In Romania, about 25km from Bucharest,
there is a small village called Glina. Here, in the middle of an open
area, there is a shelter, run by the sweetest, most dedicated people
with a heart of gold.
Over
240 dogs live at this shelter, also known as A Doua Sansa - A Second
Chance. A Doua Sansa's purpose is to spay, rescue and find real,
permanent homes for
these abandoned dogs, and to provide a better life for the ones that
live there.
About A Doua Sansa
The shelter's history started a few years ago, it began with a few dogs brought by several people, until the so called "shelter" was populated with a few hundred dogs. Unfortunately, many people who brought dogs into the shelter did not want to recognize this and have left them there. They were nobody's dogs!
Abandoned dogs in Glina were still being cared for by volunteers until one day when in 2009, the Animal Welfare Association - A Second Chance was founded. Today, Ioana Diaconu and Carmen Mandescu, together with amazing volunteers, care for these dogs. They are all neutered, vaccinated, given dry food and fresh water daily. Every weekend there are actions such as: paddock cleaning, reconditioning and isolation of dogs kennels. Pallets, meshes, nails, straws, bowls, toys - all come from donations. Sincere thanks to all those who think of Glina's shelter dogs and help them so they have a "shelter decent life".
Ioana and Carmen - the founders of the association fight daily for these dogs. Each day is a struggle for them and the dogs. Donations are few, and the needs are great.

Corina
Of these 240 dogs, there is an 8 year old lady named Corina. I fell in love with this girl the moment I saw her eyes... She looks like she's lived life, you know? Like the obstacles she's faced during her existence has been turned into power. A deep thankfulness to the dedicated humans that have cared for her - to the best of their abilities - throughout her life.

Unfortunately,
I haven't been lucky enough actually meet her, but someone who
volunteers at Glina told me her story and about her personality - and it
matches exactly with how I figured her to be :)

About Corina (as told by Adriana):
Corina
is 8-9 years old, vaccinated and spayed, very friendly, very sweet and gentle, playful, and she gets along well
with other dogs. She`s been living in the shelter for almost her whole
life :( , and she really deserves a good home for her last years. She's a
real sweetheart. We really want to find her a home!
Let's help her find a forever home!
