Romania Animal Rescue met Mr. Vasile Cenac in 2004. Mr. Cenac is a very kind man, who runs one of the city shelters in Galati. His shelter is a no-kill, enforced by him (unless the animals are suffering and need to be humanely euthanized). He works tirelessly to defend his dogs the right to simply live. He cares for them as if they were his children.
In 2007, the group that was providing food for Mr. Cenac simply stopped doing so, and 250 dogs were left to starve. Mr. Cenac contacted Nancy Janes from the Romania Animal Rescue for help. We could hardly help at all, but were able to contract to provide scraps of food from slaughter factories, thanks to our donors. The cost of purchasing dog food was prohibitive for our very low income. This was simply a bandage on a wound, and another solution needed to be found.
Recently the tables have turned for the worse for Mr. Cenac and his shelter. The shelter's land is more valuable now, and the city wants the dogs out. They have told Mr. Cenac he must leave as well. On top of this, a woman whom the city had hired to work at the shelter was subsequently fired, and took revenge by breaking into the shelter and killing a handicapped dog, and stealing many things. Whether due to this tragedy or fate, Mr. Cenac ended up in the hospital with his heart condition. His wife looked after the shelter as best she could. Thanks to Romania Animal Rescue donations, we have been able to hire a worker for the shelter.
Romania Animal Rescue and Stichting Wereld Asielen have decided to work together to purchase land and build a shelter for the 250 dogs of Mr. Cenac's. RAR will try to purchase the land, and Stichting Wereld Asielen will build and maintain the shelter and supply the food and other costs for the dogs. This task we are undertaking is huge, but I know it is the right thing to do. Thanks to our plea in July's newsletter, some funds from our donors have been raised towards the cost of the land.
Rory and Nancy Janes are donating $2000 to the cost for the land purchase, and would like to ask you if you can help as well, either with a matching donation or whatever you can afford. The remaining cost for the land is now approximately $13,000.
Thank you for reading this plea for help. I know this comes at a very hard time financially for all of us. I hope you can help us to  |
