The need for food to help Romania's dogs

By Nancy Janes | Project Leader

feeding dogs in Moreni

Dear Friends,

As you may have heard, Romania has passed a new law that states that dogs will no longer be allowed to roam freely on the streets. If they are not provided places in homes, yards, or private shelters, they will be rounded up and put into public facilities where they will be held for 14 working days, and if not adopted, exterminated.

Many private charities with shelters in Romania are now taking in numerous dogs to protect them. These charities are strapped for funds as the demand upon them has increased. Romania Animal Rescue does our very best to help these private shelters by providing free spays/neuters and vet care as our funding allows. But the need for food is enormous.

One shelter we currently help is in Moreni, Happy Paws. They recently expanded their shelter to take in city dogs and are at maximum capacity at 180 dogs....that is 180 mouths to feed, and 2000 kilos of food per month to raise the funds for. Another shelter we help is Speranta shelter in Craiova, and they have over 300 mouths to feed. Both these charities are active in adoptions as well. As you can imagine the costs for these impoverished charities are huge. This is why we are trying to alleviate some of their burden. I hope you can help us to help them.

I have posted a few photos from Happy Paws in Moreni. Thank you so much for your help for the Romanian dogs, who by no choice of their own were born into a country that is overwhelmed with too many dogs and not enough good homes.

I wish you the best,

Nancy Janes

Plea for help in Tecuci

By Mihaela Oprea | Project Leader

Dear Friends,

Romania Animal Rescue received this request for help from Mihaela in Tecuci. The city recently built a shelter to house the street dogs, but cannot afford to feed them regularly or properly. They are asking for our help to feed the dogs and the many puppies this cold winter that are now living at the shelter. Can you help us to help them please? Here is what Mihaela wrote to RAR:

"Public Shelter (PS) Tecuci was opened in Septembre 2013 by the City hall of Tecuci and it has a capacity for aprox .500 dogs .The PS ia already full and the dogs need your help so please : If you can help the dogs from Tecuci PS, they are desperate for some food. We try to help also the dogs ,we feed them with food from donation but they need more food for all , and especially the little ones which are in the quarantine area and the puppies that have no moms and need special food. Please If you are able to donate and help dogs from PS Tecuci your help will be so welcome! You can help the dogs with donation for food so we can provide them with a better and rich nutrition for adults ones or even if you are able to donate food for them. The little puppies who also needs special food like : milk,rice, canned meat etc. and we need to feed them everyday with these eatable. Also if you are able to help and donate for vaccination, medicine for the treatment of those who need it , beds, bedding , vitamins for the weak ones etc. Every small donation means so much for all the dogs from PS because we can provide them with more food for the adults, with special food for puppies , with vitamins, vaccination so they can be healthy and have a chance for adoption and for a better life, a life that every dog deserve ! Thank you in the name of all the dogs from Tecuci PS !! "

Romania Animal Rescue would like to thank you as well for reading this plea for help. The cold winter is setting in on Romania now, and the animals need food to stay warm this winter. Please help if you can. Thank you! The holidays are now upon us and we wish you a wonderful Holiday Season and New Year.

All the very best to you wonderful animal lovers!
