Pet Memorial Donates $13,000 Worth of Food to Romanian Animal Rescue Organization

The Pet Memorial, a global monument to pets and animal rescue charity contributor, recently announced its contribution of $13,000 worth of food to the Sky Foundation, an animal rescue organization based in Lasi, Romania. The donation will provide the Sky Foundation, which houses approximately 400 animals including dogs, cats, horses, and donkeys, with 14 tons of dog kibble, canned cat food, and hay. The Pet Memorial was established to commemorate pets that have “crossed the rainbow bridge” and provide pet owners with a meaningful opportunity to support animals in need worldwide through their love for their deceased animal companions.

Supporting Animal Rescue Organizations

The Pet Memorial is a unique organization that allows pet owners to cope with the loss of their animal companions while supporting animal rescue operations. “The Pet Memorial shines a light straight down from heaven and onto animals who need help,” stated Laura Simpson, founder of The Pet Memorial. The donations from pet owners go to the Harmony Fund International Animal Rescue Charity, which started The Pet Memorial project. The Harmony Fund has funded a global network of small animal rescue teams for 15 years resulting in more than $10 million in aid to animal organizations throughout the globe. According to the Harmony Fund, donations provide food, shelter, veterinary care, and protection from cruelty to thousands of animals each month.

The Pet Memorial’s website also includes a pet loss resource center to help those who are grieving the loss of their pets find coping mechanisms. Such mechanisms can include supporting animal rescue organizations such as the Sky Foundation.

Addressing the Global Issue of Pet Homelessness

The donation from The Pet Memorial was significant for the Sky Foundation, which relies on donations to provide food and shelter to the animals in their care. The situation has been extremely difficult lately, and I have considered just giving up because I felt like I couldn’t handle it anymore,” stated Mariana Craciun, founder of Sky Foundation, in the release. “The aid that comes from volunteers and organizations like The Pet Memorial is invaluable to us. The financial support and love they send our way gives us a sense of hope and determination to keep fighting for these animals.”

A global report of 20 countries revealed that 1 in 3 pets are homeless, with 203 million cats and 143 million dogs living on the streets. 12 million dogs and 4 million cats are living in shelters. The reasons for pet homelessness are complex, including pet surrender, losing pets and not getting reunited with them, pet-friendly housing limitations, and increasing pet populations on the streets. Such issues have prompted animal welfare organizations, policymakers, pet professionals, academics and researchers to conduct studies and call for interventions.

Conclusion

The Pet Memorial’s donation to the Sky Foundation in Romania is a heartwarming example of the positive impact that contributions from pet owners and organizations can have on animal rescue operations. Supporting animal rescue organizations helps give abandoned and neglected animals a fighting chance and helps to address the complex issue of pet homelessness.
