Sponsor Alma

Become Alma's hero, even from afar

Alma lived her life on a chain, in Chiajna. When the Animal Police visited her owner, he chose to get rid of her rather than sterilize her or allow her to live unchained.

Alma means “soul” – we named her that because it felt like abandonment had broken her spirit. But we were wrong.

After a life with Owners, not a family, Alma was happy to be in the shelter. She ran, she played, and she quietly told us she’d like to try again – in a new home. She’s a Malinois mix, quite close to the real deal 🙂

If you can’t offer her the home she dreams of, you can still help. Through long-distance adoption, you can directly support Alma’s care – food, treatments, walks, and training that will prepare her for the family she’s waiting for. A little help from you can mean a much better life for her, day by day.

How your sponsorship helps Alma

Every dog at Speranța Shelter deserves food, warmth, medical care and love, whether they find a home next month or spend many more years with us. 

Dogs like Alma often wait the longest for a home. Whether or not Alma ever finds a forever family, your sponsorship means they never go without.

Although your sponsorship is linked to Alma, your donation also helps us care for every dog at Speranța Shelter. Together, we make sure no rescued dog is ever left without the essentials they need.

By sponsoring Alma, you’re helping provide:

  • Nutritious meals every day
  • Veterinary care, including check-ups, medication and treatment whenever needed
  • A safe place to live, with warm shelter during Romania's cold winters
  • Exercise, enrichment and companionship to keep them healthy and happy
  • Special care, rehabilitation or mobility support if their condition requires it

If you’d rather make a single contribution instead of sponsoring monthly, you can make an annual donation to support Alma.

Your gift will help cover the cost of food, veterinary care, shelter and everything else they need throughout the year.

Unlike monthly sponsorship, this option does not include regular updates or a dedicated sponsorship relationship with Alma. It’s simply another meaningful way to help provide the care they deserve.

Why dogs like Alma need sponsors

Every year, thousands of dogs are abandoned on the streets of Romania.

Many eventually arrive at Speranța Shelter after suffering neglect, illness or abuse. While we work tirelessly to find every dog a loving home, some simply wait much longer than others.

Older dogs, dogs with disabilities, and those carrying emotional scars are often overlooked despite having so much love to give.

Sponsorship allows dogs like Alma to receive everything they need for as long as they’re with us. It also helps us continue rescuing the next stray dog with nowhere else to go.
