1. We went to the shelter on March 15th: there is no more dog food, the dogs are already depleted
During our visit on March 15th, all the remaining stock was kept on a simple table.... 100kg of dry dog food, 50kg of pearl barley, enough to feed the 275 dogs for a maximum of 4 to 5 days
Most of the dogs at the shelter are already emaciated: their prominent ribs are visible to the naked eye
The quantity of food that Ildiko manages to give the dogs, but also its quality are responsible for this situation, the pearl barley and the few remains that Ildiko obtains being very poor in nutrients
Last November, the Animal Webaction community swung into action to help Ildiko by collecting 5400 kg of kibble. Unfortunately, the last remaining bags were all used by February 23rd.
For nearly a month, Ildiko has been trying to feed the dogs as she can, buying a few bags of kibble when she can, diluting it with pearl barley and leftover bread if she has some.
Our reporter Andrei went to the shelter on March 15 following Ildiko's SOS, and was able to see that the dogs are already visibly thinner due to this diet: they urgently need kibble!
2. Over the winter, 120 new dogs were gathered at the shelter. Ildiko is overrun, and needs to focus on adoptions to relieve the shelter!
One of Ildiko's last rescues: abandoned at the gates of the shelter a few days ago, she suffers from a very large mammary tumour. Ildiko will have to take her care and operation upon herself
Patrick was found with a broken leg a few days ago. Unfortunately, he was also diagnosed with parvovirus: he is still under surveillance at the clinic at the time of writing.
Ragnar and Jonas on their arrival at the shelter: condemned to euthanasia at Mihailesti's pound, they were rescued in extremis
Blueberrie and Wetie are the youngest in the shelter: at 2 months old, they were found alone and abandoned, and were gathered by Ildiko
Suzy recently arrived at the shelter to be rescued from euthanasia. She has not yet recovered from the trauma she experienced in the pound.
Found in the forest this winter, Teky had been abandoned with her 5 brothers. Thanks to Ildiko's efforts, 3 of them have already been adopted
During her rescues, it is not uncommon for Ildiko to face very harsh scenes, and dogs that can no longer be saved. It is because she cannot bear this idea that she fights tirelessly to always keep the door open for new dogs in distress at the shelter
In only 4 months, Ildiko gathered no less than 120 new dogs to her shelter, representing a 50% increase in the number of dogs hosted! 25 of them are still undergoing treatment, 4 had to undergo major surgeries.
On site last Saturday, we noticed how difficult it is to run the shelter under these circumstances: lack of infrastructure, funding, but also volunteers to help Ildiko in her task.
She shared with us her difficulties of the last few months, the priority being to treat those who need it, and to increase the number of adoptions in order to relieve the shelter. Ildiko already has so much to do, she needs our help to get kibble!
3. We need to help them
Rudi was found wandering among the cars, totally blind and disoriented. Despite appearances, Rudi is only two years old, but his body has already suffered a lot
Bulina suffered from a brain aneurysm, which left her partially blind
Nero was found abandoned with his two brothers on a garbage dump. Still young, Nero has a cruel need for kibble
Found when she was still a puppy, Iulusca was the first to be gathered at the shelter.... Ildiko has so far always managed to preserve her, thanks to her efforts and solidarity. She hopes to be able to continue to take care of her until her adoption
Einstein was rescued in extremis, directly from the van of the dogcatchers who were about to take him to the pound. He is in relatively good health, but remains quite traumatized
Muru is the oldest dog at the shelter. At the age of 15, and totally blind, Muru needs stability for his end of life, and to be protected from hunger
Kept tied with a chain less than one meter long, Skiny was discovered and taken by Ildiko, and has been at the shelter for nearly 3 years already
Arrived at the shelter last year, Dino has already been through hell: first threatened with euthanasia in the pound, he then spent months in a fraudulent boarding house, in which dogs were left abandoned, without vaccines or sterilization, and barely fed... several dogs died there, Dino was lucky enough to survive
4. If this collection fails, dogs won't receive any food
A failed collection on Animal Webaction
We can come into action, we have already booked a truck and pallets for 4800 kg, but we have to pay it before 28 March 2019.
If the collection fails, we will not be able to pay, the departure of the truck will be cancelled and none of the collected food will be delivered...
If the collection fails, we will refund all donors.
5. A storm severely damaged the shelter a few weeks ago: repair is difficult, Ildiko feels overwhelmed
The roofs of the kennels, made from sheet metal, tarpaulins and panels, have almost all flown away. Fortunately, none of the dogs were injured!
All the tarpaulins installed to protect the dogs from the cold and strong winds have also been torn off. Fortunately, new doghouses had been installed a few weeks earlier...
At Idliko's shelter, place has never been an issue. The equipment, on the other hand, is an important one: if Ildiko made sure that the grids are firmly installed, everything else has been built through resourcefulness.
To protect them from bad weather, the dogs had tin roofs and tarpaulins stretched here and there until last month, but a violent storm tore everything apart on February 22nd.
At the time of our visit, some roofs had already been reattached, and new tarpaulins had been installed for repair until Ildiko can do better.... But the damage is considerable, and does not give Ildiko time to find kibbles.
6. Solidarity sales, donation boxes, merchants' tours.... Ildiko works hard to find kibble, but that's not enough!
One of the last stalls run by Ildiko to sell some items for the benefit of the association
Since she started her association, Ildiko has always done many local actions to raise funds. As soon as she can, she sells various products such as jams that she prepares herself, key rings, decorative objects etc.... Unfortunately, this takes a long time and brings in little money.
She also manages to collect leftovers at low prices from shopkeepers, and benefits from some food donations. But all these actions only cover an average of 10% of the shelter's food costs!
As a part-time employee, Ildiko devotes all her income to the shelter: she and her husband live only on his own salary. A significant sacrifice, which is no longer enough to ensure the survival of the dogs:
"If I didn't have a job, these dogs would have starved to death a long time ago. But today, the situation is dramatic, I don't see how it could be any worse"
7. No foreign association wants to help: Ildiko has to manage on her own to buy dog food!
Ildiko is supported by only one foreign association, located in Germany: RespekTIERE. Very touched by the difficulties encountered at the shelter, the president of the association is unfortunately helpless as far as food is concerned :
"Ildiko is doing everything she can to give these dogs a better life. We helped her to build the boxes, but our association supports more than 40 shelters in Romania [...] I would be very grateful if you could help her"
Very supportive, Ildiko does not hesitate to help other associations when they need it, and has been involved in several critical rescues following calls for help from others. Today, she is the one who needs help.
8. Ildiko, between energy and optimism
Ildiko and Rudi
Ildiko created the shelter in 2014, but was already rescuing animals before that, which requires a lot of sacrifices. "It cost me my marriage," she says about her first husband, who once asked her to choose between him and the dogs.
A part-time hairdresser, she runs every day between her job, the shelter, the vet and the search for food. She invests all her time and money in the protection of dogs. Despite the difficulties encountered, she remains determined to continue along this path:
"I am optimistic: as long as I am healthy, I will do everything to help the dogs. I have faith in the human being, and I know that there are good souls to accompany me in this task, even if I have received little help so far."
9. What will the 4800 kg of food be used for ?
If the collection succeeds, the 4800 kg of kibble will be used to feed the 275 dogs at the shelter for several weeks.
