400 dogs lived in a good shelter until their caretaker's money ran out and everything was uncertain. Then Mrs. But every time Mrs. And so the 400 dogs stayed.

This is the true story of a wonderful lady from Romania and the dogs and other animals she saved! This story begins almost 15 years ago, when Mrs Bogza bought land and built a small cottage where she decided to bring her dogs from the mountain to have them near Bucharest. It was to be a quiet place where family could enjoy the countryside for weekends and holidays. Bogza kindly helped a lady look
ing for a place where to house 200 dogs saved from streets by renting her a land helping with fencing. Bogza travelled from Bucharest to Butimanu, she saw many abandoned dogs and cats. She couldn’t just drive by the old and sick, or the young puppies and kittens in danger. So she started to build paddocks also on her land. In 2013 the Romanian government started to kill the strays in barbaric way the strays who’s only fault was to be abandoned. In time, Mrs.Bogza had saved nearly 400 dogs. Early attempts to adopt out animals were problematic, and Mrs. Bogza heard bad misinformation on sending dogs abroad. For almost 8 years, Mrs.Bogza cared and fed over 400 dogs without asking a penny !!! She spent all her family savings to pay the workers from this shelter and a smaller shelter she created in Bucharest, buying food and paying vet care for all the animals she saved, registering, spaying/neutering and vaccinated all the dogs from shelter without asking for help! She also created the SEMPER FIDELIS DOMUS , a non profit association. Targeted in an estate battle over her late husband's estate, Mrs. Bogza was in a desperate situation. Little by little, help came. The smaller shelter was taken on by wonderful friends from Lippstadter Pfotenhilfe Germany, so 70 dogs and 40 cats were saved! (These friends still share their food donations with the Butimanu shelter and help care for special needs dogs). The main shelter in Butimanu struggled on. Then came help: Supporters from the U.K. found adopters for many dogs. Three dogs even went to Sweden! Some financial support came from the U.S. And then some miracles from Germany: A pair of dynamic women started arranging transfers to Germany shelters which could find dogs. And then a woman representing an organization in Germany not only helped place dogs, but began renting paddocks in Butimanu for its own rescue efforts! Thanks to all these efforts, the dogs at Butimanu now number only 120! But even with all this support, more is needed. The money coming in does not entirely cover the cost of food, workers and utilities. The paddocks are becoming old and need costly repairs. Just last year, an epidemic of heartworm overtook the shelter, requiring significant funds to test and treat. Most of all, our remaining dogs need sponsors and donors. As more adoptable dogs leave, the ones that are left are the old, the special needs, the ones who are so understandably still afraid of humans. We are so close to finding a happy ending for the Buimantu dogs. Won't you help? PLEASE HELP MRS.BOGZA FIND A HAPPY ENDING FOR THE BUTIMANU DOGS!!! ANYTHING YOU CAN SPARE WILL BRING US CLOSER TO THIS GOAL!!!

Heute habe ich auch noch wunderschöne Nachrichten für euch, denn unser Ömchen Elsa konnte diese Woche in ihr neues Zuhause umziehen 💟🥳💟...
Wir freuen uns so sehr, das unsere süße Elsa zum ersten mal in ihrem Leben nun auch erfahren darf, wie schön ein eigenes liebevolles und behütetes Zuhause ist. Bei ihrer neuen Familie kann Elsa nun ganz entspannt ihren Lebensabend genießen und viele schöne Dinge erleben, was ihr bisher nicht möglich war. So kann sie voller Freude den heimischen Garten erkunden, neugierig durch die Natur mit ihren Menschen streifen, ausgiebig mit ihren Zweibeinern kuscheln und sogar das gemütliche Bett darf sie mit ihrem neuen Frauchen teilen ☺️. Mit den anderen 3 Hunden der Verwandschaft versteht sich Elsa auch bestens und hat so auch bereits neue Kumpels gefunden 💖.
Ihr neues Frauchen hat uns auch bereits ein paar Schnappschüsse von Elsa geschickt und schon bald bekommen wir die nächsten Grüße, sobald sich Elsa vollständig eingelebt hat in ihrem neuen Zuhause...
Wir möchten uns vom ganzen Herzen bei dem neuen Frauchen von Elsa bedanken, das sie der tollen Hundeoma ein liebevolles Zuhause geschenkt hat und ihr so noch einige wunderschöne Jahre schenkt 💗💓💗

Cindy and Jazzy from SFD, settling in at Tierheim Pfungstadt and enjoying so many of the things that we take for granted for our dogs. But for these SFD dogs it is often the first time they have been for a walk on grass or had the space to move around freely and receive individual attention and affection.
Thank you to all involved, we say those words such a lot, but this truly means the world to everyone involved with Semper Fidelis Domus 🙏❤️x

