1. The association and its mission
The association was born to give an answer to the plight of stray dogs in Romania, hundreds of
thousands of animals destroyed each year in a context of an endemic stray dogs phenomenon. Save the
Dogs aims to promote in Romania a culture that recognizes to animals (especially companion animals
and equines) a number of inalienable rights. We believe that the society has the responsibility of
protection towards animals, both connected to the objective value of the single individual, as being able
to suffer and to have feelings, and to the positive and irreplaceable role of animals within the human
society.
Save the Dogs aims to fight against the stray dogs phenomenon in Romania through an integrated
approach, following the guide lines of ICAM (International Companion Animal Management) that
include:
Qualified veterinarian activities on the territory, in collaboration with local authorities, in favor
of the dog, feline and equine population and - indirectly - of the local human population;
Educational activities, volunteer and awareness raising campaigns that encourage the reflection
on the correct ratio between men and animals and promote compassionate and responsible
attitudes of the citizens, particularly of the youngsters;
Activities of identification and registration of the dog population to prevent dropouts and to
encourage a proper management of pets through the empowerment of the owners;
Activities of lobbying and advocacy to improve local, national and international laws and
regulations related to animal management in Romania.
2. 2014 Mission Report in short
While 2013 was a year of consolidation for Save the Dogs and other Animals (see also newsletter Save
year 2, nr. 3) 2014 was a year of records: record in the Mobile Clinic’s activity in the countryside around
Cernavoda and Medgidia, record in the number of donkeys assisted thanks to our home assistance
program, record in the number of dogs registered in the newborn national canine registry RECS
(National Registry for Dogs Evidence). Moreover we can state to have created a large geographical “no
kill” area confirmed by written agreements, which extends from Cernavoda to the sea and the airport in
Constanta, passing through Medgidia, Mircea Voda, the CNE Nuclear Plant in Cernavoda and the
cement factory La Farge in Medgidia.
A good year then, although if it started with the application of the new law on the management of
strays (the 258/2013) which effectively prevents the associations to apply the recognized method of
canine population management Trap Neuter and Release. The law – which provides the killing of the
dogs after 14 days after their entrance in the public kennels – make it difficult for Save the Dogs to
SAVE THE DOGS AND OTHER ANIMALS

manage its own shelters because of the limited space and the big number of animals entering the
facilities, which cannot be released anymore.
The association has tried to cope with these new constraints introduced by the legislation through an
increase of the programs for the sterilization and identification of owned dogs, focusing alongside on
the surrounding rural areas, where abandonments and abuses are more frequent because of the
extremely underdeveloped social context.
Unfortunately the political scene remains quite discouraging, not only because it shows no signs of an
approaching revision of the law but also because of the total lack of dialogue with the associations. In
fact at the end of 2014 the President of the National Veterinary Authority (with whom we had begun a
fruitful dialogue) has resigned and has not yet been substituted, while the Animal Police Department
established within ANSVSA soon after the approval of the law never really operated and risks - on the
contrary - to be dismantled. The hope is that a revision of the law may soon start.

The growth of sterilizations this year is due in large part to the performance of the Mobile Clinic in 25 villages
around the cities of Cernavoda and Medgidia, a project partly funded by WAP (World Animal Protection) and
partly by private Italian and foreign donors. The program, with the agreement of the local Municipalities,
allowed to perform 816 sterilizations of dogs and cats and 657 identifications of owned dogs in poor villages
in the Romanian countryside.
These are the results of the activity of the Mobile Clinic carried out by Save the Dogs:

On the 31st of December 2014 in our three shelters we were hosting 628 dogs and 52 cats, all accurately
assisted by our vets.

Cats in Medgidia 11
We highlight the importance offered to our cats both through internal protocols for the feline management
and the construction of a new cattery in Medgidia - thanks to the donations of private Italians and the support
of the European partners of Save the Dogs - and through the partial reconstruction of the cattery in Cernavoda.
All this had the purpose to offer the best conditions to the cats we welcome in our facilities.
The adoptions have continued to be supported by our European partners and by the work of STD Italy, in a
consistent albeit slightly smaller number than in 2013: the trend remains negative in recent years, but the hope
is that in 2015 the number of animals welcomed by foreign families may increase.

Out of the 573 adoptions made, 71 refer to dogs (and one cat) from the association STAAD of Neptun that Save
the Dogs has been supporting for several years. The local adoptions (39 dogs and 20 cats, against 31 and 6 of
the previous year) have grown following the campaigns promoting the adoptions carried out this year in the
cities where STD operates through posters placed in public places and promotion in schools.

