My Nonprofit Reviews

We had an amazing experience with Romania Animal Rescue, and we can't thank them enough for the kindness and support they showed us and two stray dogs while we were on vacation in Romania. Their incredible work goes beyond just rescuing animals; they truly go the extra mile to ensure every animal gets the help they need.

While staying in Romania, we found a stray dog near our cabin and wanted to help, but weren't sure how. Bringing a dog to Belgium requires proper vaccinations, health checks, and paperwork. We reached out to Romania Animal Rescue, and Nancy Janes, the CEO, responded swiftly. She offered to cover all the vaccinations, paperwork, and health needs for the dog if we were willing to foster it. Her efficiency and willingness to help were heartwarming.

The plan was to take the dog, which we named Gypsy, to their Center of Hope Veterinary Hospital in Piteasca, where their team would take care of everything. They even partnered with another charity, Le Woef, to arrange transportation to the Netherlands, where we would pick up Gypsy and foster him until he found his forever home.

In a twist of fate, the day before we were set to take Gypsy to the hospital, we found an abandoned puppy while motorcycling—a tiny pup we named Biker. She was just a few months old and clearly wouldn't survive on her own. We reached out to Nancy again, hoping she could help us switch plans. She was incredibly understanding and made arrangements for Biker instead, seeing that the puppy needed immediate help. The next day, we brought Biker to the Center of Hope, where Dr. Aurelian Stefan and the team welcomed her (Biker) with open arms.

In the last (rainy) days of our vacation, Gypsy was getting more and more attached to us, and we realized we couldn't leave him behind either. We contacted Nancy one more time, despite it being late at night, asking if we could still bring Gypsy in. Nancy got in touch with Dr. Stefan. They made it happen, and we were able to bring him to the hospital the next day.

Gypsy and Biker both received top-notch care at the Center of Hope. We were updated with pictures, videos, and progress reports, and it was clear how much the staff genuinely cared for their wellbeing. Eventually, both dogs made their way to the Netherlands. By the time we would pick up Biker, Le Woef had already found a family for her, so we only needed to foster Gypsy. Gypsy is still looking for a home.

Nancy, Dr. Stefan, and the entire team at Romania Animal Rescue and the Center of Hope have hearts of gold. They work tirelessly to save countless animals, running large spay/neuter campaigns, educating communities, and providing much-needed medical care—all funded through donations. Their dedication is truly inspiring, and their compassion made all the difference for Gypsy, Biker, and for us as well.

Please consider supporting this incredible organization. Romania Animal Rescue changes lives—both for the animals they save and the people they help. The animals of Romania will be forever grateful for your support!
