Our new ambition is to completely renovate the 6+ years old dog kennels, this is estimated to 60,000 USD.

Thanks to a local company,we are hopeful to receive a grant to cover 70% from the veterinary clinic costs,but we need to raise the rest which is almost 100,000 USD.It is a huge amount of money and a very ambitious project for our resources but it will means a new future to Romanian animals and people with low-income which care for them.
