Facing the winter in (all) our shelters

The last winter as such was thankfully not as cold as other winters, but still we had to provide all dogs with straw in the huts again and again. And in April, when we all thought the winter was over, there was another heavy winter break-in for about 1 week. In the winter time the dogs need more food. This also means higher costs again and again.

After the last mission in December 2019, during which roofs were once again vigorously built, there was another short mission in February to record dogs. This is also important so that the dogs become visible and have a chance for adoption.

This meant that for the rest of the time our animal welfare activists and their workers had to do everything without any support from volunteers. The COVID19 pandemic made things even more difficult.

The not so cold winter has brought us a tick explosion especially in Bucov, which we have to fight now.

Please continue to support ProDogRomania e.V. in all our projects and from about October 2020 on it will be 'Facing the winter' again

Warmly and stay healthy

Throughout December there were four volunteer groups to make a lot of work for the dogs in all the shelters.

Starting again with building roofs. A small team was in Bucov but they were very effective.And one of the romanian workers helped on the last day to fix the last roof. Incredible! 

Also the volunteers placed in some kennels tiles, gravel and doghouses.

Straw was delivered and all the volunteers distributed a lot of straw in the doghouses after cleaning them before. So in this isolated doghouses in the kennels with roofs the dogs can stand the winter better.

The shelter workers will change the straw during the whole winter. A very important task near to give the dogs enough food and to give them fresh water (not easy in winter because the water is very often frozen :( .

Till now it was a great work done by very engaged volunteers and also by the shelter workers.

Thank you to make this all possible!!