Thank you to Daniela Herzig-Hofmann and the wonderful friends of Umbra Canis - Gemeinsam stark für all/t/e Hundeseelen e.V. for helping more dogs from SFD to find homes. This is such good news to help Jacko by also taking his brother Pacco ❤️❤️ Without the help of our brilliant friends in Germany, so many of the SFD dogs would still be in Romania, but now they have the chance of a happy future!
❤️ Nino you have come a long way ❤️
Some of our black dogs in SFD ❤️
“Black Dog Syndrome” is well known to almost anyone who runs a shelter in the U.S., Europe or some other parts of the world.
Black dogs in shelters have been objectively shown to have the lowest adoption rate and highest euthanasia rate, regardless of their breed.
Why?
There are many theories, including superstition, difficulties in photographing them well, and subjective perceptions that they are “less friendly” or “more aggressive.”
It is no surprise that many remaining dogs at the SFD shelter are all or almost all black.
You can help support them by going to https://alwaysloyaldogrescue.org/donate.
Our black dogs thank you, and so do we!
Can anyone sponsor Vincent? 🙏🤞
SPUNKY VINCENT, LOOKING FOR SUPPORT
Vincent and his siblings followed their Mama to the SFD shelter when they were not yet weaned.
Mama was skin and bones and had run out of milk, but she was one smart mama! She somehow knew that there was food to be had at the shelter and managed to get her family there.
Vincent and his siblings have grown up at the shelter and live together in the same paddock, where they love to roughhouse.
Despite limited socialization with humans, Vincent is a friendly guy and we hope he finds a place soon.
In the meantime, a sponsorship or one-time donations would really help with his upkeep.
Read more about Vincent at https://www.alwaysloyaldogrescue.org/available-dogs/vincent and please consider a donation!
Precious Malu - 14 years old and still in a shelter 😰
OUR OLD GIRL MALU COULD USE SOME SUPPORT
At an estimated age of about 14 years, Malu is now the oldest dog in the SFD shelter.
She lost a hind foot in a train accident while young and with four new puppies.
They were freezing in the snow of a harsh Romanian winter when they were found by a family friend of Doamna B just as she was starting the shelter.
The puppies have all grown and found homes.
Malu is thought to be too old and weak to travel now, but the support of a stranger could make her remaining years secure.
If you would like to sponsor Malu or make a one-time donation, please go to https://alwaysloyaldogrescue.org/ and find the red donate button.
Love and thanks from Malu and those who care for her.
❤️❤️ Elsa from SFD has arrived in Germany and as you can see, she looks happy and loved and living the life she deserves. As you will see in the post, there is a problem with her leg, but we are 🙏🙏’ing this is nothing serious and she will see the vet on Thursday.

Diese sanfte und liebe Maus ist die 13 Jahre alte Oma Elsa, die derzeit noch in Rumänien lebt.
Oma Elsa lebt seit jungem Alter in einem rumänischen Tierheim und hatte dort nie die Chance auf ein neues Zuhause gehabt, da von dort meist keine Hunde adoptiert werden. Nun ist leider ihr Hundekumpel mit dem sie dort all die Jahre zusammen gelebt hat, kürzlich verstorben und seit dem vereinsamt die Kleine immer mehr 😥.
Wir wurden angefragt ob wir nicht ein Plätzchen für Oma Elsa frei hätten, da sie nicht einsam im rumänischen Tierheim ihren Lebensabend verbringen soll. Sondern vielleicht doch noch die Chance auf ein liebevolles Zuhause bekommen soll und da wir auch ältere Hunde sehr gut vermitteln, hätte die süße Maus bei uns sicher noch gute Chancen auf ein ganz fürsorgliches Für-Immer-Zuhause 💕.
Ein Plätzchen für Oma Elsa hätten wir, das wäre also nicht das Problem. Jedoch könnt ihr euch alle denken, das leider ein alter Hund auch wieder so einige Tierarztkosten mit sich bringen wird und diese müssen wir leider auch berücksichtigen, da wir auch die tierärztliche Betreuung gewährleisten müssen.
Aber könntet ihr zu dieser süßen Hundeoma, nein sagen und ihr die Chance auf ein glückliches Hundeleben verwehren???
Wir können und möchten es einfach nicht.
Wir wären euch unheimlich Dankbar wenn ihr Oma Elsa mit einer Spende für ihre anfallenden Tierarztkosten unterstützen möchtet, denn sie muss einmal komplett vom Tierarzt durchgecheckt werden und auch ein Blutbild zur Organ Kontrolle benötigt die Süße.
Daher sind wir über jeden Hilfe für Oma Elsa`s Tierarztkosten unwahrscheinlich dankbar und es ist eine große Hilfe für uns 💓.
Wir wären euch unglaublich dankbar, wenn ihr uns helft Oma Elsa ein schöneres Hundeleben zu ermöglichen und schicken jeden Spender einen lieben Knuddler von uns zu 🥰🍀

