Many of these dogs are already five years at the shelter after being rescued from certain death, either from the local killing pound or from the streets.

Year after year these poor souls become older and their needs increase.

A part of them have been lucky to find a home abroad thanks to our international adoption program but not all have this chance.

For them, we try to offer an easier winter. Sometimes, in the winter period the temperatures drop below 20 degrees.

We need your help! You can support us with useful stuff or donations for winter time like:

•blankets, towels

•winter equipment for employees

•food (because of the cold weather, the dogs need much more food than usual, if they don’t have enough level of proteins, they can’t survive)

•vet bills and medicines (in this period are more health problems)

•hose, shovels and other tools for snow

•dog houses with thermal insulation (especially for the older dogs)

Thank you!

The association “Prietenii Nostri” was officially founded in 2005 to give an answer to the tragic emergency that affects stray dogs in Romania:  a strayness completely out of control and hundreds of thousands of dogs exterminated every year by the authorities in a climate of total indifference.

________________________________

on a personal note: i found my girl, bobby, from Prietenii Nostri. for 225 euros, she was flown from Romania to The Netherlands, had all her shots, and was neutered. and let me tell you, bobby is a lovely girl… and full of fun. We love her and she makes the house alive!

Gratiela Ristea, founder of the shelter, not only rescues, cares and advocates for dogs, but she works in her Romanian city with kids and dogs, bringing these two perfect creatures together. The kids learn to care for the dogs. They feed them, brush them, walk and play with them. And the dogs give the kids empathy and love.

In truth, Gratieal is an advocate for all creatures.

So please, if you have just a few dollars, please consider sending it her way. $10 feeds one dog for a year.
