The Schnuffie team came in the same time with Loretta Swit, the actress- a dedicated animal lover and activist to end animal sufferance Worldwide.

From Schnuffie’s website:

“Ten  volunteers  from California successfully traveled to Galati, Romania to assist local organizations with spaying and neutering stray dogs in an effort to reduce the out of control street dog population. They experienced first hand the living and working conditions along with corruption and abject poverty. They bring home with them a new outlook on the situation, as well as 13 puppies who find loving homes in California.

A film crew follows their efforts and captures the volunteers as they discover the truth about the street dogs and the people who are helping them. Volunteers get involved with assisting surgeries, catching stray dogs and getting to know the local residents and how they feel about their country and the issues that concern them most.

Ideas and preconceptions are challenged when the volunteers discover that life for the stray dogs, while short lived and often miserable, may present a better alternative than simply housing them at the city shelters. Brave volunteers take hidden cameras to expose overcrowding and cannibalistic living conditions at the city shelters.”
