Greetings Friends,
In this report I would like to show you some of the field work we do. Not everyone has the means to be able to get to a veterinary clinic to help their four legged friends. Our outreach program goes to them.
Through a number of colleagues as well as our staff, along with using our mobile Spay Shuttle and Hope Ambulance, Romania Animal Rescue is able to reach souls in need of veterinary care, spay/neuter, vaccines, emergency care and so on. Greeting the community with compassion changes the mindset of the animal guardians, those who often are ashamed that they cannot provide veterinary care for their animals but wish to. We treat them and their animals with the respect and understanding that is so important in education.....good people need to be appreciated for what they do.
Our goal of "Establishing Animal Welfare in the Country of Romania" is a multi faceted task. And we are up to it, with your help.
We've now distributed over 25,000 educational books and brochures throughout Romania and hope to do even more. Our Veterinary Director Dr. Aurelian Stefan has appeared on numerous television interviews in Romania, stressing the need for more spays/neuters, more adoptions of the lovely Romanian animals, and the reality of the horrific public shelters.
You see, the public is generally mislead by the authorities into believing that the public shelters, funded by tax money, are good places for dogs....nothing could be further from the truth. They are complete misery for dogs...... full of diseases, starvation, and massive abuse. We are working hard to get this truth out to the public, encouraging them to adopt and sterilize their animals to stop this hideous corruption. We certainly have our work cut out for us, but with continued support we can do miracles. With now over 125,000 spays and neuters under our belt in Romania ( a place I was told was impossible to work in back in 2003 when I started RAR), miracles are already happening.
Thank you for your ongoing support. It means the world to the animals.
