70 dogs from private shelter in Dambovita county,Romania needs your help

This is the true story of a wonderful lady from Romania and the dogs and other animals she saved! This story begins almost 15 years ago, when Mrs Bogza bought land and built a small cottage where she decided to bring her dogs from the mountain to have them near Bucharest. It was to be a quiet place where family could enjoy the countryside for weekends and holidays. Bogza kindly helped a lady look

ing for a place where to house 200 dogs saved from streets by renting her a land helping with fencing. Bogza travelled from Bucharest to Butimanu, she saw many abandoned dogs and cats. She couldn’t just drive by the old and sick, or the young puppies and kittens in danger. So she started to build paddocks also on her land. In 2013 the Romanian government started to kill the strays in barbaric way the strays who’s only fault was to be abandoned. In time, Mrs.Bogza had saved nearly 400 dogs. Early attempts to adopt out animals were problematic, and Mrs. Bogza heard bad misinformation on sending dogs abroad. For almost 8 years, Mrs.Bogza cared and fed over 400 dogs without asking a penny !!! She spent all her family savings to pay the workers from this shelter and a smaller shelter she created in Bucharest, buying food and paying vet care for all the animals she saved, registering, spaying/neutering and vaccinated all the dogs from shelter without asking for help! She also created the SEMPER FIDELIS DOMUS , a non profit association. Targeted in an estate battle over her late husband's estate, Mrs. Bogza was in a desperate situation. Little by little, help came. The smaller shelter was taken on by wonderful friends from Lippstadter Pfotenhilfe Germany, so 70 dogs and 40 cats were saved! (These friends still share their food donations with the Butimanu shelter and help care for special needs dogs). The main shelter in Butimanu struggled on. Then came help: Supporters from the U.K. found adopters for many dogs. Three dogs even went to Sweden! Some financial support came from the U.S. And then some miracles from Germany: A pair of dynamic women started arranging transfers to Germany shelters which could find dogs. And then a woman representing an organization in Germany not only helped place dogs, but began renting paddocks in Butimanu for its own rescue efforts! Thanks to all these efforts, the dogs at Butimanu now number only 120! But even with all this support, more is needed. The money coming in does not entirely cover the cost of food, workers and utilities. The paddocks are becoming old and need costly repairs. Just last year, an epidemic of heartworm overtook the shelter, requiring significant funds to test and treat. Most of all, our remaining dogs need sponsors and donors. As more adoptable dogs leave, the ones that are left are the old, the special needs, the ones who are so understandably still afraid of humans. We are so close to finding a happy ending for the Buimantu dogs. Won't you help? PLEASE HELP MRS.BOGZA FIND A HAPPY ENDING FOR THE BUTIMANU DOGS!!! ANYTHING YOU CAN SPARE WILL BRING US CLOSER TO THIS GOAL!!!
