The pain of a desperate, suffering mother
We can not describe in words the suffering of a mother who’s babies were taken away from her soon after she gave birth and most probably were killed.
Rest în peace our dear GINA
Her story is the same as the one of many abandoned and unwanted souls. She reached to us 9 years ago, when we were announced that at a military facility în Bucharest, where she found shelter, it was decided her faith, to be shot because she was old and cranky.

She was left with three legs
This small and sweet kitty suffered an accident a long time ago, and only she knows how much she’s suffered: her leg showing bones was already gangrened, and couldn’t be saved. She is now at the clinic and waiting to recuperate, since she knows that she will be welcomed with love at the APAM Sanctuary.

Pregnant and hit by multiple cars!
There was a picture circulating on social media featuring a female dog which couldn’t walk and it turned out this poor innocent soul was hit by multiple cars passing indifferently through an area where people abandon animals deemed as useless objects. Our concern grew when we found out from the same
Seriously injured
We don’t know for how long these horrors will continue in this country! How long will shameless and heartless people and drivers make the animals suffer! We won’t probably find an answer in our desperation, that of the few who protect and help these little creatures and find them a place on this earth which belongs to them as well as to us.
We are very upset and without zeal to do anything anymore in this country, since we are struggling in vain, and it seems we are putting things into a bottomless pit.
Nearly frozen, under a piece of tin sheet!
This new year isn’t showing signs of happiness for us, since we are simply overwhelmed with phone calls, messages and cries for help. Outside, the blizzard and freezing temperatures which would make life difficult without a roof over one’s head! However, this doesn’t stop those bipeds without a heart to throw their unwanted animals into the street. Nothing in this world ever stops them!
Dog attacked by a pitbull
A beast with a human face has been training his pitbull to attack cats and other helpless dogs: the video has circulated on all social networks and it’s terrible, so we did not want to share it here, in order to avoid creating more shock than we have already felt ourselves.
A cry for help on New Year’s Eve
When everyone was preparing to move from the old year into the new one, a tortured soul lay almost frozen, and with head wounds on the side of a road. This is the way we have spent many New Year’s occasions,
Please help HELGA!
During the 25 years since we have been busy saving abandoned animals, we have seen many cases of animals who have been tortured
She put needles in food
This is how a brute with a human face wanted to kil her female dog. Because the dog got pregnant, she threw her on the street but, because the dog did not move from the front side of the house no matter
He was lying in the road, with a fractured mandible
We shall probably never know whether he was beaten and abandoned, or he was thrown out and then beaten by someone, or perhaps suffered an accident. What is certain is that he had 3 fractures of the mandible and one
SOS! A dog lies full of wounds!
We would often like to have at least out weekends in peace and rest, yet we can see that it’s not possible to take a break. Perhaps if we were to shut off the phones and the internet
They were thrown out to die

