Animal Webaction visited the site 08 December 2019 and confirms the situation described below.

In Romania, this shelter will soon have nothing left to feed its dogs, they will kill each other! 

Following Maria's SOS, we went to the site on December 8th.

By the end of the week, there will be no kibble left.

Overcrowded, the shelter is already seeing fights break out, a situation that will escalate without food: the weakest will not survive.

The shelter has prevented dozens of dogs from being euthanized, we now have to fight for them.

We want to help them, by sending 2400 kg of kibble as an emergency.

100% transparency guaranteed.

 

 

1. Thanks to the shelter, they escaped euthanasia in extremis, but they will have nothing left to eat in only a few days 

###
As the pound was preparing to euthanize all its residents before its closing this summer, Yankee was rescued just in time, and brought urgently to the association's shelter

 

###
Lisa also avoided euthanasia this summer, thanks to the responsiveness of the volunteers who set up the shelter in extreme urgency to accommodate a large number of additional dogs

 

###
Bobba would not have survived without the volunteers, who fought for him and found a place for him, despite his large size

 

###
A total of 40 dogs were rescued in extreme emergency to save their lives. Due to lack of space, the shelter was only able to accommodate part of it, but the volunteers struggled to have the remaining ones placed in other shelters or foster

 

Despite a closure announced on July 31, the pound continued to receive dogs after that date, blackmailing volunteers for euthanasia. A situation that is now over, but that Maria fears will reappear

 

 

Urgently set up at the end of 2018 to prevent euthanasia for dogs held captive at the municipal pound, the shelter has rescued dozens of dogs over the past year. But last July, the situation changed with the announcement of the sudden closure of the pound. 

Sentenced to be euthanized if they were not rescued, the forty dogs then captive of the pound had to be rescued in extreme urgency.... Maria and the volunteers of the Lupy association worked very hard, with other associations to assist them, to get them all out on time. 

A huge burden for Maria, with a shelter that now accommodates twice as many residents as originally planned, and a myriad of problems: lack of space, resources, and an impending food shortage....

 

 

2. The shelter is full, fights are already breaking out: we must at all costs avoid a food shortage to prevent them from killing each other

###
At the time of our visit, the shelter housed 39 dogs, almost twice its initial capacity... an overcrowding that causes tensions among the dogs, and fights can quickly break out

 

A few months ago, Swann had already been the victim of a fight with other dogs from the shelter, and had to be taken to the vet urgently to treat his multiple injuries

 

At the end of November, Puffy was also the victim of an attack, and was seriously bitten four times by another dog from the shelter

 

###
One of the oldest residents of the shelter, Royy is very affected by the situation, and very scared since the attack on Swann

 

###
A small dog of submissive nature, Kim is fearful and would probably be among the first victims if a food shortage were to break out

 

Initially built to accommodate about twenty dogs, the shelter now has twice as many. A situation far from ideal, but the only existing solution to avoid euthanasia for these dozens of dogs! 

Maintained in great promiscuity, the dogs become agitated: the most submissive ones for now manage to retreat, but if the food were to be lacking, it would be impossible to prevent fights from taking place.

"There are too many dogs per enclosure and some cannot be let out or will not come out anymore, because they are too traumatized" From Friday onwards, there will be no more food left. If the food appeal does not succeed the dogs will become more and more aggressive, they will attack each other and fight" Maria explained to us during our visit, worried about the coming months.

 

 

3. The current stock of kibble will be completely gone by December 13th, we must take swift action

###
Following Maria's SOS, we went to the shelter on December 8. She and Manuela, Vice President of the association, expressed their concern to us: "Every other requirement and administrative task is taken care of in time and with plenty patience and some frustration, as long as there is food for the dogs to survive. The biggest need is the food"

 

###
There were only 170 kg left when we came by, enough to feed the dogs until Friday, December 13 only

 

"Every other requirement and administrative task is taken care of in time and with plenty patience and some frustration, as long as there is food for the dogs to survive. The biggest need is the food" Maria explained, asking that this point be emphasized.

She who fought so hard for the survival of these dogs, she cannot accept to resign herself and watch them starve to death...
 

 

 

4. Despite the SOS, the food stock is quickly and surely running out, volunteers are begging us to intervene

Out of desperation, calls for help have been made on the shelter page, but so far there have been very few results....

