Sava's Safe Haven

We've loved every minute of our journey

A family-run shelter in Galati, Romania

Founded in 2012 by Oana and her family, Asociatia Sava's Safe Haven has brought essential care and safety to the stray and community animals of Galati, Romania.

With only 4 volunteers and no employees, Sava's Safe Haven provides a home to over 250 animals.

Our goals

In the years ahead, Sava's Safe Haven would like to continue to work within the local community, helping poor villages and animals living in terrible conditions. We are focusing on villages and communities and people with limited resources and opportunities where there are no veterinary clinics or doctors.

Adopt a dog

When you adopt a shelter pet, you save 2 lives.

The one you adopt, and the one that takes it's place.
