Ilu is only seven months old. At his age, a puppy should have only three worries: sleeping, eating, and playing. He should be chasing butterflies, discovering the world, and enjoying every single day. Sadly, life had other plans for Ilu. He was hit by a car, and in a single moment, the joy of play turned into pain, fear, and helplessness. His hind legs stopped responding, and the little puppy who had been running around carefree the day before suddenly found himself unable to stand. You can see the confusion in his eyes. He doesn’t understand why this happened to him. He doesn’t understand why he can no longer do the things every puppy should be able to do. The good news is that there is hope. The medical examinations we have already carried out show that Ilu has a real chance of recovery. But that chance depends on the surgery he urgently needs. For Ilu, this operation is his chance to walk again. His chance to run. His chance to play. His chance to have the puppyhood that the accident almost took away from him. We want to give him that chance. But we cannot do it without your help. The cost of the surgery and the care he will need afterwards is more than we can cover on our own. That is why we are turning to you—the people who have already changed the lives of so many animals in need. Your donation will go directly towards the operation that could change Ilu’s life. Help us give him this chance. Donate for Ilu and help him get his puppyhood back! What does Speranța Shelter do? The Speranța Shelter Foundation was founded in 1996 by Florina Tomescu and, since its inception, has contributed decisively to the welfare of animals in Romania, especially abandoned and suffering dogs. On the night of 18.04.2001, the staff of the Speranța Foundation, together with the Vier Pfoten Romania team, rescued 300 dogs from the city hall shelters, dogs that would otherwise have fallen victim to the new euthanasia law. It was a real act of mass rescue at a terrible time for both animals and animal lovers. The dogs at Speranța were rescued from the streets or from various life-threatening situations. Our shelter is home to about 500 dogs. Of these, 7 are paraplegics (they receive special care and are moved around with the help of prams) and about 200 are seniors, i.e. over 12 years old. We have a lot of older dogs in the shelter, but we are constantly trying to find families for them. The Speranța Foundation is working hard to find adopters for the dogs in the shelter, including offering the possibility of distance adoption. Speranța Foundation is constantly organising events to promote adoptions and to raise awareness of the responsibility we all have towards animals. Every year, the team from Speranța Shelter conducts sterilization programs for dogs and cats with owners, a pro bono project for those interested. How will Speranța Shelter spend the money it gets from donations? Speranța Shelter relies entirely on private donations to care for its more than 500 dogs each year and to fund all of its programs. The shelter's monthly maintenance costs amount to more than €30,000. In addition to maintenance expenses, we continually need financial support to improve the living conditions of the dogs by providing them with a clean, safe and loving environment. The shelter has been constantly upgraded, the paddocks have been rebuilt to be more comfortable and welcoming for their residents, 4 playgrounds have been created for the dogs, the 2 medical clinics have been equipped with state-of-the-art equipment. Speranța Shelter is also actively involved in campaigns to promote adoptions and to educate and raise awareness of the responsibility we all have towards animals, in order to prevent abandonment and acts of cruelty towards them.

Any contribution, no matter the amount, can make a difference in the lives of many animals. Here are a few reasons why you should consider donating monthly: Monthly donations provide a stable income stream for the foundation, which allows for long-term planning and implementation of actions for the good of the dogs. Save time and effort: Setting up a monthly donation is an efficient way to contribute without having to remember to do it every month. Personal Satisfaction: Regular donation gives you the feeling of actively contributing to an important cause and having a direct impact on the lives of animals. Sustainability of the activity: A steady stream of monthly donations can help the shelter weather tough times and continue to do valuable work. How can I modify or cancel a recurring monthly donation? You can update your monthly donation at any time, including the donation amount, donation period, processing date, or payment card. You can also cancel your recurring donation whenever you wish. To make any changes, simply access the “Go to Donor Portal” link located at the bottom of your donation confirmation emails. These emails are sent after each monthly donation is processed. Once you access the link, follow the instructions provided to update or cancel your donation. We need your help to treat Ilu Together, we can turn suffering into real hope.
