What the team from the SUST Orphan Animal Hospital Moreni experienced in March is told by OAH Manager Anda in her own words:

"Nothing, absolutely nothing in 20 years of animal welfare work prepares you for such a terrible case of animal abuse... A man who works as an emergency medical technician often visits a remote area near Moreni, a popular spot where people abandon dogs to distribute food. When he was there recently, suddenly this poor dog emerged from behind some trees. His sight shocked even the paramedic, who is used to a lot due to his job. We were also shocked and wondered what sad fate this dog had endured. Apart from the terrible condition of his right front leg, we found the thinnest creature we had ever seen under all the matted, dirty, and thorn-covered fur. He was so starved that he ate his deworming tablets as if they were beef. ...We had such great hope for a "Happy End" - unfortunately, he didn't make it, and we had to release him after a few days. But thanks to your help, we could try everything, shower him with affection in his final days, and ultimately spare him a longer ordeal. Thank you for the support that makes a big difference in the lives of orphaned, forgotten animals in Romania!"

Thank you for your ongoing commitment!