Puppies who were abandoned and beaten
It is incredible how cruel this world we live in has become! We are left in shock from all the calls for help we receive, and all the messages sent to us. How can we cope with all these cries
Lying injured from a blow in the head
This is what we suspect, that he was hit in the head. Unfortunately, we can’t tell with certainty, since we rely on investigations among the people around, and the verdict of the vets.
Seriously injured cat
It doesn’t matter that we are upset about the destruction created by the rainfall, during which our greenhouses and so many plants and labor have been destroyed: when the phone rings,
Help! Help!
A heavy rain havocked throughout our sanctuary, it took away the gravel and the sand
Welcome, Negruta!
We all know that the eyes are the most precious: we can see the light with their help, and all that is around us. Being blind means to live a life in darkness, not to know when you can stumble and fall,
Thrown in the woods and left to die
Probably, that “Human” without a heart and compassion abandoned those two little creatures in the woods with the purpose of letting them die in pain. On top of allowing them to become so sick
A desperate appeal for saving a life
Again we have received an appeal regarding a little dog lying in the street for 2 days without anyone who had the heart to bring him to a vet’s office. The irony is the appeal and the picture have been circulation
R.I.P. dear Lucky and Remus
You were good friends, and it’s as if you didn’t want to part. Perhaps you are continuing your play and friendship in another world. Although you were both paralyzed, we have tried to make your lives as beautiful as possible, and make
I wonder why I can’t see the sun?
It’s probably the question this little one is asking himself, being abandoned in this world without knowing why. Why can’t he see the sun? Why his coat is full of fleas and lice causing him to itch terribly? There are probably many questions with one answer: he was born on the planet Earth, where the inhabitants do not respect animals
Badly hurt and abandoned
Who could have done such a thing? She was surely abandoned, because stray cats are street smart and do not end up hurt like this. This little soul didn’t
Help! She can’t walk!
Her eyes are asking for mercy from every passerby. Who would help her, though? The people who are hurrying to work? They don’t even take a look at her
Help us find Tzonti!
cry for help came from a 70-year old lady suffering from diabetes and other serious diseases: her little female dog is the one who keeps her alive, and who accompanies her everywhere
Activity Report
We wanted to give you a short activity report for the year 2015. Perhaps we could have done even more for the animals, but as you well know, we are always hindered by the lack of financial means, which keeps ups from spending too much. We have over 100 animals in our carecat home, and additionally, we have others in foster care or on the streets, which we help as well.
We saved him from euthanasia
The life of abandoned animals is often so precarious. It is terribly painful to hear over and over the cries for help and not be able to attend to everyone, because it is impossible to cope
Letter to Santa Claus
Dear Santa Claus, I am Bilisor, the little dog saved from a field, where I was abandoned by those who didn’t care that I had a broke jaw and couldn’t walk. I was trying to survive alone and desperate, dragging my hind legs
Frightened and desperately in pain
Tens of km away from us, a man was asking for help for a dog who was running around desperate with pain. It was very hard to watch him, or think of the terrible pain he must have been in. It is not known how he came to be so hurt
Mutilated female dog
For some time, there has been a little female dog wandering the streets of Arad, now here, now there. She has only half of the mouth and half of the nose. Many people have told us about this case, but none could catch her because she was very scared. We don’t know how she came to be disfigured like this, and we’ll probabl
Paralyzed and alone in the field
It was already dark outside when a heartbreaking message made us forget about rest or sleep.
Somewhere in the wide fields, tens of km from us, there was a little dog lying paralyzed for a long time. His hind legs were useless, and he was crawling as he tried to find food and water in order to survive.
Hit and left on the road in a state of shock
We can’t say that about an ambulance that hit and seriously injured a dog, leaving him on the road in a state of shock. For them, a dog’s life doesn’t have the value of a human life.
He suffers from an infection in the legs
It is the sad story of a doggy who spends his days in a factory yard, a factory he had guarded for many years. Right now he’s in great pain and has much need of all of us, in order to receive treatment for his
It was meant to be!
For a few weeks now, we’ve been searching for solutions for transporting Wauzi, a little abandoned dog from a parking lot near Lovrin, to his new home. A wonderful human being, a lady with a great heart, fell in love with him as she was passing by. She had no means to solve his transport over the border at the time, though.
Sunday…early in the morning
How fortunate that at APAM someone answers phones and messages all day, every day!
This is how we found out of a resigned soul, sitting in the middle of the road, waiting for his death! From that moment, we began to search for solutions, and fret… At APAM all is full, we have no more free spots, but we had to help urgently!
Our homes are also full of animals, of course,… but we managed to free a place for him!
Beaten without mercy
Small, kind, friendly and loving are the words to describe a female doggy who was severely beaten.
To be friendly in this unfortunate world doesn’t seem to help at all! On the contrary!
The pitchfork was to be his end!!
We have received a shocking message! If we didn’t come and help Skipe, he was to be killed with the pitchfork by his own master! He was already very close to such an end once, and at the second chance, he may have been killed.
For two days he had been lying hit on the street
Once again we received a phone call that really terrified us. It was a young man who was telling us that 70 km from us, in Ineu, a puppy had been hit and that for two days he had been lying there and suffering without impressing anyone.
Injured and left to die in agony
It’s night, on the road car after car is passing by, one of them has hit a puppy but never mind, the driver is driving away without a bit of remorse, not to think of what’s worse: the possibility that he has been hit on purpose, he, this soul who doesn’t belong to anybody is lying there in the dark
Scared, beaten and starved
This is how an old female dog used to live on the street after she had been probably a lifetime useful to someone who can’t be called a human! To abandon a soul on the street who needs so much care and affection now that she has reached an old
An old lady, sick and without teeth
Instead of being comforted and fed soft food, since she has very few teeth left, and a breast tumor as well, she had to carry on in a parking lot, begging for food in order to survive. We came to hear about her, from people who were crying for help, and who took pity on her. They asked us to take her to a vet office and have her operated on and treated for her ailments. This is how we came to know the little old female dog, and now she’s in the saving
Dogs rescued from the streets and roads
There have been many cases lately, and we could not communicate them as separate news items any longer, partly because we’ve been overwhelmed by the sheer numbers. We do not exaggerate in saying that sometimes we have 10 calls coming in daily, with desperate people asking for our assistance. Sadly, the calls offering to help us are less frequent.
A desperate mother
Out of nowhere, a small kitten appears in front of the car… we break hard, and run out of the car, only to find another 3 kittens and a mother who was mewing continually and telling us her story of how she was waiting for someone to help her and her babies. She practically jumped into our arms and implored us to take her home. We quieted her down, assured her we wouldn’t leave her there. Then we had to catch the kittens, which were rather wild.
We began the watch and with the help of canned meat left in the cage we managed to catch them all. Hunger overcame fear!
They are all at the APAM Sanctuary now, and we hope that each one of them will belong to a responsible family someday… and we also hope the day will come when people will become more responsible and they will spay and neuter their cats and dogs.So much suffering comes from the ignorance and carelessness of some people!
Red Code for Heat
Red Code for Heat
Three days of severe heat and we hoped to get through this natural challenge, but it wasn’t meant to be. Our elder, Bubu, couldn’t make it through. We have managed to keep him alive for many years, with treatments and vitamins, after nobody else gave him a chance to live. He was abandoned due to old age and because he couldn’t use his legs anymore. We will never forget the way he sat, resigned and awaiting his death, believing that no one would ever care
