Mary's story

This is Mary. She’s 6 years old with fur as black as midnight, but a heart as bright as a summer day. She’s a little shy at first, but if you give her time, you’ll find a sweet, gentle companion who can melt your heart with just one look.

Mary lives in a shelter, where every day feels the same. She doesn’t ask for much — just safety, food, and a human who, even from afar, lets her know she’s not invisible.

You could be that person. Adopt her from a distance and help her feel like she matters. Like there’s a place in the world where she belongs. With your support, we can provide her with meals, care, and the quiet comfort she deserves.

HOW DOES SPONSORSHIP WORK?

Sponsoring Mary 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 Mary 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 Mary.

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

Why dogs like Mary 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 Mary 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.