In 2014 Save the Dogs has devoted special efforts - thanks to specific collaborations with the Veterinary Clinic
Filosvet in Medgidia directed by Dr. Alina Vasile and the Municipalities of Medgidia and Cernavoda – to the
identification (and sterilization) of owned dogs. These are in fact the dogs that are often being abandoned in
our centers or on the streets and that ought to be sterilized in order to correctly and efficiently implement an
integrated dog population policy, as suggested by organizations such as ICAM. Moreover since the 1st of
January 2015, as a result of the aforementioned Law 258/2013, the identification of owned dogs through
microchips, their registration in RECS (National Registry for Dogs Evidence) and their sterilization are
mandatory, the sole positive aspects introduced by the law.
Save the Dogs had anticipated the law by launching in 2013 in Medgidia the first program for the canine
identification in the whole Romania. The dogs had been registered in a private software open to the vet
authorities and now they are being progressively reported in RECS. The identification program was extended in
2014 also in Cernavoda and for both cities we managed to convince the Municipalities to grant at least the
purchase of the microchips.
These are the results in both cities:
Dogs identified in Medgidia through the door-to-door program 2013 644
Dogs identified in Medgidia through the door-to-door program 2014 578
Dogs identified in the area with the Mobile Clinic in 2014 657
Dogs identified in Cernavoda through the door-to-door program 2014 394
TOTAL dogs identified in Cernavoda and Medgidia 2273

3.2. The project for the protection of equines
The project for the protection of equines in the region of Constanta has grown even more in 2014. The
outreach activities - the home assistance performed by our vets - intensified and include a general inspection
of the state of health of the donkeys, the dental examination, the cleaning of the hooves, the support to the
owners and the monitoring of any cases of mistreatment. The activity started at the end of April and ended by
the half of November and allowed us to reach 87 donkeys (13 more if compared to the 74 in 2013) and 85
horses, mostly concentrated in the Roma neighborhood Ali Baba, the poorest district of Medgidia. 10 horses
were included in the special program Home Package sponsored by our new partner Austria Animal Care. The
program consists in specific assistance (3 visits per year), material supply (ex. brushes, blankets, halters) and
extra food and vitamins to some of the horses present in the barracks of Ali Baba, in particular to improve their
quality of life during the harsh Romanian winter.
Thanks to the consolidation in the last three years of the home assistance activities, the number of abused or
abandoned donkeys has been decreasing: this year only four new donkeys entered our shelter Footprints of
Joy, to whom we add Punk, an old horse saved from slaughter, who died during the year.
Below the detailed numbers of the equine project 2014:
Horses present at FOJ 10
Donkeys present at FOJ 61

After three years It’s Donkey time! project at Don Orione Centre in Bucharest got to an end. In 2014 60
children benefited from a specific pet therapy within the center, each for a total of 8 hours of donkey assisted
riding therapy in several sessions. The end of the project is due to organizational problems of Don Orione,
which did not give us sufficient guarantees of a proper management of the donkeys involved in pet therapy
activities.
After the ending of the collaboration with the orphanage in the capital Save the Dogs’ donkey assisted riding
therapy project has, however, doubled: a new program was launched in Cernavoda (at the request of the
Municipality) thanks to a targeted funding and a second one has been set in Bradet, a village near Brasov in
Transylvania. In Cernavoda the pilot project in 2014 allowed five children with disabilities to take advantage of
8 sessions of riding therapy each, assisted by a skilled kineto-therapist. This represents an important goal for
these families, if considered that in Cernavoda people are still reluctant to show in public a disabled child. The
results - verified after each pet therapy session by a municipal responsible of social services on children - were
surprising and the benefits for the children were evident, particularly in psycho-emotional terms. The pilot
project will be followed in 2015 by a more extensive program of activities for 20 children funded by the
Foundation Paideia from Torino.
Regarding Bradet, an orphanage run by the Provincial Council of Brasov, we were specifically asked - given the
success of the experience at the Don Orione Centre - to introduce donkey assisted riding therapy practices in
the facility for the benefit of the approximately 100 children hosted, many of which suffering from autism and
other disabilities. Two donkeys were then transferred from Footprints of Joy to Bradet, where a well-defined
project will start next May. Meanwhile in 2014 a barn and a large fence were built and the operators involved
in the project benefited from traineeships, while the children have already had the chance to enjoy the
pleasant company of the two donkeys.

3.3. The educational project
Save the Dogs’ educational project reached 2,444 pupils from 6 to 11 years old from January to June 2014 (in
2013 it reached 2,635 pupils). The lessons, two hours per month, were held in 10 schools (7 in Medgidia and 3
in Cernavoda) involving about 120 classes and 150 teachers. About 700 children (there were 400 in 2013) came
on a visit to Footprints of Joy during the “Saptamana altfel”, the week dedicated to alternative activities in the
Romanian curriculum.
Furthermore, the project also contemplated the organization of parallel events to encourage the respect
towards dogs and the other animals that Save the Dogs assists. Among these we mention the exhibition of
paintings “Since we love dogs” in Medgidia with the participation of the deputy mayor of Medgidia and a
hundred of children with their families and the raising awareness action carried out by Save the Dogs’ staff on
the 5th of December in the occasion of the International Day of the Volunteering at Nicolae Balcescu High-
school in Medgidia.
We also point out the organization of the Footprints of Joy party in Cernavoda on the 4th of October, in the
occasion of the World Animals’ Day, with the presence of the Mobile Clinic for identification and free
registration in the canine register, guided tours to the
shelter and the competition that rewarded the best
dog / best owner. In this occasion we also enjoyed
the presence of two Romanian VIPs: Mihai Traistariu
and Mircea Solcanu.
Finally, the specific project of traineeship in
collaboration with the Prison of Poarta Alba
continued successfully. 5 new inmates have followed
once a week a training and volunteer project in our
center of Medgidia, obtaining 3 months later a dog
trainer qualification. The project will start again
shortly involving five more inmates.

