Animal Welfare Education in Romania

Greetings Animal Lovers!

Our education program has many aspects, from actual booklets, flyers, posted signs along roadways telling people of our gratis spay/neuter programs.  Another aspect is the information spread by the local organizers for our many mobile spay/neuter and veterinary care visits. 

Recently RAR was in a rural village near Campina providing spay and neuter.  The village has no vet, and the surrounding towns vets are too costly for most of the impoverished residents.

An elderly woman heard that our vet team would be in her village.  Her dog, Tiny, had a huge tumor on her stomach.  Tiny is all Mrs. Georgescu has in the world, and they love one another dearly.  Mrs. Georgescu brought Tiny to the spayathon with the hopes that our vets could help.......and help they did!   Tiny was brought back to the Center of Hope where she received surgery to remove the tumor and stayed for a week's recovery.  She was reunited with Mrs. Georgescu and they will live happily ever after.  

This is such rewarding work, to help those who feel there is no one who will help.  This is what motivates us each and every day.  Thank you for supporting our work.

Greetings Dear Friends,

During this challenging time for our world, we at Romania Animal Rescue needed to be very creative in continuing to reach communities with our message of animal welfare and "Neuter or Spay!  No More Strays!"

Our Veterinary Director Dr. Aurelian has created 4 signs placed along roadways where puppies, kittens, pregnant mothers, or in- heat females are abandoned by people who cannot afford to spay and neuter.  They don't realize that there is gratis spay and neuter service at our Center of Hope near Bucharest (as donations allow).   

Dr Aurelian placed 3 signs in forested areas, and one near a highway.  The sign tells the reader to not dump animals in the forests where they will die of thirst or hunger, but please call our Center of Hope to make an appointment for this free service.   The cost for a spay for us is $25 and saves potentially hundreds from suffering!  As Dr. Aurelian explains in the video, RAR is doing what the government should be doing.  We are the only charity in Romania that has placed signs to deter citizens from abandonment while offering them a means to do right by the animals.

In addition to this, we've created masks for the public, using our logo with the paw print.  These have been extremely popular.  Our staff as well as clients use this simple tool to express animal welfare importance whilst we wait out the Covid crisis. Children and adults alike wear these and spread the word that animals are important in our world.

Your donations are at work in Romania.  Please continue to support this vital work and share with friends.  Thank you all very much. Together we are changing the situation for the animals in Romania!
