Follow Sara on social mediaIn 2001, after years of voluntary work in various kennels in Milan, Sara decided to devote herself full-time to the desperate condition of Romanian strays, a situation which she herself had discovered during an upsetting summer trip in August of the same year. At that time Sara was working in a prestigious advertising agency. In 2002 she left her job in order to manage the newly born sterilization project in Cernavoda, which if left in the hands of local Romanian associations would have failed for certain. Since then Sara has been splitting her life between Italy and Romania, managing the headquarters in Milan and lobbying at an international level.Prizes and awards 2012 Donne, Pace e Ambiente “Wangaari Mathai” Award – Associazione A Sud, Italy2012 Cavaliere dell\u2019Ordine della Stella d\u2019Italia – Presidenza della Repubblica, Italy2015 Christian Marsh Award – WSPA, UK2016 Jeanne Marchig Award – The Jeanne Marchig Trust, UK (read more).2017 Clarissa Baldwin International Award for Excellence in Animal Welfare – Dogs Trust, UK2022 Margherita d\u2019Argento – Gattile di Trieste, Italy2024 Italian Fundraising Award (2024) – Ferrovie dello Stato Italiane, Italy2024 Social Commitment and Civic Innovation Award – magazine CARIERE, Romania2025 Excellence Award for Commitment to […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":57,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-987521824","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"yoast_head":"\n
