Update from Germany

Adopting Romanian dogs through Germany is working successfully. Sonja has been fostering dogs as they get adopted. Her house is a little bit more quiet because six more puppies have now found nice homes. Bozo and Penny found a nice family. On Monday, March 30, seven more have been adopted by a very lovely family.

Rocco

	Dear Nancy, Look what I have just found...His name is Rocco, and he is 4 years old. He was found and rescued in an supermarket parking area in Bucharest. One of his legs was pulled out of his hip and the other one leg was broken in many parts, shot by 3 small shots and very infected. In other words, a molested dog. A vet and an orthopedist surgeon accomplished what was almost impossible to do: In a very difficult operation the dog's shot leg was saved. In about 2 or 3 weeks, Rocco can use his leg, so the poor dog will have 3 legs instead of 2 legs had it not been saved by the doctor and vet. Now he lives in a vet's consulting room and it would be better if a family from Germany will adopt him. Love, Sincerely, Livia

Spayathon

On March 14 and 15, Romania Animal Rescue and Laura Pontini from Italy sponsored a Spayathon in Popesti, about 35 miles north of Bucharest. There was an unexpectedly great turnout for the event. A steady stream of people lined up between 8:30 AM to 11:00 PM to get their dogs and cats spayed or neutered. Some waited in line for a couple of hours, as Dr. Aurelian and his assistant prepared the animls for their procedures.

The locals took notice of the event and asked when the next one would occur. Already 34 people have placed their names on a list to have their animals sterilized. On Monday, a man showed up at the shelter asking to have his two cats sterilized.

Dr. Aurelian said most of the females were either in heat or were pregnant. Children from Animals Lovers Club showed their support by taking dogs for a walk before their operations and covering the animals with blankets after operations.

With each event, the people in Romania are noticing a difference on the streets and in their lives. There are fewer animals roaming the towns where we hold these sterilization events. Animal activism is educating the people that today's medical procedures are helping their beloved animals live longer, healthier lives. The media is reflecting this change by reporting on these events. This past weekend Realitatea TV and Prima TV showed up to report on our activities.

The things that were possible because of the generosity of the donors, the stretcher, the kurunda dog bed, the spay/neuter, it is all because of wonderful and incredible people who have it in their hearts to help these animals that they have never met.
