Our mission is to: Raise awareness of the plight of the stray dogs across Romania and the public kill shelters that operate to profit from euthanasia (where dogs often killed in the most inhumane of ways); Find sponsors for dogs so that they are able to leave the public shelter and be placed in a safe shelter; Fundraise for vaccines, microchips and internal transport for the dogs to the safe shelter; Build relationships and offer support to the local volunteers who are the team on the ground working with the public shelters daily; Provide accommodation for dogs from public shelters by building kennels on land owned by our trusted partners in Romania; Work with established and reputable UK and European rescues to find suitable places for the dogs we save. O.U.R Dog Foundation was set up by a small group of like-minded individuals who all strive for the same goal: to save public shelter dogs in Romania from certain death. The public shelters in particular are: Ovidiu, on the east coast of Romania; Uricani, in the mountains towards the west; Roman, in the north east. That’s how we got our name: O.U.R Dog Foundation.