❤️🥰 Dolly is well and truly home 🥰❤️ Dolly has settled so well & is loving life with her adoptor Joanne Akturk. The video shows her playing with another little Rommie rescue, Beau, who Jo looks after sometimes, and she’s obviously having a great time. What a difference this has made to Dolly’s life!! She seems to have relaxed into her new surroundings with no problems, loves Jo and I don’t think we need to worry about this lovely soul anymore ❤️. Have a great life Dolly, but we know you will! More photos in the comments below and who would believe she has been in the UK only 4 days!! If anyone would like to start donating just £2 per month to the Shelter, please go to the website below where this can be set up very easily. It will help to feed and care for the many dogs that are still there 🙏. Just use the reference SFD Monthly Donation please. We are trying to get as many small donations as possible and if we can build this up then it will make a huge difference to feeding the dogs each month! http://sfdshelterdogs4adoption.com/services.htm
One of the first videos we took of Dylan when he came to us to live in the UK in 2016 - he just loved ‘zooming’ around his garden 💜. Would love to see more dogs from this Shelter enjoying life like Dylan x Sue Dearing
On Friday two dogs left SFD, heading to homes in the uk, Marley going to Oakham and Blackie to a home in Fakenham Norfolk. Sadly the gentleman adopting Blackie, passed away Friday night, which was a total shock and he was so looking forward to having Blackie and was going to rename him Berkley. So Berkley has now joined Dave and Sue Ellis-Nixon along with Fletcher,Dexter,Maisie,Gracie and Alfie! Sue and Dave worked hard all weekend putting up a temporary fence which will be his run, which is attached to his penthouse suite! (a summerhouse) which was used to house Gracie and Alfie when they first came over from SFD and once he has settled and met ‘the gang’ he will join them all in the big house! In the mean time, Berkley will have heating and an igloo to hide in and a big duvet to snuggle into. He has a dog flap so he can get out in to his garden. He will also have another kennel similar to his kennel at SFD incase he goes out and is frightened to go back in through his dog flap, he will then at least have somewhere warm and covered. The summerhouse has been insulated and so Berkley will be very cosy. He will have a radio on for company and Sue will sit in with him for hours at a time until he gets used to her and then he will be introduced one at a time to the other dogs until he feels safe to be a part the pack! Then he will be with them all in the house. I think everyone will agree that for an 11 year old little rescue dog who has spent years in a shelter, this is a wonderful and happy retirement home! Below are the first videos of Berkley exploring his new home!! Heartfelt thanks to SFD, Criss Anca Sue and Dave Ellis-Nixon, Kathy Barrett Leca Bogdan for making this happen 💜🐾🐶### Am Freitag verließen zwei Hunde SFD und brachten sie nach Großbritannien, Marley ging nach Oakham und Blackie nach Fakenham Norfolk. Der Gentleman, der Blackie adoptierte, starb leider am Freitagabend, was ein totaler Schock war, und er freute sich so sehr darauf, Blackie zu haben
video taken in the Semper Fidelis Domus shelter in Butimanu, Romania. All these dogs - around 300 at the moment - are in need of help, the shelter's owner can't afford to pay for their food anymore. Please, you too can help by virtually adopting one of these dogs for around 20 Euros/month. Any share and any small donation will help them a lot, especially during this winter and would be greatly appreciated. Please send us a message for more info if you want to adopt one of these souls. Thank you!
We thank you from our hearts for the kind help you offered to our dogs! They are alive because of you who donated and kept this shelter open! HAPPY HOLIDAYS !!! ❤🎄🎆🎇❄⛄
UPDATE - GOLDIE IS TRAVELLING TO UK 14TH DECEMBER TO STAY WITH LORE WHO SPECIALISES IN HELPING FEARFUL DOGS TO OVERCOME THEIR ANXIETY. SAFE JOURNEY LOVELY BOY AND BE HAPPY ###X. ❤🐕🐾 Absolutely stunning 7 years old boy, with a very sad story 😞 He was a pet dog and lived for 2 years in a home, until his owner died and relatives brought him to shelter. Because he was not used to live outside he was so frightened and the other dogs tried to bite him and one of them catched his tail and bited so bad that it had to be amputated by vet 😢 This summer, a very heavy rainstorm with lightning and thunders made him so scared so he jumped the fence of the paddock and ran inside the small house in the shelter, to try to hide 😢 Here you can see his wounds: https://www.facebook.com/pg/semperfidelisdomus/photos/?tab=album&album_id=1848599748782081 He had a haircut that time, this is why you might think he is not the same like the one in video. As you can see in the video, this boy is super friendly and loving He is fine now but the bad weather is approaching - can anyone offer this boy a home who can comfort him during thunders and give him love and affection? Please share as we are desperate to find him a home as soon as possible.
💜🐾💜 Today Semper Fidelis Domus Shelter said goodbye to three lovely dogs, including Skye - the little one Sue Dearing sponsored. She looked nervous but they are all now on their way to fabulous Shelters in the UK where they will have a great chance of finding their perfect forever homes! This is such a big move for Skye and her two little friends and we all wish them a safe journey and a wonderful future which they so deserve 💜🐾💜. This is what we are trying to achieve for many more of the lovely dogs at this Shelter - a road to happiness. Good luck little ones 💜🐾💜. If anyone would like to help, please donate £5 per month which will buy 10kg of food to help keep them safe - Paypal [email protected] x
Mura, a 5 years old girl, very gentle, microchipped. She had a right foot fracture untreated and now she has a shorter femur. The vet said there is no problem and should not be operated. For adoption.
Girls, aprox. 4 years old, very playful would love to know how it is to live in a home. A small bed of their own in a corner of the house would be perfect! <3 PLEASE SHARE! <3
Dexter wants all the love he can get! Who want to give him some? <3 He looks like a Norwegian Elkhound (not pure breed). He is safe now, but unhappy in the shelter... : ( He is now around 7 years old. Please give him a FOREVER HOME! <3

