Organising and running spay campaigns in rural Romania to aid
in the reduction of the stray dog population.
Our primary objective is to improve the lives of the dogs left
behind in Romania.|
|---|---|
||Annie's trust strives to provide assistance to the poorest public
shelters within Romania, currently focusing on Adjud Vrancea in
the northwest.
With a small team of trusted unpaid Romanian volunteers, we
have been able to increase the quality of life, living conditions,
nutrition and medical treatment for the dogs. By providing
essential fea and tick treatment we have eased the sufering
caused by deadly mosquito and tick related diseases like
heartworm, babesia and anaplasma as well as controlling the
very serious skin condition demodex, which is rife throughout
Romania.
We have provided sleep boxes and kennels for the dogs living
outside in arctic conditions to provide a safe, warm and dry
place sleep.
Puppies are vaccinated and provided with regular food and
milk. While older and sick dogs receive more nutritious food to
improve their condition and recovery.
Dogs within Romanian public shelters receive very little medical
care when they get sick or injured. There is no medical care for
the dogs on the street who are left to sufer and die from
common accidents, brutality or disease.
We provide lifesaving medical treatment to all dogs in need,
that would otherwise sufer without our intervention.
We operate a stray feeding programme funding food for
Abandoned dogs.
We believe that the most sustainable way of controlling the
numbers of dogs on the streets and in the shelters is to
promote spay and neuter campaigns throughout the country.
We currently fund year-round sterilisation programs for the
public shelter dogs, strays and also to owners with limited
income for their pets. We educate to encourage better welfare
for their animals.
Annie’s Trust do not rehome dogs directly to the public, but
instead we liaise with trusted rescues and sanctuaries in the UK
who fnd homes for the dogs within their existing network.
This ensures a responsible approach to safely rehoming dogs.|

## Section D Achievements and performance
**Summary of the main achievements of the charity during the year**
Annie’s Trust was established 4 months before the first lockdown of COVID19. During this time, we have been able to grow as a charity and carry out our objectives in extremely challenging circumstances.
We have funded and developed our “Free Run” project, which is a first in Romania. An outside space was filled with tyres and obstacles for the shelter animals to run around and have fun in. Prior to this, the dogs were locked in cages 24/7 and had no stimulation. Some had never felt grass beneath their feet.
