After a difficult start in life, she has finally found long-term stability with a supportive family, thanks to the collaboration with the <strong>Bellinzona Animal Protection organization<\/strong>, our partner for international adoptions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Her story began under very different circumstances, however<\/strong>. Last summer, Amy arrived at the <em>Footprints of Joy<\/em> shelter with her mother and sisters after they had been abandoned. Health checks revealed that some of the puppies had contracted parvovirus, a serious and highly contagious disease that requires immediate isolation and strict protocols to protect all the animals at the shelter.<\/p><p>Once she had made a full recovery, Amy took part in a rehabilitation and socialization program supported by shelter staff and trainers. This prepared her for access to the international adoption network and subsequently led to her meeting a <strong>Swiss family who were ready to welcome her and give her a fresh start<\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Amy\u2019s story is not an isolated case<\/strong>, <strong>but reflects a much larger mission<\/strong>. In 2025, <strong>171 animals from our shelter in Romania found loving homes<\/strong>. This is a particularly significant figure, as it is the first time in three years that the number of dog adoptions have shown an increase.<\/p>\n<p>These achievements are the result of networking with <strong>partner organizations<\/strong>, <strong>structured behavioral recovery programs<\/strong>, and the <strong>ongoing support of all those who believe in <em>Save the Dogs<\/em>\u2019 work<\/strong><strong><em>.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>\u00a0<\/em>Every adoption is both a personal success story and part of a broader approach grounded in expertise, responsibility and international collaboration.
