In November 2025, we received an urgent call for help. At an abandoned farm<\/strong> on the outskirts of Bucharest, dozens of animals, including many horses, were being kept in appalling conditions<\/strong>. Many had already died from neglect and starvation<\/strong>. We immediately intervened and, thanks also to the donations we received, were able to transfer the most serious cases to Footprints of Joy<\/em>, our shelter in Cernavod\u0103, Romania.<\/p>\n Thanks to the fundraising campaign organized to mark our President Sara Turetta’s birthday, work is now under way to expand and improve our equine sanctuary<\/strong>. The existing facilities were simply no longer large enough to cope with the more than 70 horses, donkeys and other equines we take care of every day.<\/p>\n Today, we’d like to share some good news about the six horses we rescued and update you on how work on their new home is progressing.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Of the six, Bruno <\/strong>was in the most critical condition when he arrived with us. He underwent surgery to remove what remained of his left eyeball<\/strong> and was later castrated. Today, he shares an enclosure with three mares, two of whom are disabled, and has settled happily into his new little herd.<\/p>\n The other five horses have now made a full recovery from laminitis<\/strong>, thanks to the dedicated work of our farrier and veterinarian. They have also regained weight and have recovered from the effects of severe malnutrition<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This autumn, we will complete the expansion of two large enclosures<\/strong> next to the stables. Beppe, Pamela, Perla, Pina, and Patty will then be able to move in there permanently.<\/p>\n In the meantime, we have already purchased the tractor<\/strong> we urgently needed and have created a new quarantine stable<\/strong>, which will also serve as the sanctuary’s new infirmary.<\/p>\n Continue following us on our social media channels for further updates as work on the sanctuary continues.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We are proud to confirm we are continuing our partnership with WeWard for the fourth year running, renewing a collaboration…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":987528077,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-987528072","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-senza-categoria"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
