Until some year ago, these two diseases were not present in the area of Romania in which we work. Specifically, heart worm disease appeared just a few years ago and the threat of Leishmania is even more recent and the budget for the prevention has lifted unexpectedly.<\/p>\n
In order to protect the dogs from those diseases that threaten their health, Save the Dogs<\/em> decided to have an integrated approach. We will give to all the dogs a specific collar<\/strong> and an antiparasitic medicine<\/strong>; also we will reduce the presence of mosquitos<\/strong> in the areas dedicated to our dogs through specific US machines, worth about 2.500 Euros, that will ensure the protection against parasite and are an investment for the future.<\/p>\n We calculated that protect a dog from heart worm disease and Leishmania with this strategy costs 50 Euros per dog<\/strong>, a number that multiplied for the 500 guests in our shelter, equals an expense of 25.000 Euros<\/strong>. It is a really big expense for Save the Dogs, especially in a moment so challenging for the association!<\/p>\n This is why a generous donor decided to offer us a very valuable help: until the 31st<\/sup> of May he will double all the donations we will receive for the prevention of Leishmania and heart worm disease creating the campaign \u201cYour love is worth the double\u201d.<\/p>\n Two weeks since the beginning of this charity \u201crace\u201d we can affirm that the mechanism worked and to this moment* we raised almost 6.000 Euros! It is a great result, but in order to reach the goal we need all of our friends.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_cta admin_label=”Call-To-Action” title=”Help us to run this race, a competition in which the winners will be our dogs and their health!” button_url=”https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=V2UXXM792ZPYG” url_new_window=”on” button_text=”Donate now” use_background_color=”on” background_color=”#ff551d” background_layout=”dark” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” custom_button=”off” button_letter_spacing=”0″ button_use_icon=”default” button_icon_placement=”right” button_on_hover=”on” button_letter_spacing_hover=”0″] [\/et_pb_cta][et_pb_text admin_label=”Testo” background_layout=”light” text_orientation=”left” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n *Until 28th<\/sup> of April<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Spring is a delicate time for our beloved dogs because their health is threatened by two severe diseases, spread by some parasites: heart worm disease and Leishmania.
