FLORI'S FRIENDS RESCUE 

A large number of dogs on the streets and in these public shelters will not survive the freezing winters in Romania, making adoptions over the winter season even more vital to save a life. We send a regular stream of blankets for rescuers to place down on the streets in hope of saving a few strays when the harsh winter sets in. We also now take in unwanted British dogs who go into foster home.
