The cold, harsh, unforgiving winter grabs Romania again.

"If you survive in the streets of Romania, you can survive anywhere."

The coldness of winter and the heat of summer are the two most difficult times for animals and animal lovers in Romania. Once again they are struggling with the relentless cold to keep animals alive. These are also the times when these amazing people need our help more than ever.

Asociatia ADOR, based in Botosani, sent out a desperate call for help on their facebook page today;
"Please please help us feed the dogs...we receive so small amounts for food and we are unable to feed all dogs properly....Christmas is coming for them also, but is finding them in cold, wind, snow and hungry.. please, make a small Christmas present to our dogs....the most needed thing is food! We only raised 260 dollars from the 3000 dollars we need to pay the food suppliers...please don't abandon us in this very hard times for us and the dogs!"

 

ADOR also does it's best to help the dogs at the Botosani Public Shelter, a typical Romanian public shelter where no dog should ever have to live - or die.

For more information on how to help ADOR and the Botosani dogs, please visit ADOR's facebook page http://www.facebook.com/AsociatiaAdor

ADOR also has a chip-in for the dogfood they so desperately need: http://asocoatiaador.chipin.com/food-for-our-dogs-december

ADOR isn't the only one struggling day in and day out to help animals survive the winter. Many romanian associations and animal lovers face the same exhausting battle. I will post more links and info in the days to come.

DOGS POISONED IN SUCEAVA, ROMANIA! 4-5.10.2012

"Images of horror on the streets in the center of Suceava. Most dogs lay dead on the sidewalk last night and some were dying in pain.

People blame the local authorities and say the animals were poisoned. Hall rejects the accusations, while those from the Sanitary-Veterinary say they can not do analysis to find the cause of death because the corpses disappeared overnight.

Among the victims were dogs with masters, who had been taken out for a walk and, after eating something off the floor, died in agony.

Representatives Hall reported that none of their subordination has spread poison on the street.

Most of the Sanitary-Veterinary say they can not be accused of anything without evidence. Dogs who died Wednesday night disappeared.

Most of the city's sanitation companies announced however that they did not raise corpses. Worse is that it's not the first time, in Suceava, poisoned dogs die on the streets."