4. Quantitative and economic indicators
This section shows the figures of the association as a whole in order to provide a clear idea of the quantitative
work and the structure of STD in Romania.
Save the Dogs has grown in recent years in terms of staff, consultants,
minimum wages (increased according to the law also in January 2015),
training for veterinarians and staff on occupational safety. This turned into
an increase in current expenditure on staff, but it also meant the creation
of a more solid, secure and functional structure than the previous one. We
worked a lot on Occupational Safety and Health: the inspectors ITM
(Territorial Labor Inspectorate) did not notice any irregularities and did not
produce any “useful recommendations”, a quite unique event in the
Province of Constanta.
The local and foreign volunteers continue to play an important role for STD. It’s about
people who annually visit our facilities to socialize with our dogs and help during the
events organized by STD together with the citizens and the local schools. In 2014 88
volunteers from all over Europe (they were 80 in 2013) have devoted at least a couple of
days of work to STD: a crucial help for the association!

On the one hand in 2014 incomes registered a growth of 2% in response to specific campaigns made by the association in 2013 and 2014. Also the funds deriving from the American Horses on Death Row in support of the project dedicated to equines registered an increase. On the other hand the local donations diminished in response to the decision to divert many people searching for assistance in Save the Dogs’ centers to the Vet Clinic Filosvet in Medgidia, directed by Dr. Alina Vasile. Te be mentioned also the specific funding of WAP in support of the mobile clinic’s activities. The foreign sponsorship program is going on well with three more projects funded in 2015: the educational project (WAP), the Mobile Clinic (funded by Dogs Trust) and the donkey assisted riding therapy project in Cernavoda (the Italian Foundation Paideia).
1 A clarification is that income and expenses here calculated in Euros with an annual arbitrary change were derived from expenses and revenues in RON, Euros, Dollars and British Pounds. Therefore the figures are to be considered similar to reality, but not corresponding to the calculations carried out officially in RON. The tables are to be considered a financial statement in favor of the members of STD Romania. 2 Donations from our American partner Horses on Death Row. 3 Mobile Clinic project co financed by WAP (World Animal Protection).

After the consolidation of the expenses in 2013, in 2014 the costs related to the project activities of the
association increased again. Apart from the staff (in 2014 we had up to 53 employees), the more relevant
increase in the expenses was registered in the management of dogs and cats in Cernavoda, due to the change
of the suppliers of food and deworming products for dogs (the choice fell on higher quality products), the
increase of tests on dogs and cats as well as the increase in the number of animals hosted and the necessary
fixing of the old cattery. The decrease of expenses for adoptions is instead due to the decrease of the number
of adoptions in 2014. All the other expenses are in line with the past.
The educational and the donkey assisted riding therapy projects confirm to require little financial effort,
although they appear always more relevant.
Investments include:
i) the purchase of a new 4 * 4 car for the director in order to face both the harsh winter weeks in Romania and
the emergencies
II) the purchase of a new vehicle for the transportation of dogs in Medgidia
III ) the construction of a new cattery in Medgidia
IV) the buying of breakthrough technical veterinarian material for our centers (ultrasound portable systems, a
new device for blood analysis, a new operating table, a pulse oximeter in Medgidia etc.).
All the administrative and accounting activities have been verified by an accountant from Bucharest, who
offered regular assistance to the staff in Cernavoda. In addition, the 2014 budget has been audited.
About 92% percent of the costs have covered the activities for the projects of the association in favor of
animals and for the education in the schools, while only 8% has been used to cover administrative costs.8

5. Governance and management of STD Romania
STD Romania is a Romanian registered association whose sovereign body is represented by the Assembly of the Members. The Assembly nominates a Board and, within it, a President, a vice president and a treasurer. The Assembly annually reviews the decisions of the Board, which convenes one or more times during the year, and of the President. The professional structure is defined according to the following organizational chart:
Assembly of the Members Board
President Director- General
Dogs Project Cernavoda General administration and accountancy
Dogs Project Medgidia Planning and development
Project Mobile Clinic Communication and PR
Horses & Donkeys Project
International Adoptions
Educational Project
Pet-therapy Project
The members play a political role while the professional structure plays a technical and operational role. The members are in fact responsible through the Board for the strategic planning and for setting the goals and the economic and social constraints to be respected. The professional structure seeks to reach these goals and at the same time checks the social constraints. All members of the Board are elected by the members and none of them receive a compensation for their work. Within the professional structure the Director-General is responsible for the economic balance of the association, for the control of the achievement of the goals and of the constraints imposed by the Board, as well as for the planning in collaboration with the Board. The central government is responsible for the achievement of the certification of the budget, while the project coordinators are in charge of the goals set for the proper achievement of the mission.
