Why are there stray dogs and cats at all?
Main cause for the existence of stray cats and dogs is the uncontrolled breeding of owned pets!

Once on the streets, the abbandoned animals continue breeding, therefore the stray animals problem turning into impossible to solve, no matter what measures are taken only against these animals.
What can we do about it?
Taking into account what we know so far, we consider our priority to neuter as many pets that have an owner as possible, therefore stopping the abandon of unwanted dog and cat babies.
We definitely claim that neutering the owned dogs we efficiently use the donations we get. As you might have noticed, many of the dogs and cats that don’t have an owner end tragically, even of neutered. Continue reading

The ROBI Association invites you Monday, April 13, 2009 between the hours of 12:30 and 16:30 in front of Bucharest City Hall, in a show of support for the only measures capable of solving the problem of homeless dogs and cats.
