Romanian Pound Won’t Feed Dogs

for 12 Days at Christmas

We’re Sending a Team to Help

____________________

We’ve learned that more than 400 dogs at the Mioveni pound in Romania will be on their own beginning on Christmas Eve. No workers are expected to come in over the holidays, leaving the dogs without food and water. Especially during the cold weather when these dogs have only minimal shelter from the cold, mealtime is the most important time of day. We can’t let them go hungry.

Typically, these dogs receive leftover food from the local prison and from a car factory. It is a mix of food scraps that also includes toothpicks, orange and banana peels, napkins and other garbage. We’ve joined a coalition effort of Romanian rescuers and the German group Helft Handeln who provided the kibble being served in the photo below. New leadership at the dog pound leaves us more hopeful of the potential for good changes and together we will try to change the dogs’ food supply and to make sweeping improvements to the dog pound over the next few years.

It will cost $130 each day to provide 23 sacks of kibble for the dogs, plus a bit of extra money to compel workers to come in to work those days. We will need repeat this all the days the workers are scheduled to be on vacation from Christmas Eve straight through to January 4. If your contributions exceed the cost of 12 days of dog food, we will be able to help with more good quality food in January and February and this will also help us feed many other dogs and cats in Romania who are also at risk of going hungry.

Thank you all for making every day, brighter for the animals who need us most. This is one holiday mission, we can acheive! We’ll post photos of the dogs being fed during holiday time.

Animal Rescue Chase

The Great Animal Rescue Chase celebrates the art of animal rescue with a worldwide race to rescue one million. It’s a free event, open to all, and is perhaps the only global animal rescue event aimed at helping any animal in distress, anywhere in the world. Our ambition is to create a culture of enthusiasm and pride in animal activism. We believe in teaching, by example, that there is a hero in each of us just waiting to be unleashed. Empowered animal lovers can not only save lives, but build the momentum for powerful animal welfare reform.
