Over the last few years Freedom Angels Romania have worked hard on establishing comprehensive local spaying and neutering programmes and are beginning to forge better relationships with local councils through meaningful dialogue. Our goal is to eradicate the abandonment of animals on the streets and in doing so, lessen the burden on the burgeoning shelters in Romania.

The yearly Spayathon campaigns start with teams of vets setting up a local dog hospital for 3 days, made possible by our funding. Our volunteers then round up and collect as many stray and abandoned dogs in need of neutering as possible. The dogs are then taken to the vets for treatment. To perform the procedure costs around 35€ per dog, but this does not include the travel and general fees associated with the vets and volunteers, as well as the aftercare for the dogs (who must stay at the location as long as possible after the procedure). Many animals are also brought in with various other injuries or health issues, which we make sure are dealt with by the vets but are at an extra cost to the charity. These issues could include things such as fleas, mange and broken bones. With all costs taken into account, each Spayathon costs FAR a minimum of £8,000.
