11/10/2010Â - TURDA, Romania -- In the shadow of an abandoned brewery, stray dogs are being given a place to live and meals to eat.
Recently, a group of Airmen participating in Operation Golden Lance on nearby Campia Turzii Air Base offered their assistance with the shelter.
Staff Sgt. Rachel Lubovich, 48th Logistics Readiness Squadron material readiness supervisor, first heard about the shelter when another NCO inquired about helping a stray puppy near her hotel.
"She touched my heart, but I wanted to make sure she could get off the street," said Sergeant Lubovich, who contacted Romania Animal Rescue, Inc., an association based in California that works adoptions of Romanian puppies to people in America.
The head of Romania Animal Rescue, Inc., referred Sergeant Lubovich to two local associations that run the shelter.
When Sergeant Lubovich and her friends arrived at the shelter, they saw they had their work cut out for them.
