Meet Hattie,

An incredibly well behaved girl that is going to make someone a very lucky owner. We really hope she does not get overlooked due to her colour. She was found nearly starved to death in a forest (common for pet owners to dump their dogs there).Since being with the rescue for a number of months she has gained weight and is now 17kg, 50-60cm and a healthy girl.

Hattie is no older than 2 and is by a mile one of the most loving dogs at the shelter. She adores humans and enjoys a good fuss. She is great with all the other animals on site (dogs and cats) and no one has a bad word to say about her.

We would like to see Hattie in a home that can give her a good level of exercise. Adopters need to understand that ex street dogs need time, patience and training to settle in.

Hattie is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel to a UK forever home. Please get in touch with us if you think you can offer this lovely girl a place to call home.

Is this the countries unluckiest dog?! she has been in rescue for two years!!!!

Calling all GSD lovers that really want to truly rescue a dog... meet Shelly. She has just turned 5, is 32kg and fit and healthy.She has watched so many dogs come and go and still not one person has asked for her! She really deserves a place to call home.

She is a cracker of a dog who has so much love to give. She adores her handlers. Shelly generally likes all humans (especially women), can be a bit shy of men for 5 mins if they intimidate her but if you ignore her she soon gives over and comes for a fuss. She is a typical GSD and loyal to the core and takes pride in being a companion animal. Shelly has just learnt to play with toys and likes a little play with some of the other dogs in foster. She is generally playful girl and has a fair bit of bounce to her when she is excited to see you or wants to play.

Shelly is toilet trained, lead trained, neutered vaccinated and comes with her own pet passport. She arrived with us extremely thin and underweight and now she has become fit and healthy.She knows sit, wait, paw and walks nicely on a lead.

Shelly comes from a kill shelter where dogs are bundled into tiny kennels and left to fend for themselves so can be unsure of large breeds new dogs (dogs she has met before (including big ones) and introduced to properly she is great with). On walks she will ignore passing dogs in the distance but any dogs that come up in her face when she is on lead she becomes vocal becomes vocal (shelly has never bitten one and she has met some really bouncy, in her face dogs). Once the initial vocalisation is over and you let her go and play she is fine but again, she needs strong handler that can accept her GSD nature and that she can be gobby with other dogs.

Anyone who adopts Shelly will get free support from our behaviourist. Her ideal home will be with someone who has experience in GSDs or has had a rescue dog with some small issues before. She needs careful guidance when settling in and a firm owner who can put her at ease when she feels overwhelmed. She is crate trained and is crated when visitors enter and let out once everyone has come in and settled - adopters MUST continue this routine with her as she feels safe and secure this way and really enjoys new people when she feels safe. A home with a LARGE high energy bouncy dog will not be suited to shelly. She is a calm girl that needs either another clam dog non, reactive dog, a small dog or to be the only dog.

In the right hands, this girl is going to flourish. Please get in touch with us if you would like to come and meet Shelly!

Meet Bella,

A lovely girl who has sadly found herself needing a forever home due to her owners ill health. Bella has been handed to rescue with the best intentions from her owner who has sadly not been able to walk her for around 1 year.

Bella is a really really lovely girl. She is 25kg, 5 years young, healthy, vaccinated, chipped and neutered. This is a dog that is desperate to please and who really enjoys giving you cuddles and kisses.

Bella is a little over bouncy (perhaps due to the lack of exercise) and can jump up when visitors arrive (she is currently behind a door/gate and then allowed out to greet nicely and this works well for her. She is used to living with other dogs and can be left alone without trouble..she would be fine as the only dog too. Her favourite things to do include giving kisses and chewing plastic flower pots (she doesn't chew anything else).

Her owner was told she is part husky when she rescued her. The only husky we can see in her is her husky howl that she occasionally gives when she is excited.

Bella walks very well on a lead (although at times a little scatty due to being excited to be out) and comes back when called. She is treat orientated so will be easily trained. She can sit and comes back when called. She on the odd occasion can be vocal with dogs on walks if she can't get to them (we think perhaps over excitement and lack of stimulation) . She has not ever lived with cats. She is good with all children but we would prefer older ones as she could easily knock a toddler over with her bounciness.

Bella requires a home that can understand she has not been walked for a year and could potentially have some small hurdles to overcome. She is loyal to the core and will make someone a great companion.

