How You Can Support Animal Welfare

  • Why Your Involvement Matters
Animal welfare is not just a task for organizations – every individual can make a difference. The situation of stray dogs in Romania is dire, but we have the power to help ease their suffering and give them a dignified life. Your participation is crucial!

Ways to Get Involved

  • Donate

    Even a small donation can make a big difference. Organizations like "Romania Animal Rescue" and "Vier Pfoten" use your support to carry out spaying/neutering campaigns, provide medical care, and raise awareness. By donating, you directly help reduce the suffering of strays and support sustainable solutions.

  • Volunteer Work

    Interested in hands-on involvement? Volunteering is an invaluable help to animal welfare organizations and a rewarding experience for you. In Romania, there are various opportunities, such as working at SMEURA, the world’s largest animal shelter. Whether through the Federal Volunteer Service (BFD) or international volunteer projects – there are programs for all ages and skills.

    This work offers a unique opportunity to personally rescue animals and make a direct difference in their lives. At the same time, you gain invaluable experiences: the gratitude and love of the animals, the visible impact of your help, and personal growth through the challenges you encounter. The time you spend with the animals fills you with a deep sense of connection and compassion that lasts long after your efforts.

  • Adoption and Fostering

    Adopting a dog from a shelter is one of the most direct ways to help. By giving a stray a new home, you offer them a chance at a happy life. Even as a foster family, you can make a significant impact by providing a safe environment for dogs in need until they find their forever homes.

  • Education and Awareness

    Knowledge is power. Share information about the situation of stray dogs and the need for spaying/neutering programs. Educate your friends and family on why responsible pet ownership is vital. Through awareness, we create a mindset that can bring long-term change to society.

  • Support Spaying/Neutering Campaigns

    Spaying/neutering is the key to controlling the overpopulation of stray dogs. Donate to organizations that conduct spaying/neutering programs in Romania. Each surgery helps prevent the uncontrolled growth of the dog population and reduces the suffering of countless animals.

  • Political Engagement

    Advocate for animal welfare on a political level. Support petitions that promote better animal welfare laws and oppose mass killings in Romania. Contact political decision-makers and urge them to work toward humane solutions for the stray dog problem. Your voice counts!
Thanks to the support of dedicated people, "Romania Animal Rescue" has already spayed/neutered thousands of dogs, provided medical care, and placed animals in new families. These success stories show how important and effective your involvement can be. Together, we can achieve more!

Every action, no matter how small, counts. By getting involved, you help create a world where stray dogs no longer suffer. Let’s stand up for animal welfare together and give these dogs the chance at a better life.
