Spay and Neuter for 3,000 dogs in Romania

Project Report | Jun 26, 2026
Spay/neuter is vital. Kindness Patrol is Needed

By Nancy Janes | President and Founder, Romania Animal Rescue Inc.

Greetings Friends,

Romania Animal Rescue has launched a new program. The Kindness Patrol, enabling us to go out into the communities where the most needy animals live, to help them. Our hired team goes into communities, meeting caregivers and desperate citizens with their dogs to bring them to Center of Hope Hospital for spay/neuter, but not only. Kindness Patrol reaches the animals that are severly injured from extreme conditions without veterinary help, suffering from terrible parasite infestations, car accidents, many eye injuries and infections. Imagine living in a war zone of neglect. This is what these animals endure.

Many of these dogs are feral and that takes extra special catching skills. Our 3 experts are up to the challenge, having each worked in animal welfare for decades.

We send out the mobile team 5 days a week, often upon request from rescuers. Sometimes the dogs are brought to Center of Hope Hospital for treatment, and sometimes they are treated from our mobile caravan.

What we need from you, our donors, is support for this new project so that we can prevent more suffering. We have invested in the infrastructure, hiring employees and using the Spay Shuttle van for this program, however we need funds to be able to implement the work to the fullest.

Please, if you are able, help us to stop the endless cycle of unwanted cats born to suffer in Romania.

#GivingTuesday to Help Save Dogs in Romania

By Nancy Janes | President, Founder and CEO

We were able to get them spayed!

Greetings Friends,

#GivingTuesday is arriving soon, a day of GlobalGiving to charities. I know that many charities will be asking for your help during this time. Hopefully you will consider helping the dogs of Romania.

For us at Romania Animal Rescue, our mission is the same as it has always been since 2003...."To Establish Animal Welfare in the Country of Romania". There is no better way to do this then to help stop the suffering of unwanted animals; dogs that are often abandoned due to hardships by owners who cannot afford to care for them. Sometimes pregnant, often impregnated after abandonment. This is why we work extremely hard every day spaying and neutering, educating the public, and training more vets on how to perform minimally invasive spay/neuter surgeries.

As of October 31, 146,680 animals have been spayed and neutered by our team thanks to donor support. This incredible work is extremely difficult to achieve, yet so very rewarding. Knowing that we have and can prevent dogs from living in misery, prevent them from car accidents, attacks, diseases, starvation. Knowing that we can prevent males from fighting, females from having litter upon litter, often when they are still just pups themselves. With your help we have done this.

Romania Animal Rescue is a grassroots charity. We do not pay any staff or Board Members as we are volunteers and donors ourselves. The only people paid are the vets for their hard work.

As you view the photos be proud of the work you have enabled us to accomplish. To me it is nothing short of a miracle.

When RAR first started in 2003, spay/neuter was considered obsolete, and spaying was often a death sentence as many veterinarians did not know how to perform this surgery. Therefore people were reluctant. We worked for years to educate the public, find the highly qualified veterinarians to work with, and finally in 2008 our mission began to blossom.

Now looking at the daily work accomplished by the RAR team, I think about those days when I was continually told "this is not possible" in regards to starting our mission of animal welfare in Romania. It was possible and is expanding daily. The demands for our mobile work, our hospital work, our veterinary education work are constant.

I know this is a very hard economic time for many of us. I kindly ask for your support to please help us continue this mission. The animals need our ongoing support, however our funding is way down.... I hope you can help with a small donation. Thank you. I wish you a wonderful holiday season.
