about us

Our Shelter

Moldova is a small independent country which borders Romania and the Ukraine, where there are no animal welfare laws and daily life is extremely harsh and dangerous for the many hundreds of strays on the streets.

FAQ

Dog or cat has a microchip, rabies vaccination and passport issued on day one. After 30 days dog or cat is taken to vet clinic for a blood titre test which is then sent to an EU approved laboratory usually in Prague. Results can take up to two weeks to come back depending on how busy the lab is. The dog or cat can travel 12 weeks from the date the blood is taken. So the total length of the process is 16 weeks. This is due to Moldova not being an EU member.
