Morogan
Morogan is 8 years old and is just now learning what it means to be a dog.
He spent years locked in a dirty, cramped apartment, never taken outside, never socializing, never living.
Now, with small steps, he’s learning to trust. He’s shy, but curious. He’s hurt, but open.
Mam
Mam – rescued from the horror shelter in Târgu Jiu.
She’s been through hell, but she survived. Now she’s safe, but still waiting for a place to call “home.”
Matilda
Matilda is a mythical creature. Half small dog with short hair, half brown bear with curly fur. She’s over 8 years old and doesn’t care much for people—but she absolutely adores other dogs. Maybe she reminds you of someone… maybe even yourself. Maybe the two of you would get along just fine, a little grumpy, spending your days among (other) dogs.
Mama
She came to us from the hellish public shelter in Târgu Jiu – scared, exhausted, but with incredible strength: she had just given birth to her 8 newborn puppies. We rescued her and her babies, offering them a safe place to grow, be cared for, and prepared for a better life.
Mary
This is Mary. She’s 6 years old with fur as black as midnight, but a heart as bright as a summer day. She’s a little shy at first, but if you give her time, you’ll find a sweet, gentle companion who can melt your heart with just one look.
Dana
This is Dana. She’s 6 years old, with a curious look and a heart that still dares to hope.
She’s gentle, quiet, and always watching the world around her — just in case someone might see her.
She lives in a shelter where her dreams are simple: a full bowl, a peaceful corner, and most of all, a loving touch.
Gărgărița
Sing the Ladybug’s delight —
What could make her heart so light?
Being loved, no matter where,
Fed and fabulous, with flair!
Alma
Alma lived her life on a chain, in Chiajna. When the Animal Police visited her owner, he chose to get rid of her rather than sterilize her or allow her to live unchained.
Fericire
In our shelter, we have a wonderful little dog, rescued from the public horror shelter in Fetești. We named her Fericire (Happiness) because she is always full of life and joy. She’s an extraordinary little girl, and our dream is for her to have a loving family where she won’t grow old in a shelter.
Bucurie
We have a little girl in the shelter, rescued from the public horror shelter in Fetești. We named her Bucurie (Joy) because she is always happy. She’s a beautiful little dog, and we really hope she will be adopted physically. It would be a shame for her to grow old in the shelter.
Lucky
Lucky is a fluffy and handsome boy, full of energy and love. He deserves a happy life full of care, and you can help him! Through distance adoption, you can contribute monthly to his food, care, and comfort. Stand by Lucky and give him a chance for a wonderful future!
Purcica
Purcica is a small and playful puppy with yellow fur and one ear perked up, making her even more adorable. Even if you can’t take her home, you can sponsor her from a distance, contributing monthly to her care and food.
Pica
Pica is an adorable dog, full of gentleness and gratitude. She deserves a life without worries, and you can help her! Through distance adoption, you can contribute monthly to her food, care, and comfort, giving her a chance at a better life.
Dor
Dor, a gentle soul of 9 years, is battling severe spondylosis that affects his mobility. He urgently needs tests and treatment to avoid a difficult surgery.
Jazzy
Jazzy is a boy full of energy and humor, always ready to make everyone laugh with his jokes. He strolls around the shelter spreading smiles, and his latest joke was: “Do you know what the favorite song of our shelter neighborhood is? Rolling Stones – Gimme Shelter!”
Ama
Ama is a gentle and beautiful little girl who has been through a lot, yet she still has so much love to give. Rescued from a life of suffering, she is now safe in our shelter, but she dreams of more – of a soul to love her, even from a distance.
Bach
He has a name as beautiful as he is: Bach. We didn’t name him that because he composes memorable arias, but because we found him in the parking lot of Hornbach Militari.
Bella
Bella knows she’s special, and she acts like it! Elegant, refined, and… a bit picky, but can you blame her? A true diva deserves attention! She hasn’t found her perfect home yet, but maybe you can be her supporter through a long-distance adoption.
Sparrow
Sparrow is an adorable pup, full of courage and hope. While he doesn’t have a home yet, you can be his support through a long-distance adoption. With your help, he will receive food, care, and all the love he needs.
Bubu
Bubu has the looks of a purebred, but you shouldn’t believe everything you think you see. Not only does Bubu resemble a pedigree dog while actually being the most genuine and authentic stray, but he’s also something more.
Fifi
She is Fifi, a loving senior dog who still has so much to give! With her black fur and eyes full of hope, she is waiting for a kind soul to support her from a distance.
Patrocle
Patrocle is a loving and soulful little dog. In fact, saying that Patrocle is full of soul would be a huge understatement because the truth is, we don’t really understand how such a big soul can fit into such a small dog’s body.
