Also two dogs have been adopted by local people this weekend, and one man was reunited with his lost dog after Gea recognised one dog from a

All that driving, organising and packing has come together as the aid has started to arrive. Our big main shelter received six pallets, with one each for Aura's dogs and the SOS, Coca's shelter at Calarasi, Aurelia's shelter in Craiova.
