About Us
Welcome to our Rescue!
We are a not for profit organisation who aim to find safe, happy, forever homes for dogs and cats in need. Originally and still predominantly a Romanian rescue we have also branched out to help dogs and cats from other countries e.g. Bosnia and Greece ! We also continue to give rescue space to UK a surrendered dogs and cats, please message if this is something you require help with, we try and help if space is available. Based in the UK, with foster homes all over.
Edit: please note our email address has recently changed, please find our up to date contact on the contact us page.
Why We Help
Stray dogs and cats are a big problem in Romania. After a lot of dogs were
abandoned in the 80's, their numbers exploded due to not being
neutered and lack of education. After the numbers grew and
grew, the government organised a mass cull which led to the
deaths of around 300,000 dogs. They brought in a law which
states that any stray dog caught, is to be killed after 14 days of
being brought in to public shelters, if they have not found a home.
The public shelters are nothing short of horrific. Overcrowded and
literal hell for the dogs. They get little to no food, they live in
squalid conditions. They do not get vet treatment. The weather in
Romania can be extreme. From boiling hot temperatures in the
summer of up to 40 degrees, to - 15 degrees in winter. These
public shelters do not have heating or cooled air. These dogs often
die of heatstroke and dehydration, or they freeze to death, often
frozen to the ground where they lay. The dog wardens and people
that work in these shelters have no compassion and dogs very
often die at their hands. It is not uncommon for people to go out
of their way to aim for the dogs when driving. A lot of dogs get
injured or killed this way. The situation is not helped as a lot of dog
owners do not bother to get their dogs neutered, and when
pregnancy does occur, they end up abandoning the puppies
alone. Most of the time, they do not get found in time, they die
from starvation or untreated illnesses. The ones that do, are
sometimes lucky and get taken to people like the ones we work
with. They take them in, feed and get vet care for them, along with
countless other dogs they look after, that are waiting to be
reserved and get a new home
Nothing will change until people are educated about neutering
and the government put an end to the barbaric laws. We are
proud to sponsor spay campaigns in Romania, as this will not end
until the dogs are neutered and the cycle is stopped. We do our
best to help as many dogs over there, even if we cannot bring
them over to the UK just yet, we send over food and supplies and
pay for vet treatments etc for them.
What We Do
We help as many dogs and cats as we can. We do not shy away from the
oldies, the disabled, the ones needing extra care and ongoing
medical treatment. We do not just bring over the cute fluffy
puppies and kittens that are easy to home. We believe that every dog
deserves a warm, safe place to call home.
We work with a select few rescuers over in Romania that we trust
and help them by finding homes for the dogs over in the UK. We
also send flea/worming treatments, food for the dogs and funds
towards their shelter upkeep to these lovely people who use their
spare time, and wages to look after these poor dogs. We are proud
to be currently raising funds towards helping one of our rescuers
build their own spay and neuter clinic. This will help SO many
more dogs in the long run.
Several members of the team have been out to Romania to visit the shelters and our rescuers, volunteering and seeing first hand why we do what we do!
We have a great network of fosters all over the UK where these
dogs go to get assessed before being advertised for their new
homes. We couldn't do this without them, so if this is something
you think you would be able to help us with, please do read
about fostering and get in touch.
We ensure that all our dogs are health checked, are up to date
with their vaccinations, flead wormed, come with a pet passport,
microchipped and neutered if they are old enough.