 

In nearly 20 days, the online pool dedicated to the purchase of kibbles has only obtained 150 euros, a precious but very tiny amount to meet the needs....

 

Alerted both by Maria and by one of her faithful supporters in France, we had a long exchange with them.

The situation today seems inextricable: the collections and appeals for donations do not work, the few current supporters of the shelter have already been mobilized and have done their best.

Overwhelmed by the number of dogs who rely on her and the amount of problems to manage, Maria does her best to ensure that the dogs can be adopted, but she can't find anymore kibbles, she begs us to support her.

 

 

5. 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 December 12th.

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.

 

 

6. Set up on a volunteer's farm, the association's second shelter houses 53 dogs, who will also be without kibbles in a few days' time

###
In her shelter, Georgina currently has 53 dogs, whom she tries to protect as best she can. Rescued to avoid euthanasia or a painful death on the street, all were saved thanks to the shelter

 

###
"One can see clearly she is suffering for the dogs, is very distressed about not having food for them, and is constantly thinking of the dogs she left in some abandoned place somewhere." our agent Alex told us after his meeting with Georgina

 

Last spring, Georgina had only about thirty dogs in her shelter, set up in an old farm. Like the association's main shelter, Georgina is facing a massive increase in the number of dogs in her care: she now has 53 dogs hosted.

All the dogs housed in her shelter will also have to face the food shortage in just a few days if no solution is found. 

"One can see clearly she is suffering for the dogs, is very distressed about not having food for them, and is constantly thinking of the dogs she left in some abandoned place somewhere." our agent Alex told us after his meeting with Georgina.

 

 

7. Both shelters offer very precarious accomodation, the freezing temperatures are already there, and will soon drop to -10°C: the dogs need food!

Panicked by the upcoming food shortage, overcrowding and extreme cold, volunteers no longer know where to turn, and are giving priority to dog adoption

 

###
To cope with the massive arrival of new dogs, other enclosures were created urgently on the site of the main shelter. Without a roof and with very little protection, dogs are not protected from the cold

 

###
The comfort provided at Georgina's shelter is barely higher, the dogs have to face winter in concrete pens, which isolate them from rain and wind, but not from the cold

 

At the time of writing, the temperature is only 0°C on the spot, and the worst is yet to come... Dogs need kibbles to be able to withstand the cold.

 

 

8. We want to help them survive the winter

###
Rescued from the pound, Maxi suffers from hyperactivity at the shelter, and needs to be kept in a totally enclosed pen with a roof for his safety

 

###
Blackie has also been rescued from impoundment has been living at the shelter for several months now, to avoid being euthanized

 

###
Orius is a shy dog, who remains marked by his stay at the Orastie pound from which he was taken out

 

###
Born with a deformity of the rear end, Chewie had been impounded without any care.... He manages to move despite his disability, with some difficulties

 

###
Thrown into the pound in 2018, Nella is one of the oldest residents of the shelter

 

###
Abandoned two months ago with her brothers and sisters, Meggie is still just a young puppy, who desperately needs kibbles to get over the winter

 

9. For the animals' sake, Maria fights against her own suffering

###
Involved in the LUPY association for nearly 10 years, Maria gives herself body and soul for the animals

 

###
She is supported on a daily basis by Manuela, Vice-President of the association

 

Maria's involvement in animal welfare started many years ago, and she has been president of the Lupy association for almost 10 years now. 

"In recent years, there has been a real burst of abandonment. Many animals sick, or in a critical situation due to accidents. Saving them has become a priority for me. I finally accepted the fact that some people don't like animals. But I have never understood how anyone could abandon a living being, entirely dependent, or that we could be violent towards the animals that belong to us or cross our path. "

Juggling between her career, personal life and volunteer work for years, she recently retired. To better invest herself in her volunteering, and return to another job almost immediately: an absolute necessity to meet the needs of the animals.

She admits that the suffering and sacrifices involved are huge, but has no doubt that they are worth it: "I suffer with them, but the joy they bring me largely makes up for this suffering, all our efforts and the sacrifices that must be made".

 

 

10. The plight of stray dogs in Romania

Maria and Georgina's shelters are located in the mid-western part of Romania
