The team led by OAH-Bucharest veterinarian Dr. Irina Corbu-Rudnic, aside from the "normal daily clinic routine," is also on the road with the mobile SUST clinic, often over weekends, traveling through the rural areas of Romania to carry out spaying and neutering campaigns.

In these regions, there are hardly any veterinarians—and if there are, residents cannot afford a "regular" spaying or neutering. Spaying and neutering—and the educational efforts surrounding it—are the only sustainable ways to reduce animal suffering in the long term. By offering free spaying and neutering, not only can the cycle of unwanted young animals be broken, but it also alleviates the burden on overcrowded animal shelters and reduces health problems in animals. Together with ongoing educational efforts, the SUST spaying and neutering campaigns promote a culture of responsible pet ownership and show people how they can take responsibility for the well-being of their four-legged companions.

Thanks to your generous support, 1,554 animals were spayed or neutered in these campaigns from January to March 2024. Because the numbers are so impressive, here they are in detail: Pecineaga 254, Otopeni 319, Racari 101, Moreni 123, Jilava 208, Snagov January 248, Snagov February 69, Berceni 144, and 88 in Colpani.
