1. In Romania, Luminita is running out of kibble to feed the 126 puppies under her care. If no one takes action, they will starve to death!
"Before the pandemic I used to get some leftovers from restaurants. Now that restaurants are closed, there is no food left to give away. I even had some donations every now and then but now, people have no money so... I don’t get any donations.
Abandonments on the other hand, have known no crisis. People don't sterilize their dogs, and continue to abandon the puppies. The number of puppies abandoned has increased massively, whether it be in the woods, fields, near trash cans or even in front of the shelter's doors...
Ever since I started rescuing dogs in 2009, now is probably the first time I have more puppies than adult dogs... The terrible thing is, I only have a few cans of food left for them. Some of them are already sick... If I don't find food, they won't survive much longer...I feel desperate, I panic just thinking about what might happen to them."
2. Several puppies have already died in the last few weeks. Malnourished, they are vulnerable to diseases, many others will succumb without kibble.
"Unfortunately, we have cases of parvovirus and lyme disease among the puppies at the shelter. Of course, I tried to isolate the ones with parvovirus, but the virus hit so strong this time that some puppies didn't make it... I've lost 4 of them in the past few weeks and 8 of them are currently at the vet's office, fighting for their lives.
With the virus running around, any prolonged lack of food will have disastrous consequences. Puppies will get sick and who knows how many more will die...I don’t feel good about what is going on because I love them all, and I genuinely do all I can to help them.
My only wish is for them to get better, and eventually find them a loving home. But before this can happen, I desperatly need to find some food. All our efforts otherwise, will be for nothing..."
3. At only 4 months old, Capucino has already been affected by several diseases. Without enough food, she will not fully recover!
"Capucino is 4-month-old female whom we've been taking care of for around 2 months. When she came to us, Capucino had parvovirus and lyme disease. I was convinced she would not make it.
She is doing better now but is still fragile, and in case of a total food shortage, would be completely unable to fight for her food. She needs enough food to make it. "
4. With more and more puppies in her care and insufficient donations, Luminita can no longer afford to buy kibble!
"People have lost their jobs and have no money to donate. My adoptions have dropped as well, I used to send around 20 dogs per month for adoptions abroad, but now, despite the help of a foreign association in that regard, I can barely send 12-13.
With 126 puppies to take care of currently, food is running out extremely fast, and I can't buy any more... Even though I ask for donations on social media or to friends, I am not getting much. I am already in debt, I can't make it on my own.
Another one of my concerns is that if I ever get sick, I have no idea how the shelter will survive... We definitely need some exterior help to overcome this rough patch and make sure our puppies are safe."
5. Luminita isn't asking for money, only kibble to prevent her dogs from starving!
"I started this association in 2009 with a few dogs placed at friends' houses who had some space in their yard to host a few dogs. When the dogs got more and more, I started building a shelter. I now have 65 adult dogs and 126 puppies to take care of altogether.
I spend all my time here, I feed the dogs, give them their meds, take them to the vet, spend time at the vet’s feeding them, take care of the adoptions, I look for fundings... I am very sensitive to these animals' fate and even though it's difficult, I just cannot leave them on the streets, knowing that if I don't pick them up, the dogcatchers will take them to the pound, where they will be euthanized... I just can't.
Our actions are very important in that sense because around here, there aren't many people who love animals like we do..."
6. If this campaign succeeds, Luminita will not receive any money but 1800 kg of junior kibble, delivered from Animal Webaction's logistic platform in Romania.
Animal Webaction has a logistic platform in Romania, which allows us to intervene quickly and deliver kibbles.
7. The rescues never stop and Luminita's budget is deeply impacted. She needs help to feed all the rescued puppies!
"There are constantly more and more puppies being abandoned. I received a call a few days ago about 2 puppies, another about 9 puppies and their mother... It just never stops.
We absolutely need the help of other animal lovers because without the help of people like us, these dogs will be euthanized. The local authorities do not care about animals, and do not have any respect either for the people who are indeed trying to help them."
8. Actions launched on Animal Webaction often fail.

When a campaign fails, Animal Webaction cannot deliver the products. The organizer doesn't receive anything and the buyers are refunded.
9. In Romania, it is difficult to find funds for kibbles, there are no aid, no grants, no foundation... Many abandoned dogs die alone in the streets, in complete indifference...
