Sponsor Aka

Become Aka's hero, even from afar

I’m Aka and life hasn’t been kind to me and neither have the people in it. I’m 13 and I’ve never loved anyone. I’m withdrawn and scared, and I carry the trauma of 10 lifetimes, not one. I don’t need to go into them right now, especially since, I don’t know if you know, traumatized souls have great trouble being communicative and direct. How could they not, when so many people have hurt them?

Frankly, I don’t know if there’s anything more I can ask you to do for me right now. I’m at the end of my life, and I’m afraid I’ll never know what it’s like to trust someone. So please at least listen to my message, because I say it from the bottom of my heart and with great sadness: do not abandon uncommunicative people or dogs, those who are clearly suffering and who clearly cannot open up, those whose behavior has been reshaped by trauma. We all know that they can be unbearable at times, but they too need what we need: connection and finding a way around all those walls between us.

How your sponsorship helps Aka

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 Aka often wait the longest for a home. Whether or not Aka ever finds a forever family, your sponsorship means they never go without.

Although your sponsorship is linked to Aka, 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 Aka, you’re helping provide:

  • Nutritious meals every day
  • Veterinary care, including check-ups, medication and treatment whenever needed
  • A safe place to live, with warm shelter during Romania's cold winters
  • Exercise, enrichment and companionship to keep them healthy and happy
  • Special care, rehabilitation or mobility support if their condition requires it

Prefer to make a one-off gift?

If you’d rather make a single contribution instead of sponsoring monthly, you can make an annual donation to support Aka.

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 Aka. It’s simply another meaningful way to help provide the care they deserve.

Why dogs like Aka need sponsors

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 Aka 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.
