Sponsor Mișu

Become Mișu's hero, even from afar

Mișu broke our hearts. We don’t know what happened to him in the public shelter in Târgu Jiu, but he is now in a deep depression.

He sits like this for hours, in the farthest corner of the paddock, with his head against a wall, like an ostrich. He seems anxious to disappear, to break away from the people who have abandoned him, from the life he no longer wants. If we’d heard of more suic suicides in dogs, we’d be even more worried about Mișu.

He’s not ready to be taken home yet. He can’t even get close to people, he can barely move, he’s in a quasi-permanent freeze. Which is why he needs you and us all the more. More than anything, he needs friends. A long-distance sponsor, one or more people who would take a constant interest in him and visit him, would help him a lot. He wants, like every soul, to feel loved. When you know you are loved, in this life, you turn your face from the walls to those you care about.

How your sponsorship helps Mișu

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

Although your sponsorship is linked to Mișu, 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 Mișu, you’re helping provide:

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

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

Why dogs like Mișu 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 Mișu 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.
