Dear
Friends! Today we did a lot of things for our doggies, this could it be
possible only with Your help and concern for them! We brought the food
what we bought yesterday, We brought straw, we change the wet straw and
they were extremely happy. We managed to
obtain wood from a good friend of us as donation. We have to heat the
water for them it is freezing very quickly. The winter is so hard...
snow everywhere... it was so difficult to bring the straw it was 90 km
to get there and back to the shelter but the struggle worth... look at
their happy faces! Thank You who made these possible! With respect,
Dora.

The shelter in the middle of nowhere - the story of the unseen tears
We are 3
ladies from Turda Romania, Transylvania region who established a dog shelter on
the property of a local rich family. We began this activity in 2009 with 25
dogs. But because of the mass abandoning and the cruelty of people, old and
sick dogs put on streets, hit by cars with severe injuries, we ended up with a
number of more than 200 dogs in the year 2013. In March 2013 the family thrown
us out from the property. We had to move the dogs in 10 days. In this critical
situation we managed to give for adoption several dogs, but we had to find a
place for the 200 what remains.
Nobody wanted
to help us, the local authorities and the police were hunting us, because they
influenced the family to throw us out from their property. We managed to find
this former communist farm in a village at 15 km from Turda, called Viisoara, a
farm which is almost demolished, but even here we have to pay a huge sum as a
rent: 200 Euro/ month. This is a huge sum of money for us, and we do not get
help from the governmental funds, only donations, lately very few indeed. I
have borrowed money from all my friends, from a bank, I have been spending a
huge part of my teacher s salary for the shelter purposes, because I can not
bear to see them starving and of course when they need medical help not to call
the vet. And they all want money from us, no vet is helping us as volunteer!
We reached a very critical and extremely
difficult situation If we do not pay the rent, the owner will throw us out from
the place and I can not feed the dogs without help because I can not borrow
anymore, nobody gives me other money, not even my friends, because they know I
can not give them back spending all my money and time on the shelter! Here the
local authorities are hunting us too, they do not want us there, even if we are
far enough from people s home, 1 km, they put pressure on the owner to throw us
out.
So many
problems and I feel so weak and tired... after teaching at school 4 days per
week I go helping in the shelter, physical work, feeding, cleaning, because I
do not have enough money to pay enough persons to work for the doggies. When I
am not in the shelter I am trying to get some help for them... I do not sleep
during nights because of the problems we have... my family hates me because I
destroyed everything in our home, not paying the bills, I gathered 8 stray dogs
and 13 cats in our house... I really do not know how this story will end but
that is very clear for me that alone, with so little help I can not go
further... but if I say it was enough the shelter and the doggies will
disappear in a short time, left to suffer in pain, or taken by the public
shelter PTS or worse let to die in starvation.
You can say
there are other more important problems in the earth, hundreds of people and
children starving and dying every moment on different parts of our planet
because of social and political injustice, but I chose to speak for these creatures without words and tears, who do feel
sorrow, pain and joy, You just have to look deeply in their eyes. I put my
whole life on this cause. Beginning with the year 2009 I am working hard not
only to keep alive the shelter dogs but to convince the local authorities, the
politicians that killing is not an option, only registering the dogs with
owners, the neuter and castration is the unique way to spare the endless
suffering of these unwanted creatures.
Our world is
full with the unseen tears of these noble creatures who do not have words to cry
for themselves, most of them do not even give a sound when they suffer
enormously and die in the deepest silence of the world! Can we change the
world? Can I, a weak and tired woman full of the dirt and the misery of the
shelter, with hands of a field worker of the Middle Ages, tired to death by
physical work, dare to change the world? Can I maintain my dignity as a woman,
as a teacher, as a former school manager who 5 years ago established a
Hungarian minority school in Turda throwing everything what I had and learned for to serve the cause of some unwanted and poor creatures which worth nothing
in the eyes of the most people from my country, Romania, country of suffer and
shadows?
Stay still a
few moments please and look in the eyes of the dogs of the shelter from the
middle of nowhere… You can feel You can
taste the unseen salty tears of all the Romanian stray dogs … and then answer
please my questions.

Multumim Ziarul Douazeci Si Unu pentru ajutor , in problema cainilor comunitari de la adapostul din Viisoara (judetul Cluj) !!!!
Cine sunt, de fapt, aceşti 200 de câini?
Cei 200 de câini sunt câinii pe care nu-i mai vedem noi pe străzi, câinii comunitari care, în alte oraşe, au creeat atâtea probleme şi disconfort cetăţenilor, iar spre binele nostru, al comunităţii din cele două municipii vecine, Turda şi Câmpia Turzii, dar şi al comunelor limitrofe, acest disconfort este redus la minim şi datorită asociaţiilor de voluntari din cele două municipii, una dintre ele fiind Amicii Noştri..."