This is the true story of a wonderful lady from Romania and the dogs and other animals she saved!
This story begins almost 10 years ago, when Mrs Bogza bought a land and built a small cottage and a yard where she decided to bring her dogs from the mountain to have them near Bucharest. Here was supposed to be a quiet place where she can come with her family for the weekends and holidays to enjoy countryside. Also Mrs.Bogza has been so kind and helped another lady (who was looking for a place where to take her 200 dogs she saved from streets as the place where she was keeping them was sold by owner) by renting her a land and helping her to build a fence for her shelter.
But all this dream ended when she started to go often to visit the constructions and she found many abandoned dogs and cats in her way from Bucharest to Butimanu. She couldn’t drive near old and sick animals or young puppies and kittens who were in danger near highway or in the fields, so she started to build paddocks also on her land. From her own 10 dogs and 2 paddocks, she has now a shelter with more than 100 paddocks!
In 2013 when in Romania the government started to kill in barbaric way the strays who’s only fault was that they were abandoned in the streets by “humans” Mrs.Bogza started to save every dog and cat found abandoned in the streets of Bucharest and took them to safety in her shelter in Butimanu, shelter in which in a couple of years there were over 400 dogs.
Mrs.Bogza was looking to give for adoptions the saved animals but unfortunately first adoption was in Romania and the adopter was not able to care for the two dogs he took from her shelter. So she was thinking of giving the dogs for adoption abroad. Another bad luck for her was that a person told her not to send dogs abroad as they “will be killed and will become gloves” . So for some years no dog left the shelter and the number of the saved dogs kept raising.
For almost 8 years, Mrs.Bogza cared and fed over 400 dogs without asking a penny !!! She spent all her family savings to pay the workers from this shelter and from another smaller shelter she created in Bucharest, buying food and paying vet care for all the animals she saved, registering, spaying/neutering and vaccinated all the dogs from shelter without asking for help! She also created the SEMPER FIDELIS DOMUS , a non profit association. Last year was one of the worst for this wonderful lady, she has problems with her health and also was dragged to court by a relative who wants to take all her goods left by her husband. Her savings are all gone and her apartment is blocked by court until the final decision. Mrs.Bogza is having just a small pension which allows her just to care for herself now.
The other shelter, the smaller one(situated in Bucharest) is now in the care of lovely friends from Lippstadter Pfotenhilfe Germany, so 70 dogs and 40 cats are saved! And the association also try to send a bit of help for dogs in Butimanu shelter too!
Unfortunately the dogs in the shelter in Butimanu (about 280 dogs) are still in danger! Indeed many wonderful animals’ lovers came and donated this month over 650 Euro and food for dogs for about 2 more weeks. But the salaries(including taxes) for workers for one month are about 1,000 Euro. And dogs’food is about 3,500 Euro/month.
Mrs.Bogza is trying hard to find a happy ending to this story, but if the dogs will not find fosters, adopters, virtual adopters or associations which to sponsor or take over the shelter, she might need to decide to give the dogs to ASPA, where in 15 days they are put to sleep and I have no idea how she will accept this with her kindness and devotion she has for all these beautiful dogs! :’(
PLEASE HELP MRS.BOGZA TO KEEP THESE DOGS ALIVE!!!!!
PLEASE THINK OF ALL THE EFFORTS MRS.BOGZA MADE TO SAVE AND CARE FOR THEIR LIFE!!!!
THEY DON’T DESERVE TO DIE!!!!
