Animal Webaction visited the site 24 October 2019 and confirms the situation described below.
In Romania, this shelter no longer has kibbles for its 250 dogs, they will starve to death!
Diseases, cold and abandonments that keep increasing make this time a very hard one for abandonned dogs, several have already died.
Alina and Anda buy kibbles bit by bit, praying every day to be able to get some again the next one...
The situation is hanging by a thread, Alina and Anda beg us to intervene.
We were on site on October 24th, the shelter is overcrowded.
We want to help them, by sending 4200 kg of kibble as an emergency.
With ever-increasing abandonments, weather conditions becoming more and more difficult, and diseases developing further, this time is particularly difficult to live through and dangerous for dogs.
Alina and Anda are doing their best to help the street dogs, and protect the shelter dogs as best they can, but they are powerless without kibbles.
Last August, the Animal Webaction community got together to send 4800 kg of kibble to the shelter, but the last bags were eaten almost three weeks ago.
Since then, Alina and Anda have been trying to make ends meet, and have also been appealing for donations. But this only allows them to buy a few bags bit by bit, and places the entire shelter in a very precarious state.
On October 31, Alina told us that she had enough food left to feed the dogs for the same day, and that she had enough to buy kibbles only for the next one...
At the shelter, Alina and Anda currently house 250 dogs, about 40 more than the maximum capacity they can theoretically manage. "Unfortunely, in the last period of time, people started abandoning more and more dogs, especially puppies. This is how we end up to have 250 dogs, whith around 40 puppies at the moment" Alina explained.
"All these new puppies and adult dogs, mean more neuters, more vaccinations. More visits to the vets, some have problems. We also had some puppies that were sick of Parvo and that died" she also regrets.
"The most harsh time of the year is the winter, from December until March. Usually, we get stuck inside the shelter because the snow blocks the access. Last year we were stuck 2 weeks." Anda explained to us during our visit
We can take action, we have already booked a truck and pallets, but we have to pay it before November 6th.
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.
For years, Alina and Anda have dedicated themselves body and soul to the care of abandoned dogs.
Anda passed on her passion for animals to her daughter Alina. They both manage the shelter, perform daily rescues, care for the animals and promote them for adoption so that they can find a loving family far from the miserable life they have lived until now...
When she is not at the shelter, Alina continues her veterinary studies, hoping one day to find an even greater solution to the problem of street dogs: "Even though we try to make free spay and neuter campaigns, people just don't want to understand that this is the best and more humane solution for the situation in Romania. And I can't wait to finish the vet school to start spaying every dog around, as much as possible "
If the collection succeeds, the food will leave directly from our logistics centre in Romania! So we can act very quickly, let's help Alina, Anda and their 250 dogs to have kibbles!
This collection is organized by the Suflete Dragi association. The 4200 kg of kibbles collected will be delivered to Alina and Anda to feed the 250 dogs in the shelter.
