Brave Agripina is a symbol of resilience at Speranta.
She was found in a terrible state in an area just outside Bucharest and, while we don’t know what happened to her, it’s clear she has experienced some trauma.
She is very scared of people but we are giving her everything she needs to trust again – time, patience and affection. She needs a sponsor to cover her food, medical costs and ongoing behavioural support.

Lives at: Speranța Shelter, Romania
Every dog at Speranța Shelter deserves food, warmth, medical care and love, whether they find a home next month or spend many more years with us.
Dogs like Agripina often wait the longest for a home. Whether or not Agripina ever finds a forever family, your sponsorship means they never go without.
Although your sponsorship is linked to Agripina, your donation also helps us care for every dog at Speranța Shelter. Together, we make sure no rescued dog is ever left without the essentials they need.
By sponsoring Agripina, you’re helping provide:
Press the button below to start sponsoring Agripina
Tell us a little about you, choose how much you'd like to give each month and for how long (minimum 3 months), then confirm with your first payment. After that, it's automatic, nothing more for you to do.
Once your sponsorship begins, we'll send you a welcome email followed by regular updates and photos, so you can see how Agripina is doing and the difference your support is making.
If you’d rather make a single contribution instead of sponsoring monthly, you can make an annual donation to support Agripina.
Your gift will help cover the cost of food, veterinary care, shelter and everything else they need throughout the year.
Unlike monthly sponsorship, this option does not include regular updates or a dedicated sponsorship relationship with Agripina. It’s simply another meaningful way to help provide the care they deserve.
Every year, thousands of dogs are abandoned on the streets of Romania.
Many eventually arrive at Speranța Shelter after suffering neglect, illness or abuse. While we work tirelessly to find every dog a loving home, some simply wait much longer than others.
Older dogs, dogs with disabilities, and those carrying emotional scars are often overlooked despite having so much love to give.
Sponsorship allows dogs like Agripina to receive everything they need for as long as they’re with us. It also helps us continue rescuing the next stray dog with nowhere else to go.
For more than 20 years, Speranța Shelter has been rescuing, treating and caring for abandoned dogs in Romania.
Today, more than 500 dogs rely on us every day for food, medical treatment, rehabilitation and a safe place to live while they wait for a forever home.
Every sponsorship helps us continue this work.
