Their stories:
A small farmhouse with a small piece of land and its owner, this is the refuge of these 6 stray dogs and several street cats.

Ion, an elderly gentleman was the owner and had a big heart for street animals. He saw the need of the animals and although he himself lived in poor conditions, he always had some of his own food left over to give to a hungry dog or cat. And so, little by little, 5 stray dogs and several cats came together to live in peace on Ion's property. The 5 dogs could come and go whenever they wished and yet they always stayed near or on the property. Ion gave them a safe place, some food and water, attention and love.

Anca had known Ion for many years and knew of his love for the animals. She brought him dry food for his stray dogs from time to time in the beginning. But it was important to Anca that the dogs would be castrated and so she discussed the benefits of castrating the animals with Ion. In August 2016, the time had come. The 5 stray dogs were to be neutered. As the animals were still reserved and cautious towards humans at that time, it was difficult to catch them and bring them to the vet. Anca and a friend managed to catch the dogs in stages.

Of course, after the castration/recovery period, the 5 dogs came back to Ion. From that time on, Anca visited Ion and "his" stray dogs regularly and brought them food. Little by little, Anca also had the street cats neutered. The 6th stray dog came a few years later. It was a little puppy girl that Ion had found a place for at the nearby rubbish container and took with him.

Over time, the 6 stray dogs became more and more trusting and are very happy when they hear Anca's car approaching. Anca is greeted with joy. The dogs run around excitedly and their eyes light up. And you can even stroke them and cuddle some of them. This also makes it easier for Anca to treat the 6 stray dogs for parasites and vermin, or even to help with minor injuries.

Sadly, Ion died in September 2019.

Of course, Anca continues to take care of Ion's 6 street animals who continue to live at his house and property. Since a few months, the house has a new owner and luckily, he accepts the dogs and cats. They can continue to live there in peace. Anca visits Ion's pack every day, looks after them, feeds them, gives them attention.