Please get in touch if you would like to come and meet Bella. Her photos do not do her justice

Meet Charlie,

Our lovely scruff bucket who is a complete joy to be around. He is 1.5 years old, 20kg and 50-60cm tall. He was found wandering the streets aimlessly looking for some love. Can you see the love in his eyes 🙂

Charlie is a very active dog that loves to run around and play (with both humans and other dogs), therefore he requires an active home that has plenty of time for him. Charlie is a great face licker and a fantastic companion animal, he likes to please, be close and will be the most loyal friend. He will work well in a multi-dog home or equally as the only pet. He can be cat tasted on request.

Charlie has never been in a home so requires an adopter with the time and patience to settle in and train an ex-street dog.

He is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home. If you want to help us continue saving dogs like Charlie please follow the donation link below!

Say hola to Radish,

Yes you guessed it, Radish is a border collie mix. She is between 1.5 and 2 years old, weighs in at around 15 - 17kg and is 50cm tall - so she won't take up much room on the sofa! She was found wandering the streets with no place to call home.

Radish is really friendly with people and enjoys a good fuss and cuddle. She is also good with other dogs and would slot in well into a multi-pet home, she would also be equally fine as the only dog. Radish can be cat tested on request.

We would like to see Radish in a home that can offer her a good level of exercise and stimulation. She requires an adopter with the time and patience to settle in and train an ex- street dog (Radish has never been inside a home before).

Please get in touch with us if you can offer this lovely lady a forever home of her very own! She is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home!

A 2 year old chap who is a bundle of love. He is an extremely affectionate dog who really enjoys being fussed. He gives the best kisses!

Tiki isn't a big boy, 7kg, and fully grown. He is good with other dogs and is also fine with cats so would slot in well into a multi-pet home. He will be equally fine as the only dog.

Tiki has had a tough past living life on the cold streets so needs an adopter with the time and patience to settle in and train an ex street dog.

This chap really will not disappoint and in a patient home will most definitely turn into a wonderful companion animal.

**AVAILABLE TO MEET IN BEDFORDSHIRE**

Meet our not so little lady, Ponyo,

This girl is a Bucovina Shepherd cross that was found at a very young age on the streets with no place to call home. She will be a large dog and is currently 20 weeks old and 12kg. Any future adopters considering her will need to be experienced with large breeds and have a read up about the breed mix.

Ponyo is a really playful girl and a typical puppy that likes to run around and play with her doggy friends. She has a nice nature and is happy to greet staff when they come to her kennel. She will require a fair bit of exercise and stimulation.

Ponyo would slot in well into a multi-dog home but we be equally fine as the only dog as long as she gets to meet dogs out on walks.

Adopters will be under contract to attend local puppy classes with Ponyo to ensure that she grows into a well rounded dog. She is an ex street dog so will need time, patience and basic training when entering a new home.

This girl is absolutely stunning and is going to grow into a true beauty of a dog who will make someone a fantastic companion animal. She can be cat tested on request.

Please get in touch with us if you think Ponyo can be your new furever friend. She is in foster in Bedfordshire. If you can't adopt please share and consider donating via the link below to enable us to continue saving the lives of dogs like Ponyo.

Meet 4 month old Opal,

A little girl who has been with the rescue some time now. Opal is a fantastic face licker and kisser and just adores all humans.

Opal is a highly playful dog and is a typical pup that wants to play with other dogs and explore her surroundings. She has a good bit of energy so a home that can offer her a good level of exercise is ideal. Opal is great with other dogs but is protective of her food around them (quite normal behaviour for a street dog), so will need to be fed separately from other dogs and then slowly be integrated into feeding time. It is a behaviour that can be remedied quite easily with a bit of effort. She is non-aggressive but will make it known she wants her food to stay hers and that she won't be sharing it!

She is also good with cats but again, wants to play with them, so any cats in the same home as her need to be very dog savvy. Opal would slot in well into a home where she has another dog to play with . She would equally be just as fine as the only dog but adopters would need to make sure she has some doggy friends on walks to play with.

She is 4-5kg so will not grow to be a big girl (a smaller medium dog most likely). Adopters will be under contract to enrol her to their local puppy class to ensure she grows into a well rounded pooch. It is important adopters also understand she will need all her basic training and are mindful of the face that she has never been in a home environment.

She will make someone a complete cracker of a dog! Please get in touch with us if you can offer her a place to call home! If you want to help us continue saving lives please donate via the link below.

Opal is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home.

Meet our 3 legged wonder, Chassis, named in memory of a very special survivor now in doggy heaven,

Found with one leg cut off and the other badly smashed up. She has since received lots of medical care and rehabilitation and has 90% healed and is ready to fly the nest. Chassis has no future health issues with her front leg, she runs and walks like a normal dog, plays with the other pups and the wound is nearly all healed. The only thing adopters need to be mindful of is not letting her get over weight (like most 3 legged dogs). X-Rays of her leg will be given to any adopter for their piece of mind.