Ely
Ely is a stunning 8-year-old male dog with a rich coat and an enviable shade of gray – a color many would pay a fortune for at a salon! Despite his natural elegance, Ely is still searching for his luck.
Cici Neagra
Cici is an 8-year-old dog with a shiny coat and an extremely gentle temperament. Although she is halfway through a dog’s life, she has yet to find happiness. She is loving and friendly, but despite her bravery, she has never had the chance to be part of a real home.
Haiduc
Haiduc is a young dog with a special look: black and white, like a chess board! Full of energy and love, Haiduc is dreaming of a family to spoil him. In the meantime, you can support him through long-distance adoption by helping him receive care, food and lots of attention.
Beguța
Although Beguța has arrived in our shelter, her dream is to live in a warm home with people who love her. Until then, she will find peace here, but we need your help to ensure the best conditions for her.
Sana
Sana is approaching the middle of her life and it would be unbelievable if in the second part of her life she would be offered a completely different life: from the loneliness and coldness of a shelter to the warmth and safety of a family.
Corbuța
The shepherd is a well-behaved dog and will sit in any position and do any operation as long as you promise to give her a gentle petting while you take care of her. She is super ready for adoption and would be a great dog for any home and family.
Cocuța
Cocuta feels she needs people, but is also afraid of them. She’s very gentle and friendly with acquaintances, but fearful of strangers. Her eyes and her whole body say to any passer-by, “Come here and give me that love!”, but when the person approaches, Cocuta crawls into the henhouse and looks at him like this. Without a sound, she just stares at him and thinks what if. What if there was more courage in the world. For her, more courage to approach people. For people, more courage to come closer to her for good and give her, in their family, that trust and warmth that Cocuta needs so much.
Bijou
Hello, my friend. I’m Bijou.
If you’re looking at me, I look like a classy, classy 2016 model (meaning I’m nine years old).
If you have the patience to let me tell you more about myself, you should know that I also have the temperament of a classic maidanez: I’m intelligent, resilient, easily adaptable to any conditions, I love food and I look for it everywhere.
Mateo
I’m Mateo and I’m always playing coy, until I get to the point where I trust others, at which point I climb right into their heads. Sometimes literally.
Maty
I’m Maty, I’m eight years old and I’ve been here since I opened my eyes.
I don’t trust people and could really use help.
If you can donate for me, the shelter could pay for me to spend some time with a trainer to teach me to trust people and maybe someday end up with a family. Please don’t forget me. Thank you so much.
Maia
Maia is 8 years old, playful and sociable. Very affectionate and cuddly. Maia sometimes races in the main hallway of the Shelter with her friends. Maia runs majestically, like an Arabian thoroughbred or a Disney animation.
Eva
Eva is 7 years old. She is very well-behaved and loving. Eva is the mommy heroine who ended up with 8 puppies in the shelter, having rescued each one when someone in a backyard dumped them all in a field, far from where they had been born.
Maronică
Pictured is Maronică. He grew up tormented, chained and isolated from the people he would have needed affection and socialization from. Now he’s very afraid of people, but he’s a warm and harmless little wimp, never bites.
Mișu
Mișu broke our hearts. We don’t know what happened to him in the public shelter in Târgu Jiu, but he is now in a deep depression.
He sits like this for hours, in the farthest corner of the paddock, with his head against a wall, like an ostrich.
Pămătuf
He came from Târgu Jiu. We called him Pămătuf, because he only has a tail wag, but one that he shakes bravely whenever he is noticed.
Emil
Emil comes from the shelter in Târgu Jiu and has definitely been beaten. He’s very scared, and when our employees are nearby, he freaks out. He’ll get into a corner and shake like jelly until it passes.
Emil will have his work cut out for him in the Messengers of Hope program and he needs your support.
Fănel
Fănel is the ugliest, but also the nicest dog from Târgu Jiu public shelter.
The only one with a real chance of being adopted on the spot. He’s a good, well-balanced dog who’s been through a lot and has fought and fought.
Eros
Eros, who came to us from the public shelter in Târgu Jiu, can’t believe he’s being petted. That people speak to him kindly and gently, that they care about him.
He’s a tall, handsome dog, almost addicted to affection. After all, he seems to have missed so much.
Țuța
That’s how Țuța is when she wants to break someone’s heart. Unfortunately, she has quite a few visitors at the shelter lately, so from her perspective, few hearts to break.
Lauda
She is about 4 years old and an incredibly good mom. What’s more, with her perfect gentleness and calm, she’s also a great friend to any human. Maybe even for you, if you decide you want to adopt a dog that is already an adult, i.e. already educated in many ways, already balanced.
