Speranța Shelter Foundation is a non-profit organisation dedicated to rescuing homeless dogs from extreme risk situations across Romania. Many animals entering our care are sick, injured, neglected, or abused. Without our intervention and dog rescue across Romania, countless lives would be lost to euthanasia or sustained suffering. Our dog shelter is more than a shelter; it’s a place of hope, healing and new beginnings for every paw that walks through our doors.

Our journey as a dog rescue charity began in 2001 with a defining act: the mass rescue of over 300 dogs facing euthanasia in a public shelter. Today, our facility provides a haven for about 500 dogs. For more than two decades, we have continuously developed and equipped the shelter with all the necessary facilities for the proper treatment and care of every dog.
