Despite challenging operating contexts, shortages of veterinary resources and a growing number of vulnerable situations, the Foundation\u2019s work continued to deliver effective actions in terms of prevention, medical care, and protection for the animals most at risk.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Prevention and population control in Italy<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Through the <em><strong>Too Many Puppies<\/strong><\/em> project, active in Campania and Calabria, a total of <strong>4,585 sterilization procedures<\/strong> has been carried out since 2019.<br \/>In Campania alone, <strong>2,967 animals<\/strong> have been sterilized to date, including <strong>1,397 cats<\/strong> and <strong>1,570 dogs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Identification efforts also continued throughout 2025 with 116 micro-chips applied, thanks to door-to-door initiatives in Rogliano and two dedicated <strong>Microchip Days<\/strong> held during the course of the year.<\/p><h3><strong>Friends on the Streets, Companions for Life: <\/strong><strong>supporting vulnerable individuals and their pets<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><em><strong>Friends on the Streets, Companions for Life<\/strong><\/em> remains a vital support service for people in situations of social fragility and their companion animals living in Milan.<br \/>Since the launch of the project, <strong>329 people<\/strong> have received assistance, including <strong>200 supported in 2025 alone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Over the year, the initiative ensured a constant presence in the area, <strong>carrying out 981 field visits<\/strong>. In addition, <strong>14 veterinary clinic consultations<\/strong> were provided for cases requiring more complex medical assessments. Activities also included <strong>68 sterilization procedures<\/strong>, <strong>267 vaccinations<\/strong> and the <strong>application of 40 micro-chips<\/strong> \u2014 essential measures for safeguarding animal health and ensuring responsible, long-term care.<\/p>\n<p>Beneficiaries include people experiencing homelessness, low-income households, residents in public housing, informal living situations and other forms of vulnerable social contexts, reinforcing the project\u2019s role as an integrated model of animal and human welfare.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Results and operational impact in Romania<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>A total of <strong>1,511 sterilizations<\/strong> were carried out in 2025\u00a0 \u2014 <strong>600 dogs and 911 cats<\/strong> \u2014 representing an <strong>11.34% increase compared to the previous year<\/strong>. Clinical services also provided <strong>238 emergency treatments<\/strong> and the overall treatment of <strong>2,134 animals<\/strong>. In addition, <strong>147 animals were rescued and welcomed<\/strong> into care and protection programs.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most significant figures concerns the organization of the sterilization activities: in 2025, <strong>58.37% of the procedures<\/strong> were performed by external veterinary teams, enabling the Foundation to maintain and expand its capacity for intervention.<\/p><h3><strong>Adoptions: a reversal of the downward trend<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Following several years of decreasing figures, 2025 marked a <strong>significant reversal in the trend of dog adoptions<\/strong>. During the year, <strong>a total of<\/strong> <strong>171 adoptions<\/strong> were completed, of which <strong>135 were dogs<\/strong> \u2014 <strong>a 26.17% increase compared to 2024<\/strong> \u2014 and 36 cats.<\/p>\n<p>This result reflects the <strong>structured, ongoing work<\/strong> of the adoption team and the strengthening of our <strong>international partnerships<\/strong>, which significantly expanded family-placement opportunities for long-stay dogs. <strong>Sweden<\/strong> remains the primary partner country, followed by <strong>Switzerland, Italy and Germany<\/strong>, all contributing decisively to the improvement of overall adoption figures.<\/p>\n<p>The increase in the number of dog adoptions represents an encouraging sign and a concrete indicator of the effectiveness of the strategies that have been implemented.<\/p>\n<p>Cat adoptions, on the other hand, recorded a decrease compared to the previous year. The data however includes the adoption of some particularly complex cases and a large number of local adoptions in Romania \u2014 a particularly significant achievement given the ongoing structural challenges in the region.<\/p><p>Sara Turetta con Andrea Gavinelli, 2015<\/p><p>Sara Turetta<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2025 was a year of intense activity and measurable results for the Save the Dogs Fondazione, both in Italy and in Romania&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2187,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[13],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
