Animal Webaction visited the site 12 September 2019 and confirms the situation described below.

In Romania, Anca has no more kibbles to feed the abandoned dogs who live on the streets.

Anca can no longer feed all of the street dogs, there are too many of them! 

Abandoned in remote places, they cannot find food by themselves, they are hungry.

On September 12, we joined Anca to meet them.

The stock of kibble she had left then is now exhausted, she has only managed to buy a few bags.

The French association that supports her is at a limit, she asks us to intervene.

We would like to send 2400 kg as an emergency.

100% transparency guaranteed.

 

 

1. Due to the lack of food, Anca can't feed all the street dogs, they're hungry!

###
Every day, Anca visits the sites near the canal and the woods, where many dogs hide "A lot of them are hardly showing on the roadside. A lot of them have puppies or are wild and scared of humans" explained Julius, our agent, after his visit

 

###
"The number of dogs is constantly rising due to abandonment. Only recently, a van came and unloaded 25 dogs in the woods..." Anca deplored when we came.

 

###
These two young puppies were first seen by Anca during our visit. New street dogs are constantly appearing, but the food Anca can provide is insufficient to feed them all

 

###
Overall, Anca cannot use more than 15 kg of kibble per day during her visits, but she already feeds about 40 dogs that depend entirely on her. Newcomers and the most fearful ones cannot expect to benefit from her help....

 

For the past four years, Anca has been taking care of street dogs and going to them every morning to bring them food and water. But their numbers continue to grow, and it has simply become impossible for her to feed them all. "The number of dogs on the streets is constantly increasing due to abandonment. Just recently, a van came and left 25 dogs in the woods," Anca explained.

Worse still, most street dogs are abandoned in isolated places far from the city and civilization, where they have no chance of being able to manage on their own...

 

 

2. About forty abandoned dogs already rely on Anca to survive and fight hunger

###
On the outskirts of the city, these ten stray dogs have taken up residence on the site of a still active wreckyard. If the landowner tolerates their presence, the dogs have to find food by themselves, and depend on the rations brought by Anca

 

###
Our agent Julius went with Anca to the 7 sites she visits every morning to provide the dogs with food and water. Always staying by the canal, these dogs happily greeted him

 

###
This parking lot reserved for trucks is one of the places Anca visits on a daily basis. The dogs camp there hoping to find leftovers to feed themselves, but mainly survive on Anca's kibbles

 

###
Devoted for 4 years to street dogs, Anca has managed to build real bonds with about forty of them, who patiently await her arrival day after day

 

###
While some dogs stay in packs, others prefer to remain independant. This does not prevent Anca from thinking of them, and from travelling 30 km every day to feed each of them

 

Every morning, before going to work, Anca travels 30 km in search of dogs used to her visits, who depend on her for food.

Sheltered in the woods, along national roads, under bridges or in parking lots, they are far from any source of food or even drinking water. Without Anca, they could not survive on their own... But the quantities she is able to provide them are already kept to a minimum, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to maintain them! 

"I strive to improve the life of abandonned dogs. I've been feeding them for four years. I feed about 40 dogs every day. And I consume a bag of 10kg a day with great savings. It's not always enough, but these are the possibilities I have"

 

 

3. Exploited, malnourished and left untreated, 25 shepherd dogs also rely on the kibbles brought by Anca

 

###
Exploited to keep cow herds, these dogs only have a useful function for the farmers. They therefore receive no care nor food other than the remains of whey from time to time....

 

###
Visibly breastfeeding, this female dog relies on the food brought by Anca. Because they are too wild, Anca has unfortunately not succeeded in forging deep bonds with the dogs in the pack, but they do rely on the food she brings them

 

###
Newly arrived, this dog is only a few months old. Providing care and food for dogs would be more expensive for owners than replacing the weakest ones as they go along

 

In addition to abandoned dogs, Anca also helps a pack of shepherd dogs several times a week. Used to control cow herds, these dogs have only a useful function, and replacing them is easy.

They therefore receive no medical care, and are only fed with whey when some remains.... Anca therefore provides them with kibbles, and has also provided medical care for many of them, suffering from skin diseases.

 

 

4. Faced with ever-increasing needs, Anca can no longer afford to buy kibbles, she is desperate

Some of Anca's loyal supporters, based in England, are trying to help her raise funds to buy kibble

 

###
During our visit on September 12th, Anca had 180 kilos of kibbles left, enough to last about 9 days. Thanks to the English supporters, she was able to buy a few bags, but knows she can't feed all the dogs!

 

###
Anca also has to buy water that she leaves every day for the dogs, many of whom have no access to any source of drinking water

 

Every month, Anca invests a minimum of 100€ for the good of the dogs "Taking in consideration her small salary, it is quite a lot." says our agent Julius. Unfortunately, this amount is far from enough to cover the dogs' needs: it is very insufficient to feed them all, and even more so to treat them...

Anca still manages to help so many street dogs because she has the help of a small group of individuals based in England, and the French association Woolly Woofters. But their means are modest, the quantities they manage to collect are insufficient and always a little more difficult to find...

