 Romania Animal Rescue,
Inc. has joined with Schnuffie
Productions in LA to produce a documentary about the life of the
street dog in Romania. We will be traveling to Romania in May to film this
documentary, which will include our rescuing puppies off the streets of
Romania and sending them to the USA for adoption into good homes! These
puppies would not stand a chance at a decent life if it were not for the
help of our friends in the USA. This is our opportunity to get the
importance of spay/neuter out to the world, as well as the plight of the
dogs in Romania, while saving 5 puppies.

Filming
Ten volunteers from California
will travel to Romania in May of 2006 to bring awareness to the stray dog
problem that has 
persevered despite numerous attempts to wipe out the homeless dog
population. A documentary film will follow the story of the volunteers as
they rescue a select number of puppies and bring them home to the United
States where they will be adopted into loving homes.
Through the medium of film and television we hope to educate and bring
awareness to the world of a predicament that has grown out of proportion.
The high-definition documentary not only portrays the journey of the
puppies, but also the volunteers as they enter the streets of an
industrial town in one of Europe’s poorest countries. Schnuffie
Productions is working together with Nancy Janes of Romania Animal
Rescue to maximize the results of this once-in-a-lifetime expedition.
Helen
Woodward Animal Center
 Orphaned puppies from Romania
reached their destination at Helen
Woodward Animal Center on Wednesday, May 17. Their journey, being
recorded for a documentary entitled "Rags to Riches - A Dog's
Life", followed a group of California animal advocates and US-based
Romania Animal Rescue (RAR) to Galati, Romania to save dogs from the
streets.
Once the pups are altered and released by the HWAC
medical staff, they will be made available for adoption within the next
few weeks. At that time they will move from the isolation area into the
public viewing kennels. Qualified families will complete adoption
applications and interviews with Helen Woodward Animal Center adoption
counselors. There will not be a waiting list. Adoptions will be
first-come, first-served.