Venus
We wish you a day like Venus’s day today. Venus had a good day. She ran, she sunbathed, she played in the water, she frolicked with dog friends and human friends, and the tongue sticking out of an elbow in the photo shows you, we think, that she experienced it all to the fullest.
Gina
Ea este Gina, mica noastră lupoaică. Este un câine ferm și alfa, dar drept și generos cu ”supușii” săi. Iar cu oamenii e minunată. Dacă aveți un câine alfa acasă, adică relativ agresiv cu alți câini și alte animale în general, încercați să nu-l judecați în termeni și morală umană și să-l iubiți la fel. […]
Leona
Leona, a slightly larger clump, like a ball of love and devotion.
Gerilă/Frami
Frami was brought from ASPA Bragadiru, where we wouldn’t say he was treated very well. He is very skittish, withdrawn and eager to be on his own.
Cluj
He is Cluj , he is 9 years old, and was brought by the Hope emergency team from Cluj.
Bobby
Bobby is 7 years old and is the kind of dog that used to hang out in front of the stairs with the gossipy and voluble tenants of the block.
Rafa
My name is Rafa from giraffe (I’m 2 years old), because I’m the only one of 8 long-legged brothers. As you can see in the picture, I don’t particularly like being tall. Those people who have been laughed at all their lives for being TOO tall, or at least taller than their peers, know what […]
Sârmă
Who wants a wire dog? Sârmosu is looking for a master. He loves walks on a leash, so it also helps our health, as the campaign says: “For a healthy life, exercise at least 30 minutes every day.” If YOU don’t take it home, at least give this a share?
Tudy
Tudy asks you to make an effort. If not for his sake, at least for yours. And he reminds you that a dog in the house or at least in the yard can do wonders against stress and bad emotional state in general. Especially as you get older, a dog reduces (according to studies) work-related […]
Piciu
When people call you Piciu (because that’s your name, even though you’re as big as a bear), you still try to save face as much as possible by running with small, timid steps.
Norocica
Norocica thinks she’s a boxer. No, not the breed of dog, but the profession. She boxes friendly, often using her front paws to cuddle or to ask for a little affection, much like a cat. She thinks she’s a cat even when she likes to snuggle in your lap on cooler early spring evenings. Lucky […]
Luna
Luna is about 8 years old. She spent most of them on the street, somewhere in Pantelimon neighbourhood, with two friends with whom she formed a pack. The other two friends died and Luna was left alone. Out of grief and longing, perhaps, she began to bark loudly and even growl at certain upset citizens. […]
Lăbuș
Poor Lăbuș was mistreated and confiscated by the police, then brought to us. Unfortunately we had to amputate one of his legs because of the trauma he had suffered earlier. But on cool, sunny May afternoons, you sometimes find that one less leg means more sun-warmed belly area and one more reason to laze around […]
Hera
Hera, the half-breed Amstaf who came to us torn apart by a pack of other strong dogs kept in unsuitable conditions, has made amazing progress. When she came to us, her whole body was a living wound. But even worse, emotionally she was a wreck. In the two years since then, Hera has transformed into […]
Fox
You know that expression “that’s why the fox has no tail”? We sometimes say around the shelter that it doesn’t have a tail because Fox stole it. Fox is 8 years old and is a confident, people-loving male. He’s quiet, curious and always proud of his bushy, stately tail, which he wears up high. He’s […]
Fiță
Fiță competes daily in the “Saddest Eyes in the Shelter” contest. Fiță is a handsome and fluffy 6 year old male, very sociable and friendly, who would very much like a family of his own. If you could adopt Fiță yourself, you could win a competition too. The one for ‘the Magician who turns the […]
Bobiță
Bobiță is a small, funny Pekingese mix who would be much better off in a family than in the shelter, where he shares his paddock with many more dogs than he would like.
Bimbo
Bimbo is a special dog, full of love and hope. She deserves a life without worries, and through distance adoption, you can help her receive the food, care, and attention she needs.
Blondina
A shy, come-hither puppy. She looks photogenic, doesn’t she? Well, she actually looks about three times better in person. Come to the shelter and meet her!
Mozaic
Age: 7 months. Character: reticent, quite scary with people. But he entered the “Messengers of Hope” training program. He gets along very well with other dogs. The right owner: patient, gentle, already has at least one dog at home.
Steluța
Steluța, shy and well-behaved, is only a few months old. She’s grown into a proud puppy. She has the head of a Pitbull, the body of a Beagle and the soul of a Pekingese. You’ll be able to rest your head on her pink belly on many a cold night from now on. You’ll sleep […]
