The representatives of an English association came to the Dog Shelter in Triaj to help boarding the dogs who will be adopted by English families. One of these dogs is a traumatized one which has been scaled with boiled water.
6 dogs have already been boarded to Hungary where they will be tested and made all the necessary analysis. From here they will go directly to their owners in UK.
“We were approached by the “Houser Bears” Association to come and help reintegrating the dogs into families. We are talking about injured and traumatized dogs who will be taken over by nice families” (TJ Wiccaweys – Rescued Border Collies and Sheepdogs Association).
“I just came here in Romania with my friends to help saving these dogs. There are so many dogs here, more than I expected to find and we all should try to help them.” (Ellena – Rescued Border Collies and Sheepdogs Association).
From the 700 dogs living at the Dog Shelter in Triaj (Brasov) and protected by the “Millions of Friends” Association, only 42 of them will be taken to families inUK.
“Our partners from England, the “Hauser Bears” Association has contacted several associations in the UK who are willing to help us taking over some of these dogs. But the biggest help they are offering to us, is working on their behavior because most of these dogs have been abused”. (Cristina Lapis – President of the “Millions of Friends” Association)
The story of one of these traumatized dogs is shocking.
“As this dog was burned with boiled water, he obviously lost his faith in people and we couldn’t even touch him when he came to the shelter. We were desperate, because we couldn’t go inside his cage to clean up the place, he was afraid of the broom, he was afraid of everything.” (Cristina Lapis – President of the “Millions of Friends” Association)
Now that the winter is coming, the dogs need extra care. As their fur is not enough to keep them worm during the winter, the team which is taking care of the dogs, have to put cartons on the floor of the cages. The “Millions of Friends” Association calls on all the animal lovers of Brasov to bring food and cartons to the Dog Shelter.
