We met Radu during the spaying and neutering campaign we held at the shelter in October '25. Actually, not exactly; we were the ones who rescued Rantu.
Up on a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, as we were searching for other dogs from a pack that permanently lives there, suddenly this one appeared before us. We took him along with all the others – for him, no effort was needed; he came straight to us as if he had been waiting for us.
From his behavior and overall condition, we realized that this dog had nothing to do with the nearby pack. He had just been abandoned, and we encountered him at the most vulnerable moment for all abandoned dogs – the moment when, in the stress of the unknown, they are looking for somewhere to lean on. And he leaned on us.
We could never bear to part with him under any circumstances. How could we leave him again, just when he started to feel a little safe?
Radou stayed with us and with the little we provide him at the shelter, he is extremely happy. He is a joyful, young creature who finds happiness in the smallest things, who wants to go for walks, who longs for human companionship.
His ears and tail are cropped. If someone had intended him to be a shepherd dog, we do not know; knowing him, even the thought is laughable.
He arrived very thin and exhausted, but he is perfectly healthy. All he needed to recover was good food, and he has plenty of that.
