Animal Webaction visited the site 16 July 2020 and confirms the situation described below.
"Lack of food is our main concern : dogs are getting sick, aggressive and nervous when they are hungry. We have only 40 kg left at this stage, while 250 kg are needed daily. We're trying to manage day by day...
The shelter is funded from donations, which are only a few right now. We go to the parking lot of a local store and ask for help from the people who shop there, but there is only so much we can get.
We can't keep up with everything, we ask for your help ! "
"After the lockdown was over, there has been an increase in the number of dogs to care for. Several dogs were abandoned, and because of the fact that there was traffic again, we've had many cases where dogs were hit by cars. These accidents are a big issue for us because we have to drive 80 km at least to the closest vet.
We receive many calls in regards with accepting new dogs and we are constantly informed about street dogs. We already got to the point where we accept only severe cases at the shelter (puppies, old dogs or dogs which had different accidents) because we cannot cope anymore."
"Nina is approximately 5 or 6 years old. She's been brought to the shelter a week ago, she had had an accident with a heavy agricultural machine. Her four paws were injured, her back leg had to be amputated, she had surgery yesterday.
It is just so sad, we have to help her the best way we can. She is exposed to high risks because of a weakened body, still being under treatment and recovery."
"We are mentally and physically exhausted due to the huge amount of work needed for maintaining the shelter, and the perpetual stress. We are completely dedicated to the shelter, as we can't afford to have any employees, so we basically have no personal life. We also skip many meals.
We are not able to buy kibble because of lack of money. We are in debt, also to the vet for the surgeries performed. We have a lot of ill dogs, that we couldn't leave behind because they were endangered."
"Everything we do is based on what we feel. We love and respect all dogs and feel extremely sorry for their situation. Our dogs are defenseless and , the only thing they have is us.
We face difficulties, like all shelters.We need support, help of any kind. Without food, we don't have the necessary conditions to take care of such a great number of souls."
Animal Webaction has a logistic platform in Romania, which allows us to intervene quickly and deliver kibbles.
"We do not have the time to create campaigns for awareness. The donors are local, and they help out with money as much as they can, but the amounts are very low.
Some people who know us offer small donations, within their limits. We are not known by people from other areas and this impacts our ability to acquire more sponsors.
We hope this campaign succeeds."
When a campaign fails, Animal Webaction cannot deliver the products. The organizer doesn't receive anything and the buyers are refunded.
