Yesterday lunch time a lovely supporter of Action Aid for Animals Shaz Chillery Pmd Kendra to let her know of the Emergency appeal put out by K9 Angels.
Victoria Eiserman has rescued two pups from the railway line on route to her catching her flight back to the UK and despite call outs for help no one had yet responded.
When Kendra received the call out for help, knowing that two pups would have no where to go and a third dog, a husky was seen in Bucharest train station that also needed help AAFA did what it does best.
We called on our network of amazing rescuers in Romania , one who we always can count on the incredible Alina Stan answered our call to assist and she sprang into action as she always does when an animal is need. She was not interested in AAFA telling her costs will be covered by us if she helps, her only concern was to get those pups and the dog to safety.
Alina within minutes called upon her foster network and had arranged for foster with the lovely Ionut for the Husky and a pension for the pups. But who would go and collect these pups from Victoria? To fetch that Husky and take to safety? Well we did not have to wait long, the amazing Ionut stepped forward again and braced himself in readiness to face the freezing temperatures , jump in his car and go to collect the pups and the husky like a knight in shining Armour that he is.
So within 46 mins of K9 Angels putting out the distress call, Action Aid for Animals had tagged and Pm'd all of our contacts in that region. The fabulous Alina Stan took up the gauntlet and not only found pension for the pups but also foster for the husky. In turn the foster then offered to also be the transport who would collect the pups and the husky and drive them to safety.
After Ionut was driving away form the station with his car safely transporting the pups and Hiusky, Vicky then pmd Alina asking for him to turn around as she had just taken a pup from a drunk man.
Quickly hie turned around and it is with great pleasure we can say all 4 dogs are snug, warm, cared for and safe thanks to Rescues and Rescuers from different countries collaborating to save the lives of innocents.
Now I know none of these people did this for the thanks, but....We believe that considering the trouble, time and energy that everyone involved put into this...It is only the right thing to do is to say thank you, and give recognition to those who would step in and do the right thing when help is asked of them.
I know some charities/rescues would take all the glory themselves, but Action Aid for Animals is not one of those charities . We firmly believe only by recognising and giving the thanks and respect to those that truly deserve it is the right thing to do and how to behave.
Alina Stan and Ionut you are the true heroes , you were the knight and princess in shining armor on the ground that truly made this happen. Without you, these pups and the husky would have had nowhere to go.
I am sure K9 Angels will join AAFA in thanking you both and allocating the praise to the right people who truly saved these dogs lives.
As Victoria was thanking Kendra yesterday, she said
" No Man is an Island, and there is no "I" in team".
We could not agree more Victoria, glad K9 Angels believe in this also!! What an awful terrible world this would be if Rescues did not apply this in their ethos...
