Sponsor Maronică

Become Maronică's hero, even from afar

When we say we rescue dogs in traumatizing situations, we never mean just to get them out of those situations.

Dogs with various forms of post-traumatic stress are introduced to the Messengers of Hope training and desensitization program. This greatly increases their chances of adoption and some have even taken that step after working with Robert and Iulia.

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. Robert has taken the first steps in getting close to him and, with patience and love, will be able to make him a dog again.

Until then, it would help Maronica to be adopted from a distance.

How your sponsorship helps Maronică

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

Although your sponsorship is linked to Maronică, 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 Maronică, 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?

hearts icon

If you’d rather make a single contribution instead of sponsoring monthly, you can make a one-off donation to support Maronică.

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

Why dogs like Maronică 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 Maronică 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.
