"My name is Claudiu and run a small, local animal welfare charity in Arad, Romania. It's been brought to my attention that certain lies have been sent your way regarding Nany Janes of Romania Animal Rescue.

"Please know that in the past few years we've been working together to fix and rescue strays in my community. As far as I've seen here and at her home in the US, Nancy and her husbands are two people with great hearts and high moral values. They are both trying to find new ways to support Romanian charities on a daily basis.

"There are so many things I can write to you to show you how great Nancy is, but since you already know her I'm sure I don't have to :) Enough to say that my charity and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her."

"We have had tremendous help from RAR and from Nancy in particular. Just to name a few: She sustained our spay/neuter campaigns in a time when no one in Sibiu has ever heard of something like that. The doctors send by RAR have taught our vets how to operate, because previously they used ancient methods so that the animals need 2 to 3 days to recover. Thanks to her we could attend the International Animal Welfare Conference in Stressa and the World Woof Tour, which was a great opportunity to find new friends and organizations to adopt our dogs. And these are just to name a few of what RAR did for Animal Life."

"My name is Ioana Drasoveanu, and I live in Cluj, Romania. I know Nancy Janes for some years now and I can say she's been one of us, the animal lovers, giving us hope and courage. Nancy fought for us and tried to solve problems that were almost impossible, when times were hard for us (when almost all the international organizations had turned their back towards us, showing distrust and contempt).

"She made a superhuman effort to obtain money for the dogs in shelters, for the spay/neuter campaigns and for the dogs transfer to countries which are kinder than Romania to them. I am sure that all these meant, for Nancy, sleepless nights, hard moments of maximum discouragement. Still, she never gave up, she never let us resign. These are the reasons why I love her, I respect her."

"Through all my years of dealing with animal problems, I have never been more stricken than I am by the plight of the stray dogs of Romania. And I can't praise Nancy Janes highly enough for taking on the overwhelming task of helping these pathetic animals. I support the efforts of Romania Animal Rescue, Inc. with my whole heart and will do anything I can to assist in their efforts."

"Romania Animal Rescue and Mrs. Janes are legitimate, hardworking, caring and devoted to helping with the animal problem in Romania. I spent some time in Romania (I have two street cats found in Romania of my own), and I can attest to the fact that the problem with stray dogs and cats in Romania is severe.... I ask you to please be supportive and helpful to Romania Animal Rescue, as Mrs. Janes and all the caring people that volunteer and donate resources, through RAR, to this cause are truly interested in helping the animals. There is no political agenda, financial profiting or any nonsense. This is a legitimate effective non-profit organization. Mrs. Janes has single-handedly saved hundreds of animals."
