Dog rescue

Hi Everyone!!
I'm posting this in the hope that someone might want to help...I am involved in the rescue and re-homing of dogs from Romania. Romania has a huge amount of street dogs that are under constant threat from mass culling by poisoning by the local councils (their answer to the problem),they also face death and injury from traffic and, if they survive all this, they face a constant daily battle to find food and survive. There are now quite a few charity organisations that are doing all they can to rescue, neuter and re-home these poor dogs but it is not an easy task! To send dogs abroad is a lenghty and expensive proccess, especially to send them to England, however Austria is an ideal destination as it is relatively close to Romania so the cost of transport is immediately reduced and it is well known that the Austrian people have a wonderful reputation when it comes to animal welfare, another good reason to give these lovely dogs a second chance there. Basically what we need is someone who is prepared to give up their time and be a re-homing volunteer. This would involve home checks, making sure the dogs arrive at their new homes safely and further update checks on those homes as required. it is a big ask I know but so worth while don't you think? We already have transport for the dogs that goes through Austria on its way to England so that side of things are taken care of.
If you think you could help in anyway please get in touch with me so we can talk more.
Thankyou for taking the time to read this!
