Hi,
In order to support animal'lovers from local community who decided 
to help a stray with health problems, the local veterinary office 
(we are exclusively working with) annonce that ROLDA will help each 
animal'lover from Galatzi who care a stray by supporting the costs 
for each stray'treatment.
In this way,hopefully we will encourage those citizens who don't 
have money but have compassion for homeless animals to help our 
furry friends in need of medical help!

Galatzi is a large industrial town from Romania,300 Km far from 
Bucharest,with an officially declared population of 10,000(ten 
thousands) stray dogs only in Galati,not to mention the very high 
number of strays from the counties close to Galatzi:Braila,Tulcea 
and Vrancea.. and our shelter is the only one on an area of few 
hundreds Km.As you can imagine,daily we try to help teens strays in 
need: hit by cars,beaten,with broken legs,skin diseases,infected 
injuries,...
We collaborate perfectly with a veterinary office from my 
town,runned by two very special peoples,who make "miracles" for all 
my furry babies in need,no matter how difficult the situation is!
They dedicate their time to help as much as possible strays from 
Galatzi and often lately,they help me without being paid because I 
have big financially difficulties from a while!
We never received funds (or any other help) for our government or 
local authorities/City Hall and all our staff is 100% volunteer.

It's very hard to "control" urgent cases of ill dogs from 10,000 
inocents and defendless souls with various problems and we daily 
face many difficulties and problems:
For ex.,one "problem" is dogfood:because of high cost of dry dogfood 
in Romania and because I cannot receive dry dogfood from outside 
Romania,according to romanian laws ,feeding even few hundreds dogs 
from 10,000 presently living on Galatzi'streets is a big 
challenge !!!
I'm very sad when I'm able to feed only few teens-hundreds(according 
to my budget)and see others are not enough lucky ...I would love to 
care ,feed and protect them all!!!Each romanian stray is very 
special,loving and incredible good companion ...each furry friend I 
care is unique and wonderful in its own way and my life would be 
simply empty without having my babies around!
Please know that each romanian stray must eat same quantity of food 
as any other dog,must be spoiled with dog toys and treats,biscuits 
because all my homeless dogs deserve better!

We need support to  continue our activity,we need also more resources
(veterinary items,financially resources to pay 
shelter'bills,vets'bills,to buy dogfood)in order to be able to take 
of more 10,000 strays from my town,at least to assure medical care 
for those very urgent situations we face daily!    
Our vets. badly need those items:
-Vaccines(polyvalent and each type)
-Antibiotic Ointments (Penicillin,Tetracycline)
-Antiseptics for wounds treatment
-Medicines for mange control
-Flea collars(for cats and dogs)
-INTERNAL and EXTERNAL DEPARASITATION PRODUCTS for dogs and cats
-SPECIAL BANDAGES FOR BROKEN BONES!!!  
-Esbilac or other puppymilk replacer
-Terramycin and/or other ophtalmologic ointment
-BANDAGES OF ANY TYPE
-Suplements nutritional(vitamins,...PET Tabs,...)
-Exam gloves
-Surgery/operation fields
-Any surgical item or functional vet. equipment you want to 
donate !!!

For our shelter,we need:Dog beds,blankets,towels,bowls for water and 
food,big plastic containers,dog and cats toys,desinfectant for 
kennels,cleaning solutions,coats for 
dogs,shampoos,brushes,clippers+blades,portable kennels,covered cat 
feeders,

This  new program,developped with our vets.'help will encourage 
persons from Galatzi with little financially possibilities but with 
golden heart to improuve general condition of dogs from 
Galatzi'streets and it will also encourage rehoming,adoptions of 
homeless animals!!!
Your help is more than ever needed and appreciated both by our vets. 
and our furry friends!!!!

Respectfully,
Dana
