Our association don’t usually give dogs abroad, but starting with 2007, , some of our shelter dogs were adopted in Finland. Almost all the new owners came here before making the adoption. We gave our dogs in the belief that they will have a better life there that we could ever offer them. Recently photos show us that they are happy now, surrounded with love and care.

We do not ask any money for giving dogs to new familly, no charge or fee as others may think, the owner  cover only the vet costs ( like vaccination, microchip and passport). We do not sell dogs, we just help them have a better life with new and loving owners.

KIKI – adopted in November 2008

TINA – adopted in September 2008

ELODIA – adopted in June 2008

UNA – adopted in May 2008

 MUTZA and MORKO – adopted in March 2008

GRIA AND KLENKKA – adopted in September 2007
We saved Gria from the municipality cathers’s van. She was about to be killed but we found that van and saved all the dogs inside, who were very frightened, full of vomit and excrements. We saved Klenkka from a city nearby. He was wandering the streets, having a big skin problem, with no hair on his body and also a leg problem, limping all the time.
  

After a period o good care and attention, Gria and Klenkka recovered. One of our finnish visitors, Ms. Heli, was charmed by them both and decided to offer them a home. So, Heli, did a second visit to our shelter and took them to Finland. Saying good bye it wasn’t easy, but we believed in their chance for a better life.

Since September, they are in a loving home in Finland, where cold and the sad street life from Romania, are just a bad dream.
  

SURDA, TASHA and RONNY – adopted in 2007 and 2008

Surda was saved from the municipality’s catchers in 2002. She was about to be killed but we found her and took her into the shelter. At the beginning she didnt like to stay in the shelter and she was jumping over the fence, lay down in front of the shelter or stay up on the kennels. It didnt pas too much time and we realized that she was completely deaf, that’s why she was more alone then playing with the other dogs. In the last year, she became very alone and didnt go out too much of her cage, althought she had the possibility. As it is very hard to find an owner who would like to take a deaf and not very young dog, she was about to stay with us until the end of her days but luckly, Mrs. Kiia Vasko, decided to offer her a home back in FInland. We were very happy for her, as she would really deserve a better life. In September 2007 Kiia took her out of the shelter and Surda was a completely changed dog, she was playful, happy and we couldnt recognize her anymore. At the hotel, she slept in bed, looking very amazed but content at everything that surrounded her. The flight was well, and once arriving at her new home, she found a new friend, Bugsy – also rescued from an estonian shelter – and she ……..

Tasha is about 5 years old.We rescued her from a city near, called Carbunesti, in 2004, where the mayor was catching dogs, keeping them into a so called shelter without water or food and afterwards they were violently killed, even threw in a well alive. We found out about this tragedy, went there and after many meetings with the mayor, we saved Tasha and her friends from the municipal shelter. She was between the lucky ones, being saved just before going to be killed. She had to undergo an eye surgery, but she recovered quickly and she was an adorable dog, she loved to take her into our arms and she was kissing her all over our face, to show us her gratitude for being saved and for all we did for her.

 Luckly, Mrs. Kiia Vasko, decided to offer them a home back in FInland. We were very happy for them both, as they would really deserve a better life. In 2007, Kiia took them out of the shelter and Surda was a completely changed dog, she was playful, happy and we couldnt recognize her anymore. At the hotel, she slept in bed, looking very amazed but content at everything that surrounded her. The same with Tasha. The flight was well, and once arriving at their new home, they found new friends, Bugsy – also rescued from an estonian shelter – and Ronja.

Both Surda and Tasha are more then lucky dogs ,as they couldn’t ever find more loving and kind family.

"They both are adorable and so lovely personalities. At this moment I "work" sitting on our bed and all four dogs are sleeping around me. I had to came to home to work, because there is some repairings in our office and too much noise. And at home our bed is the only place big enough where we all can be close to each other.Tasha still sleeps every night between me and Jukka. Surda sleeps in other room but at five o’clock she comes to bedroom and jumps to our bed and woke us up. Both like snow, but especially Surda loves to go for walks outside and jump like a rabbit on snow. Tasha and Bugsy are best friends and they play and run every day inside and outside. Surda and Tasha loves to be close to us and be petted. Tasha has loved kisses from the beginning but nowadays also Surda loves to be kissed and hugged tightly. Usually dogs are always near us where ever we are at home.We have tried to take photos but somehow Surda still is afraid of camera and runs away always when she sees camera and we have only photos of her back and tail. Tasha watches also TV and when she sees men in television she starts to snarl. Yesterday I was reading one economical magazine and Tasha was in my armpit and on one page there was a big photo of a face of one man and when Tasha see that photo she started to sneef the photo and were very alarmed. I do not know if she has bad memories of some men so she is careful with them. But Tasha loves Jukka and Jukka’s son Teemu..." Kiia 

THEY ARE OUR LUCKY DOGS

We know that besides medical care, animals need love and affection, this being one of the strongest medicines sometimes, especially for those dogs who once had an owner who just dumped them when seeing they got sick. Not only the phisical suffering bring them down, but also the suffering of being rejected by the owner they were so attached.  After treating them we neutered them also. We are extremely happy for being able to provide them the needed care for a period and for finding them responsible and caring owners.

Lucky was abandoned at the shelter, probably because he had a skin problem, his skin disease covering almost his entire body, having only small parts of hair. We did our best for him, good treatment and food. He had a very strong personality and was suffering a lot for being left. After a time, Lucky gain weight,made a beautiful hair and we found him an owner and the home he deserved. He together with his owner came to the shelter in a visit, by car.

Pamela - Someone brought Pamela to us, after finding her in a very bad condition, having a big wound on her head. She was very skinny and sad. We took care of her as we knew best, treating her everyday. After a while, she started to feel better, she gain weight ,the wound dissapeared completely and was the "jewel" of the shelter. We neutered her and luckly, we succeeded to find her a great home and a loving familly. ……………..

Rick , was abandoned by a teacher, woman who was pretending to be an animal lover. When she brought him to the shelter,he was very very skinny,sick and with a big wound on the upper side of his neck. Fortunately, after we treated him, he recovered well, put some weight and we also found him a an owner.

Mathilda – We found Mathilda in December 2004, very skinny, weak and sick. After several months of intense care she put a lot of weight on, became more confident and she started to feel much better. Luckly, after only several months we succeeded to find him an owner. In the adoption day, she felt that she is going to leave the shelter with hours before, she was extremely sad and when the new owner came with the car, she hidded in her cage. But, finally she went out with us and met her new owners with whom she left at her new home.

The familly – Bellow is the Family, as we called it. One evening, we found them abandoned tied with a rope on the fence of the shelter. There were two females with 8 puppies. For more then a month we took good care of them,until one day when a man with his family came and take the mother with the puppies promising to find home for the rest of the puppies.
