Sponsor Bijou

Become Bijou's hero, even from afar

Hello, my friend. I’m Bijou.

If you’re looking at me, I look like a classy, classy 2016 model (meaning I’m nine years old).

If you have the patience to let me tell you more about myself, you should know that I also have the temperament of a classic stray dog: I’m intelligent, resilient, easily adaptable to any conditions, I love food and I look for it everywhere. But most of all I love people. I’d give up a steak for a good cuddle any day. And yes, most strays I know would do the same. Don’t ignore us, don’t underestimate us. We’re bigger dogs than any dog you made in a lab. We are DOGS.

How your sponsorship helps Bijou

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

Although your sponsorship is linked to Bijou, 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 Bijou, 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

Prefer to make a one-off gift?

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

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 Bijou. It’s simply another meaningful way to help provide the care they deserve.

Why dogs like Bijou 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 Bijou 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.
