Remember Me Park · Eastern France
A second place,a larger one.
The Pascani shelter in Romania cannot push back its walls. Remember Me Park will be a second place, in France, to ease the pressure on the shelter and give the dogs who need it the time of one more step before their family.
Why a second place
Pascani is full.
On 21 October, a puppy was thrown over the shelter fence. In October, 102 dogs came in, 75 of them puppies, and only 11 left for their family. The shelter costs €774 a day, and its costs will not come down until it holds fewer dogs: the Park is the only way to get there.
“We have 100 dogs coming in for every 10 going out.”

What the place will change
The time each dog needs.
A step in France
Close to families, for dogs who need more time before adoption: fragile puppies, old or sick dogs, fearful dogs.
Places freed in Pascani
Each dog welcomed at the Park frees a place at the shelter to save another.
A place to meet
Adopters meet the dog before taking it home, in a calm setting, with the team who knows it.
A way back
If an adoption fails, the dog comes back to a place it knows, instead of a paid boarding kennel for lack of room.
Where the project stands
In Eastern France.
We will say where as soon as everything is final, and we will only give an opening date once the place and the funding are secured. You will be told about every step, here and by email.

A partner
Helen Woodward Animal Center.
Animal shelter and humane education center in California, partner of Remember Me France. Together with us in Paris on 17 October 2026 for “The Business of Saving Lives”, HWAC gives Remember Me Park one euro for every euro donated to the “Il vous regarde” fundraiser, up to €50,000.
How the Park is funded.
Each month, the first €20,000 of donations keep the Pascani shelter running: the vet, the team, kibble and medicine. Everything above goes to Remember Me Park.
This winter, the “Il vous regarde” fundraiser
On our fundraiser, every euro counts double: HWAC gives the same amount to Remember Me Park, up to €50,000.
In France, a donation gives a 66% tax reduction: a €50 gift costs €17.
