About this project
With around 50,000 inhabitants, Zalău is not a small town in the north of Romania. At the moment, we are the only organisation that is active in the whole of Sălaj County and supports the local animal welfare workers. We try to regularly take the dogs out of the killing centre and place them in a private shelter. We feed them there and provide them with medical care. And we look for a nice home for the dogs so that they can travel.
This is because a placed dog from the private shelter in Zalău frees up space for a dog that can move up from the killing centre. Therefore, the placement in Zalău is very important. With one placement, 2 animals are saved.
Before our collaboration, the Romanian colleagues were completely on their own to pay for food, accommodation and medical care and the only option was local placement. There was no way out.
Unfortunately, we do not own the private Zalău shelter. We pay for the accommodation, cleaning and feeding (of our food) per dog, per month. Nevertheless, we have been continuously improving the conditions on site for the dogs since 2019.
We currently have a major problem with food storage. Large quantities of food have to be stored nearby so that the 80 or so dogs can be adequately fed every day. Unfortunately, the current storage area - a discarded caravan - does not offer enough space or security against mice and rats. There is a real plague of mice and our helper Calin is in great need to constantly plug holes and find new solutions.
We therefore urgently need a container with windows and doors that can be placed on the premises. A large amount of food, treats, but also all the necessary items such as leads, harnesses, combs, blankets or toys for the dogs could be stored there. Important donations would be safely stored there. But another use would also be a small mum and puppy corner, where small families could be accommodated, especially in the icy winter, until they are vaccinated and fit enough for everyday shelter life.
Please help us so that we can continue to help the dogs and the helpers in Zalău to carry out their great and valuable work, thank you!
