Le strade della cittadina erano piene di cadaveri dei randagi avvelenati<\/strong> dagli operatori del Comune, cosa che stava avvenendo con modalit\u00e0 simili in tutto il paese. Il progetto inizialmente doveva essere portato avanti da una piccola associazione locale (Spike<\/em>), che avrebbe dovuto gestire la clinica e il rifugio gi\u00e0 parzialmente costruiti grazie alle donazioni raccolte in Italia. La struttura esiste ancora oggi e comprende una piccola clinica veterinaria di 160 mq con annesso un canile sanitario<\/strong> (capacit\u00e0 max: 130 animali) da cui transitano i cani in attesa di essere spostati al rifugio Footprints of Joy<\/a><\/u><\/em>. Inoltre \u00e8 presente un piccolo gattile<\/strong> con una ventina di ospiti.
\nRealizing that the Municipality was open to a constructive dialogue, Sara Turetta became the promoter of an agreement (May 2002)<\/strong>: an intense sterilization initiative sponsored through foreign funds in exchange for the life of the approximately 2,000 strays living on the streets, who would not have been killed.<\/p>\n
Resasi conto che si poteva instaurare un dialogo costruttivo<\/strong> con l\u2019Amministrazione Comunale, Sara Turetta si fece promotrice di <\/strong>un accordo (maggio 2002)<\/strong><\/strong>: a fronte di una intensa attivit\u00e0\u00a0di sterilizzazione finanziata con fondi stranieri, i circa 2.000 randagi presenti sulle strade non sarebbero pi\u00f9 stati uccisi.<\/p>
Di fronte al rifiuto da parte di Spike<\/em> di accettare regole ben precise, sia di tipo igienico sanitario che amministrativo, e con la minaccia da parte del Comune di riprendere le uccisioni, nell\u2019ottobre del 2002 Sara Turetta decise di lasciare il suo lavoro a Milano e si trasfer\u00ec a Cernavoda,<\/strong><\/strong> ripartendo da zero con un nuovo edificio da ristrutturare messo a disposizione dal Comune e rimanendo a vivere nella cittadina per oltre 3 anni.<\/p>
Lo staff \u00e8 composto da una media di 13 operatori assunti tra personale medico, operai, autisti e responsabili delle adozioni.<\/p>
