Animal Webaction visited the site 24 June 2019 and confirms the situation described below.
The food stock is coming to an end, and Monica's health is deteriorating: the 60 dogs at the shelter need help!
In great pain, Monica has to undergo surgery on July 16th, which will leave her disabled for 2 to 3 months.
To get human help at the shelter over this period, she must absolutely guarantee a sufficient amount of dog food, yet the storage is almost empty!
Monica cannot afford to buy these kibbles, her few existing supports cannot either.
Following her SOS, we went to the site on June 24th: her concern and the urgency of the situation were obvious.
To ensure that dogs have enough to eat during this difficult time, we want to send 2400 kg of kibble as a matter of urgency.
Made aware of the difficulties encountered by Monica, we went to meet her at the shelter on June 24th. Under a lot of stress, Monica is confronted with a multitude of problems: debts, health issues, and constant worry for the 60 dogs in the shelter overwhelm her.
The stock of kibbles remaining at the shelter is shrinking, Monica mixes it with bread, water and rice because she knows it is impossible for her to renew it....
"The help with the food would mean such a relief for her. She is worried about how to feed the dogs all the time, and especially she thinks of how will she feed them in the future" our agent Ioana told us after her visit.
For several years now, Monica has been postponing her knee surgery, in order not to leave the dogs in the shelter. But her health is deteriorating, her suffering is permanent and disabling, it has become impossible for her to continue like this.
"She must have a surgery at her knees and the recovering will take some time. She will need some people to take care of her dogs during this time (and we are working on it - we are looking for volunteers or paid people to help her - but she needs to have enough food for them at her home" explains Carmen, who has been supporting her for a long time.
"Now I need help more than ever [...] My health is shaky, I have to be admitted to the hospital for surgery. On July 16th, I'll be hospitalized. I'm forced to let animals die here starving or I'll quit surgery. Once again, I call on those who can and want to help me." says Monica.
We can take action, we have already booked a truck and pallets, but we have to pay it before July 3rd.
If the collection fails, we will not be able to pay, the departure of the truck will be cancelled and none of the collected kibbles will be delivered...
If the collection fails, we will refund all donors.
Monica lives on a meagre retirement pension, which she has divided as she can between her needs and those of her dogs for nearly 8 years.
This does not allow her to meet the necessary expenses for the shelter on a continuous basis, Monica already has several debts piling up.
To get out of this situation, and ensure that her dogs can eat their fill until she recovers, she would have to pay for more than 2 tons of kibble, which is totally impossible for her!
The association Friends For Second Hand Paws has been supporting Monica for several years, but has not been able to help her to buy kibble for several months now: "I try to help Monica as much as I can, because she really needs it, but I have so much "own" dogs in Romania, Brasov and Bucharest" explains Sylvia, its president.
From Holland, Hulp Doet Leven also provides very precious support to Monica: they carry out most adoptions (about thirty over the last 3 months), and send a few bags of kibble each time they come to Romania to pick up some dogs , but they cannot ensure a food stock for nearly 3 months!
On a daily basis, Monica is alone in her shelter to care for the animals. The only help she receives comes from foreign individuals, who have known her shelter thanks to the social networks. If these visits are precious, they only provide very little relief to Monica: it is only a few days a year...
"Here in this area no one is helping me, I am the only one who helps the tortured, abandomed animals, mistreated by my peers, but now I need help. The only ones who think of me and help as much as I can be friends from abroad. A few. " sayw Monica.
Monica moved to Siriu in 2011: she shares her land and house with her dogs, day and night.
At 70 years old, Monica takes care of everything at the shelter: she cleans the pens every day, provides treatments and medical care, feeds the animals, rescues them, even sleeps with the most fragile or frightened ones. For them, she never leaves her shelter, not even to visit her children living abroad.
"It's very hard. I have no life, but I can't bear to stand by and do nothing, to ignore them. I only live for my animals. Where I live, people don't like animals: they throw them away like garbage, mutilate them and mistreat them. People say I'm crazy to do what I do, that the situation of street dogs is desperate."
If the collection succeeds, the collected food will leave directly from our logistics centre in Romania! We can therefore act very quickly, and help Monica's 60 dogs to get food !
This collection is organized by the association Friends for Second hand paws, for the benefit of Monica's shelter. The 2400 kilos of kibble collected will be delivered to Monica to feed the 60 dogs welcomed at the shelter