Chassis is 7 months old and around 7/8 kg so will not grow into a big girl at all! She is overly friendly with humans and can sometimes pee with excitement (something that will get better with age and being out of kennels). She can be a little talkative when she wants something, like when waiting for her dinner or wanting a play.

Chassis is great with dogs and cats and would slot in well into a multi-pet home.

She requires an adopter who is mindful of her previous abuse and the fact she was a street dog and who has lots of time and patience to settle in and provide her with all of her basic puppy training. Adopters will be under contract to attend their local puppy class with her to ensure that she continues to grow into a well-rounded dog.

She is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home

Please get in touch with us if you would like to be a part of her new chapter

Meet a VERY special golden oldie, Red.

He is 10 years young and boy has he had a tough life. He was found on the cold streets almost dead - we have not added the before photos to his gallery as they are too distressing but anyone wanting them can drop us a message and we will send them over. He was known to be living on the streets in poor condition for about a year! After months of nursing he is now back in shape and ready to find his forever family. He is currently in kennels....no place for a dog like Red.

He is named Red as his fur has always had a red tinge to it that doesn't go away, we think he must have found himself a place to sleep safely at night with red dust or building site materials perhaps. Red is really a LOVELY old man he is very gentle and kind. He appreciated every small thing done for him and really would enjoy a life out of kennels.

Red spends most of his time asleep and likes to potter around occasionally outside. He does not require a high level of exercise. He is also fine with both dogs and cats although we would prefer to see him in a home that doesn't have really young bouncy dogs as he is not the playful type and a not so busy home with lots of loud children. He really just needs a calmer, quiet environment. He is max 15kg

Due to his background, Red isn't one to seek lots of attention , he mostly just keeps himself to himself and appreciates anything that comes his way. He accepts us giving him daily supplements without any bother and has never shown any aggression. We suspect Red is going a tad deaf as he doesn't hear as well as some of the other dogs. His general health is back up to scratch but we would like future adopters to continue to give him supplements for his joints and kidneys (we will send recommendations) to ensure his health doesn't deteriorate.

Anyone considering Red needs to think carefully if they can afford his supplements and also understand his behaviour has been best evaluated by the rescue and may slightly change when out of a kennel environment.

Is there anyone out there who can give a sad old man a reason to smile again??

Get in touch with us if that person is you! We have lots more media of him also. Red is in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home

ADOPTED

Meet Larry, a 3-year-old Rottweiler cross who is GOLDEN DOG. His behaviour is a solid 9.5/10, a true gem of a rescue.

Larry has a happy go lucky personality and is happy to see any human. He has the waggiest tail and just wants love and affection. He will go up to any human on a walk and ask for fuss, he is always happy to see on coming dogs and people! Larry is also very good around children. He has shown to be good with dogs of all sizes and just wants to greet them and play with them... he would make a good addition to a multi-pet home. Larry is also great with cats and is house and lead trained. He now walks off lead nicely with is foster parents with some very good recall!

Larry is 60cm tall and 25kg. He travels fine in the car and is fine left alone. Larry is VERY food orientated (and does a little tippy toe dance when waiting for his dinner) so easily trained and his favourite things to do are check out what you are eating and stand on his hind legs (where he lost the 0.5 of a point for behaviour!) and stealing shoes and putting them in his bed (not chewing them).

Larry is not the biggest fan of stairs in the home, something that will need a bit of work if adopters want him to go upstairs..we are sure this will come pretty quickly with treats!

Whoever adopts Larry is going to be very lucky he really is a complete love bug with an amazing personality!

He requires an adopter who can offer him a good level of exercise, time playing with other dogs (whether in the home or out on walks) and generally lots of love!

Please get in touch with us if you would like to come and meet this fella!

Meet our two little monkeys, Gonzo and Elroy,

Both are brothers, and 12 weeks old. They were found as newborn strays with their mother (also in our care). These two chaps are great fun and are typical kittens....they love to play and interact with toys. Both Gonzo and Elroy are good with other cats and also dogs. They have gown up in a shelter environment so have been well socialised with the other residents.

These two would slot in well into a muti-pet home or equally ok as the only animals. They have no health conditions, will be small cats and are litter trained.

They require an adopter with cat flap access and no busy roads.

If you want to add some fun into your life and adopt these two cuties drop us a message!

They are in our Romanian shelter and ready to travel direct to a UK forever home in July (When they have reached 16 weeks)
