Radu's dog shelter in Cluj, Romania
Donation protected
I was born and raised in Romania and over the years I had my fair share of warm tears watching the pain, abuse and suffering of stray dogs in Bucharest. I will always remember the dark and cold winter nights when together with my husband, we would take as much food as we could carry and search the streets for hungry and freezing dogs, the year when we had in our backyard 10 dogs, out of which 6 puppies, and 18 cats that we fed and provided medical care to restore their health so we can find good homes for them…
Years passed and the number of stray dogs all over Romania increased. The horrible dog massacre that took place in 2013 was the government cheap and heartless way to get rid of unwanted animals. People do not spay or neuter their pets and thousand of animals are abandoned and left to die a horrible death in public shelters, hit by cars of tortured and killed by monsters who think this is the only way to deal with those who cannot protect themselves.
Radu Termure is one of the many wonderful Romanians who are fighting the good fight to save these poor souls. He is the sole caretaker for over 950 dogs in Cluj! The little video you are watching was done in Jan 2017 and shows Radu, his dogs and volunteers on the current location of the shelter. The shelter is now located inside an old farm house with decripit buildings most of them with no roofs, and there is no water, electricity or gas available. The owners of the farm have decided to give a new use to the old buildings so Radu and his friends must leave by the end of April 2017... In this extreme situation we need help to acquire a piece of land of min 5 ha near Cluj (the cost of the land would be ~50,000 euros). On this land we can build a new shelter where dogs can have a better life until they find a forever home. Radu saved hundreds of dogs and cats from death, neutered, spayed and provided veterinary treatments for sick animals out of his own pocket and only some occasional donations in the past few years. Radu sacrificed his life and all his life savings for the love of animals and he and his furry friends need our help to survive!
Please support this project, over 950 souls deserve a second chance!

"When I needed a hand I found your paw..."
Will Radu's dogs find many hands when they are in such desperate need for help?! I truly hope so!
Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
