Dear Friends,

This is a newsletter that I never wanted to write. Our beloved Ambassadog for Romania Animal Rescue, Anna Marie, passed away from a very aggressive bone cancer last month. It has been too hard and emotional for me to write this to you sooner, and for that I apologize.

Anna was from Galati and was found with a broken back in 2006 having most likely been hit by a car. She was between 3 and 4 months old. I brought her back to the USA with me and she was and always will be the joy of our family. She was an inspiration to so many. Charities have started in support of handicapped animals thanks to her. She was beyond amazing and kissed like an Angel. Now she is an Angel.

We will be holding a spayathon in Craiova for 200 animals in her memory in November. Thank you Dr. Aurelian Stefan and the entire team for honoring her with this event.

Rest in Peace Darling.