"It gets harder every month to provide for the dogs. New abandoned dogs appear all the time. The medical treatment costs are very high and it gets harder to provide food" says Anca, who fears not being able to meet their needs.

 

 

5. We want them to have enough to eat this winter

 

###
Anca always finds Marona by the canal, near the port, where she is used to staying with several other dogs

 

###
Capatanosul is one of those who live in the port with Marona, and has established deep ties with Anca

 

###
Although she does not have a fixed location, Negruta often walks the streets near a hardware store

 

###
Rudy is part of a pack of 7 dogs, having found shelter in the woods where they hide most of the time. Rudy is one of the few who venture to the road to meet Anca

 

###
Nebunica was one of the first dogs discovered by Anca, which made her want to give them a better life

 

###
Rambo is one of the dogs fed by Anca for 4 years now, and remains faithful to his location

 

###
Also used to Anca's visits, Turbacila never misses an appointment, and has also been spayed thanks to her, in order to prevent him from creating new litters

 

###
Fed for 4 years by Anca, Fifi is very attached to her, and could not manage on her own without kibbles

 

 

6. If we don't reach the target, dogs won't receive any food

A failed collection on Animal Webaction

 

We can take action, we have already booked a truck and pallets, but we have to pay it before October 2nd.

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.

 

 

7. The medical care needed for street dogs is enormous, and a strain on Anca's budget

###
Covered in scabies, this dog appeared as a new member of the pack during our visit. Anca immediately took charge of his care

 

Because life on the streets is difficult, diseases and injuries are common, and medical care is frequently required. "The general health condition of the dogs is good due to the care Anca provides. She treats ill dogs and takes them to the vet" Julius explains. 

But the costs of medical care are very high, and are a heavy burden on Anca's budget and her few supporters. Scabies, parvovirus or heartworms are only some of the last diseases that had to be treated, and the needs increase with the number of dogs.

 

 

8. Anca fights on her own every day to protect these dogs, including against the police

###
Anca takes great care of the street dogs, even if it means having to defy the authorities, and multiply the fines

 

Every morning, Anca wakes up two hours earlier than necessary, to have time to meet all the street dogs she feeds before having to go to work. She travels more than 40 km alone, and repeatedly leaves food and water for her protégés.

By going there at dawn, she also tries to avoid police patrols, which have already issued several fines... because feeding street dogs is considered an infraction there: "They often follow me. If I see them, I have no other solution than to leave and come back later," Anca explains.

 

 

9. With her help, dozens of dogs are spayed and neutered every year, we must help her to continue

###
During his visit, our agent Julius also accompanied Anca to meet the volunteers of the Animal Society Foundation, which runs spay and neuter campaigns for several weeks each year. Because she knows the street dogs and their hiding spots well, Anca plays a crucial role in the success of these campaigns

 

Anca not only feeds and cares for street dogs, she also actively participates in regulating their population, by getting involved in spaying and neutering campaigns.

The week before our visit, she had allowed 11 dogs to be spayed and neutered: "Anca helps them in that area because she knows the dogs and knows where they are hiding. Even though they struggle to catch the dogs for treatment because they are sometimes very wild and do not like human encounter." sums up Julius.

In an area without any public spaying/neutering program, where public pounds are overcrowded and shelters scarce, Anca plays a major role, we must support her! 
 

 

10. The Woolly Woofters association is not able to provide more support for Anca, and asks us to intervene

From France, Linda Renton manages the Woolly Woofters association, to help animals in need around the world "We give of our time, we raise funds to pay for transport, food, treatments, spay" sums up Linda. Most of the funds collected come from the sale of creations made by the members of the association: knitted objects, paintings, and even plants of all kinds.

But the association generates little money, and supports several rescuers, particularly in Macedonia Bosnia and Romania: the support provided to Anca is already very difficult for them, it is impossible for them to do more...

 

11. Anca gives everything to change the lives of these dogs

###

 

If Anca is so involved with street dogs, it is actually a bit of a coincidence: "Four years ago, I was driving on the road that goes under the bridge, near the canal, where many dogs hide. I came across Rambo, Fifi and several others, and wondered who was feeding them. Of course, no one did. The love of dogs and the compassion I felt pushed me to feed them."

Since then, she has given herself body and soul for them, but is haunted by the idea of not being able to provide for them. "Please take care of your dogs. Sterilize them and don't abandon them. Above all, if you meet stray dogs, be kind to them, they are souls too"

 

 

12. The plight of stray dogs in Romania

13. Through our logistics centre in Romania, we can operate rapidly!

If the collection succeeds, the food will leave directly from our logistics centre in Romania! So we can act very quickly, help Anca and the street dogs to get kibble!

 

14. What will the 2400 kg be used for ?

This collection is organized by the French association Woolly Woofters, for the benefit of street dogs fed by Anca. The 2400 kg of kibble collected will be delivered to Anca to feed the street dogs.
