From Romanian street dog to Landlord of a Berkshire Pub in the UK- Well done Moby

From Street dog to landlord of a Berkshire pub

Our charity first was contacted as Moby along with another stray called Princess, they both were under real threat of being either thrown back onto the streets or put into a yard with a vicious dog known to attack others.

We jumped into action and started contacting various Romanian groups in our network of friends. Raluca Simion of GIA helped us find a safe foster placement for these two little furry angels.

This was last year and with help from Wilhemena Murray who shared the foster fees, together we all helped care for these two until our charity transported them to the UK last month.

Last week we got a phone call from Victoria, one of the K9 angels, 3 women in the south of England who actively foster, home check and find adopters for the doggies that our charity helps in various ways. Princess had already been adopted but Moby still was looking for a home.

Victoria had some wonderful news, Moby not only had found an amazing new family, but he had really landed on all four paws by landing himself the role as doggy landlord of the family business, a Berkshire Pub.

Today Victoria visited Moby to see how he was getting on, he had just got back from a long walk with his new family by the river and it was obvious how very happy and loved our little Moby was.

So this is to thank everyone involved in Mobys rescue, care and re homing...and this is one time we can say to one of our rescued pooches...drinks on you then Moby?

Fill a box with free samples of pet foods for our Aid Missions

There are many pet food companies that send free samples of their products to you. Today for instance I recieved a free sample box from Bakers which contained a days portion of their Bakers Meaty Balls and also a pack of 2 Bakers dental sticks. This I am donating towards the food donations for our forthcoming Aid Mission.



So all you would have to do, is say get 10 or more family members or friends to send apply for free sample packs and when they all arrive just collect them all, put them in a box and post off to us, or if you are close to one of our team members we will collect, or you could just find a whole load of companies that do this, and you could fill a box on your own....Some links below have been added below to start you off.

Give RAA a helping paw to help them reach Romania

As the majority of you know, the Romania Animal Aid team are working hard to fill Big Bertha to travel to Romania on 23rd Romania laden with aid to distribute to the strays on the streets and also to groups who need help caring for the animals they have rescued and are caring for...

Whilst Big Bertha is filling up with aid, she will also need filling up with Diesel.

...This is our appeal for this particular part of the aid mission...


From London to Bucharest it is approx 1301 miles (2094 kilometers)

We will be travelling much further than this as we will be travelling around Romania delivering aid and saving lives. We are hoping that you would be able to help Big Bertha on her way...

Please help us link the paw print in London to the paw print in Romania. It would take just 260 paw prints to get Big Bertha with her precious aid to her first stop Bucharest....


For every £5 donated we will place a paw on the map.....We only have 2 weeks to do this, but we know we can rely on our supporters and animal lovers out there, to get Big Bertha where she needs to go.

Please donate just £5 today and give us a helping paw

Romania Animal Aid Sept Aid Mission to Romania Appeal

In July 2011 our team visited Romania on a week long mission to deliver aid to where it was needed, met with mayors and decision makers, rescued animals left at the roadside..the list goes on and on. During our visit one thing was clearly obvious, it was no good us just doing one aid mission, or two or three, but regular aid missions needed to be organised on at least a bi monthly basis. So we made our minds up, bought a van,and are now planning Berthas (the RAA van pet name) first journey to Romania. The Aid mission will kick off on 22nd September.


The van that we have bought and customising to Defra standards will also be doubling as so many other things, we will be delivering aid, applying first aid at the roadside, rescueing injured and abused animals as well as delivering donations to those that need it the most. We need so many items to fill that van every other month, we simply are unable to do this alone...We need your help.

Please note we will be driving on route to Romania through France, then onto Belgium, Holland, Germany, Austria, Hungary, and finally, Romania. So we can arrrange collection points with our European friends so they can help with donations on route as well.


There are two ways you can help with this appeal, you can donate items or funds to buy items needed.
The items that we need are listed below as well as a justgiving link and paypal link for you to donate monies if you are unable to help with items but still want to help with the appeal.

We urgently need your help, and hope that in some way you can help fill Bertha so she can deliver her precious donations to those who are in such despetare need. Please contact us to arrange collection or for delivery address.

HAVE A DOG/CAT NEEDS TRANSPORT?
If you are an individual or a group who has a dog/cat ready (fully vaccinated and passported) to be transported to one of the countries we will be passing back through on route to the UK. We are more than happy to transport them and drop them off with their adopter for you. We would be asking for a monietary donation for this as this will then help towards the aid missions fuel costs to and from Romania. There are 5 places available.
