Cezar's story

Cezar was only a puppy when the world showed him its cruelest side. 💔

Found near a railway station in Romania, Cezar had been chased away by people when he desperately needed help.

One of his paws had been hit by a car and was so badly damaged that our veterinary team at Speranța Shelter had no choice but to amputate it.

Now, Cezar is safe and recovering, learning to adjust to life on three legs. But his journey is far from over, and he still needs ongoing care, patience and love.

By sponsoring Cezar from afar, you can help us provide the care, treatment and comfort he needs throughout his recovery.

Will you help give Cezar the childhood and second chance he deserves?

HOW DOES SPONSORSHIP WORK?

Sponsoring Cezar is easy

1.

Set-up your sponsorship

Tell us a little about you, choose your monthly amount and confirm your sponsorship with your first payment. After that, it’s automatic, nothing more for you to do.

2.

Receive updates

Once your sponsorship begins, we'll send you a welcome email with your sponsorship certificate. Every month, you'll receive updates and photos, so you can see how Cezar is doing and the difference your support is making.

3.

Manage your sponsorship

You can manage your donation by accessing the Donor Portal from the emails confirming your monthly payment. You can edit or cancel your sponsorship anytime.

Prefer to make a one-off gift?

If you’d rather make a single contribution instead of sponsoring monthly, you can make a one-off donation to support Cezar.

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

Why dogs like Cezar 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 Cezar 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.
