Priscilla Pescio
Photos/Video & Assistance to Alice, Romania

In 2019 I was lucky enough to bring three rescued dogs to Dog Rose Romania and it was as well the moment when a wonderful friendship has began! 

Since then, I’ve been going to the shelter whenever possible, helping Alice with whatever she needs and helping (unfortunately on a small scale) to collect donations! I have already seen various shelters in Romania and also helped as a volunteer before, but at this shelter the devotion and love that is given to the lost souls is really remarkable! The shelter is transparent, as a volunteer you are appreciated and everyone is honestly committed to the project.

Therefore, I am more than happy that I have met Alice and the “furry gang”! I stand a 100% behind this project/shelter and the people who work for the animals day and night!

The need to help my three little souls brought me to Dog Rose Romania in 2019! I will always be grateful for that!
