Raid To Save The Last 40 Dogs. This Morning Was In..

RAID TO SAVE THE LAST 40 DOGS!

This morning was incredibly tense as we fought tooth and nail to secure custody of the final 40 dogs from an illegal and extremely neglectful shelter in Romania. Once again, the police shrugged their shoulders and were going to do nothing to assist when our rescued vans pulled up. But we would not turn back.

The five hour drive is much shorter on the way home when you have 40 souls tucked safely inside. This is a day we have dreamed of for a very long time after wrangling law enforcement for custody of these animals. We’ve taken out over 160 in total (dogs, cats and a pony) and now will apply pressure to prevent the perpetrators from resuming their illegal activity. Sadly, law enforcement against animal abusers is widely absent in Romania, but we will not give up.

This summer alone, we’ve taken out more than 70 dogs from that shelter and the costs are very high. Feeding them all, vaccinating, spaying/neutering is just the beginning. We’re also building new kennels and buying new dog houses to expand the shelter of our partners at Afumati Dogs so that they can rehabilitate the dogs there in Romania before the dogs can be ultimately adopted elsewhere in Europe. The process is slow for dogs who have been abused and lived in fear for so long, but they all have such a bright future now.

We are a few thousand dollars in debt right now and on the 1st of the month, we need to send out grants for monthly food for the thousands of animals we feed each month. While today is a day of celebration, its also a day of action. We would be so grateful for your help.

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.
