has been helping organizations in the past on a volunteer basis for many years, but with the pandemic in 2020, her focus completely shifted to those who needed support due to lack of funding and/or were close to having their doors closed.

As she has been surrounded by animals all her life and being an animal lover herself, helping animal shelters that had to shut down for over a year due to the pandemic was the perfect choice to give back to the community. So major support started during Winter 2020 via her company to reach out to those in need to help first with fundraising, promotion, graphic design, and web design—all of which were offered free of charge.

Besides helping organizations in many ways, what she envisioned for Gazdira Vár to be is a platform where animals waiting to be adopted can be posted, with emphasis given to those animals who have been in shelters for years. The platform also includes educational and fun materials to learn about how to take care of animals, emphasizes the importance of adopting animals in need, and spreads the word about animal rescue organizations that need your support locally.

Her big dream was to connect shelters in different locations across the world to help each other when animals have difficulty getting adopted in one area. This dream became a reality during the Autumn of 2021 when she made connections with shelters in Iran. Feel free to read more about our collaboration here.
