Field notes
The Orkney shop and one-off donations fund animal-welfare work in both Orkney and Romania; the page also lists a Pet Foodbank and a free-neutering campaign run with Brasov clinic BetoVet. It reports 52 dogs at the shelter in July 2025, 34 of them permanent residents, and records practical work including a new kennel-block concrete floor and a staff-room roof. Heated dog houses and kennel tiles are presented as next steps, not completed work.
