Spay and Neuters on Dogs/Cats in Bucharest

The Animal Spay and Neuter International team were in Romania recently for the opening of a new wing at the Center of Hope Hospital. The Patricia Zoline Centre was officially opened with a spay campaign on 17^th October 2022 where 114 dogs and cats were sterilized. The new wing will provide more space to hold sterilization campaigns and care for sick and injured animals for those who cannot afford to fund their dogs and cats own care.

ASNI has also joined forces with Humane Society International to provide even more sterilizations as a team. As well as health benefits and reducing the number of animals on the streets spaying and neutering in turn reduces the number of animals that need homes. Homes are found locally wherever possible for strays that come through the Center of Hope but with less animals less need for exporting to other countries is needed. The UK for instance imports thousands of dogs each year so the need for homes is still great.

At ASNI we tackle the problem at its source, it can cost around £500 to import a dog to another country whereas one spay costs as little as £20! 25 animals can be spayed and neutered for that price reducing the number of births by hundreds of thousands!

It is essential that we stop the cycle of births at its origins. ASNI is determined and committed to doing just that with the view to a Romania that has no more dogs and cats roaming on the streets, and providing every animal with the life they so deserve.
