Sava's Safe Haven

Sava's Safe Haven Sava's Safe Haven is a non-profit Animal Welfare Association founded in 2012 by Sava family.
(48)

Welcome to Sava’s Safe Haven 🐶

We are a rescue shelter based in Romania looking after dogs (and some cats) of all shapes and sizes. In 2012, the Sava family, led by Oana Sava fundraised to buy a piece of land near Galati in Romania and began constructing the shelter with their bare hands. Initially, it was basic, offering rudimentary shelter from the harsh Romanian weather, but over the last 8 ye

ars, and following a huge amount of hard work the shelter has grown to be home to over 300 dogs and cats, adding facilities such as a playground, a veterinary area, recovery and quarantine rooms. Work is ongoing with the shelter constantly evolving and improving thanks to donations. Sadly there is a huge number of street dogs across Romania, some born there, others abandoned, but all with a story to tell of having been let down by people and the animal welfare system in Romania. Sava's Safe Haven is a registered charity, working closely with the local community to offer education on how to care for their animals and basic medical care including spay and neuter surgery for those who cannot afford it. We also rehome animals across Europe, focusing mainly on Germany and the UK as we have established local teams of volunteers in these countries who help us. There are also many dogs who cannot be rehomed, and who will live out their days at the shelter where Oana ensures they are safe and cared for. As you can imagine the cost of food, veterinary care, beds, and supplies along with shelter maintenance is very high. With no support from authorities or companies, the shelter relies solely on public donations to survive.

Today, we reach out to you with a heartfelt plea for your support in a crucial campaign that aims to bring a sustainable solution to the overpopulation of stray animals in Romania.
Our mission extends beyond rescue and rehabilitation; we are committed to addressing the root cause of animal overpopulation through our free spay/neuter campaign. This initiative is not just about reducing numbers; it's about creating a future where every animal is valued and cared for. It's about preventing suffering and promoting responsible pet ownership.
However, the reality is that we cannot do this alone. The financial burden of running such a campaign is significant. Each spay/neuter procedure, though offered at no cost to the community, incurs expenses that we must cover to continue our work. From medical supplies to post-operative care, every aspect of the process requires funding.
This is where we need your help. Your donation, no matter the size, can make a profound difference. It can save lives, prevent unwanted litters, and contribute to a healthier community for both animals and humans alike. With your support, we can expand our reach, sterilize more animals, and educate the public on the importance of this cause.

With a heavy heart, we announce the passing of the beloved German Shepherd we recently rescued. Poor boy has succumbed to cardiac complications.

We would have liked to have done more for him, we would have liked to prolong his life and show him that not everyone abandons him.
This dog ended up in a poor state of health, due to the lack of treatment but also the emotional shock suffered as a result of the abandonment. Sad, tired, and sick, he was found on the streets. People avoided him, they even called the police hoping they would see him disappear from the area.
We gave him a chance at life.
Unfortunately, today he decided that this world is no longer suitable for him.

This handsome pup is Pottur. Together with his brother Solskin, he appeared as a puppy approximately. 3 years ago at the shelter. He's stressed at the shelter, usually retreats into "his" corner and watches everything from there. So Pottur needs experienced people to give him plenty of patience and time to settle into a new home. A resident dog would help him adjust to a new life away from kennels. He gets along well with his kennel mates. A cat test can be done upon request. masculine Birth:10.10.2020 Height 50 cm microchipped fully vaccinated neutered Sava's Safe Haven rehomes animals in Germany, the UK, We offer full RBU, contact us for more details!

This is Peaches a lovely Labrador mix dog. She is a wonderful blend of kindness, gentleness and calmness. However, she is quite shy, which is understandable given the fact that she has been living in our shelter since she was a tiny puppy. She has never experienced life outside of her kennel and is in desperate need of a loving family who can give her a forever home.
her new owner would need to give her love, plenty of patience and time to help her adjust to leaving the shelter and starting a new life in a loving home. A kind, confident resident dog in her new home would be necessary to help her gain confidence and show the ropes.
Name: Peaches
S*x: Female
Size: Medium to large

Our Story

Sava's Safe Haven has been built in 2012 thanks to wonderful people that trusted us that we can do that. They are now the people that made possible rescuing of over 1000 animals.

“ Starting from an agriculture land, without any facility ( as water and electricity) just muddy that was a really problem when was raining, without any sponsorship from any company or authorities, just few Facebook friends that I will never forget, even they are still here with me or they left Facebook, together we did Sava's Safe Haven..

Even so many people told me " I can't" or " You will not do, or you are a scam" I continued to do what I dreamed for. I gave up to my life, to my time and everything I have to built this refuge. I had hard days, health problems, moments when I thought they could not go on.

It was not easy! In first months we was needing to fight with mud, with carrying water to the shelter, having lanterns and electric generators. Can you believe that to build this shelter were used only generators?? And only 3 men??? From which Gabriel was the brain.. he did almost everything!
