It was one of the many appeals on FB, but this time STD was so close to the reported case that we could not close our eyes.
On a Bucharest animal welfare association call, that had been contacted by a Roamanian lady, we were asked to help an undernourished dog, that had been thrown in a wretched yard in a village between Cernavoda and Costanza together with her puppies.
The dog – medium size, friendly and loving – let us take her without fighting and she was transferred to our Medgidia shelter, in spite of the chronic overcrowding that is unfortunately constant in our structure.
After a few weeks, here are the pictures of Marina (this is the way she has been renamed), that has 2 big meals a day and has already gained a healthier look. As soon as possible Marina will be part of DogRescue adoption program, one of the two STD Swedish partners.

After the winter pause our mobile clinic missions start again in the province of Costanza, even thought they will be carried out only in the warmer days.
Last week Alina and her staff went back to the Black Sea, near Mangalia, where the situation is very serious. Here, thanks to the help of a Romanian girl who runs a small marina, tens of families are vaccinating their farmyard animals free, while lots of small dogs are included – after a stalemate – in the Save the Dogs international adoption program. Unfortunately the dramatic cases (as the black dog in the picture, that unfortunately could not make it) are a lot and we would like to increase our motor home activities during 2011, if our funds will allow us to, to vaccinate as many animals as possible and to cure the injured or ill ones, that are going to die in the streets.
To support the Save the Dogs mobile clinic activities it is possible to donate through our bank accounts, specifying in the cause line “Mobile Clinic”.

Another dramatic case along the streets of the town of Costanza, spotted by the president of Save the Dogs returning from a work mission with the mobile clinic on the coast of the Black Sea.
In a forest along the National road, the stray in the photo wandered desperately in search of food, visibly sick and malnourished. The attempt to capture her was unsuccessful at the time, the mobile clinic had to go back repeatedly and find the poor animal, despite the long distance from Medgidia. In the end the staff captured her and looked after her in our veterinary clinic, but a few days after the stray died – the clinical picture showed damage from malnutrition and an advanced mange.
In this case, like in many hundreds more, Save the Dogs has to be satisfied with accompanying the dog in its last days, taking it away from the streets and helping it before its death. This is also a way to restore dignity to animals who have never been treated with dignity.
Whoever wants to support Save the Dogs’s first aid activities, can do so through the usual form of donation.
