My Nonprofit Reviews

This organization began with nothing but a vision less than 20 years ago. That vision, along with a corps of dedicated veterinary staff, donors and volunteers has contributed to a reduction in the number of stray animals in Romania by spaying and neutering as many as possible; over 100,000 to date. While pursuing this goal RAR was able to build a state of the art veterinary clinic and is now working on an addition to be dedicated solely to spay/neuter. There is also an educational component for school children, training in spay/neuter surgeries for veterinarians and a Homeless Animal Hospital for injured or sick animals. The services are free to the animals and their owners (if any), and the people served are learning that it is okay to care for and be kind to animals. I believe that RAR is changing the way animals are treated in Romania as well as reducing the population of unwanted animals. In my opinion, this charity is the best ever.

Following a church trip to Romania I became aware of the devastating plight of the Romanian street dogs. Divine Providence led me to RAR, and I have been involved almost from the "ground up." Financially this charity is above reproach. The president/CEO, veterinary staff and volunteers are among the most caring and talented individuals I have ever had the privilege of working with. The focus of the group's work is free spay neuter as the only way to stop animal overpopulation. However, other services under the RAR/ASNI umbrella are veterinary training, homeless animal hospital and education. Donors can be assured that their hard-earned funds are used only for the betterment of the Romanian animals.
