Story

My name is Gilly and my best buddy is Aryia.We lived on the streets of Romania until very recently. Life is very hard and dangerous on the streets - constantly searching for food and shelter whilst keeping out of the way of the bigger dogs and humans who aren't exactly sympathetic to dogs like us.I can't remember when I first met Aryia but we are bonded and are now inseparable. She protects me as I'm only small and therefore vulnerable. Until the dogcatchers came !!!Aryia was captured first and to be honest I didn't take much catching as I just wanted to be with my best (and only) friend.We were taken to the Pound. Its an awful place here.The noise is horrendous with all the scared dogs and food is even scarcer than on the streets as we now have to compete with all the others in the enclosure for every morsel. Men with poles come most days and take some of the dogs away. We don't know where they go but they never come back!!! We don't know when they will come for us but they were pretty close the other day. We have heard that there is a bus leaving Romania on 4th February that can take us to safety and there's 2 places available. Bringing one of us and leaving the other behind is not an option.Problem is, we need to pay for our freedom and we haven't any means of doing that. Our bags are packed (although to be honest there's not much) and we desperately need your help.No donation towards our travel is too small.Please please help us. You are our only hopeThank youGilly and Aryia. XXXAttachments area
