Despite having a difficult start in life, Cassie has remained loving and devoted to the people she trusts. She forms very strong bonds with her family and clearly enjoys being close to those she loves.

Cassie is described as a real clown at times and has a playful and entertaining nature. She enjoys playing and has a fun side to her personality that shines through once she feels comfortable.

Although she is a large and powerful dog, she genuinely believes she is a lapdog and loves affection and companionship from her people. She also travels well, which could make outings and journeys easier for her future owners.

As a Cane Corso, Cassie would benefit from a calm and structured environment with clear boundaries and guidance. Like many guarding breeds, she needs an experienced home with someone confident in handling large dogs.

She would thrive with owners who understand the breed’s needs and can provide stability, routine, and ongoing companionship. A secure garden would also be important so she has a safe space to relax and exercise.

Cassie must be the only pet in the home, as she is not suitable to live with cats or other dogs. She is also looking for an adult-only home where she can feel secure and settled in a quieter environment.

Her ideal adopters would be committed to giving her the exercise, attention, and leadership she requires while also appreciating her affectionate and devoted nature.

In return, Cassie is likely to become an incredibly loyal companion who gives endless love to her family.

She is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and parasite treated. Cassie will also come with five weeks of free insurance, helping her future owners begin her adoption journey with support already in place.

With the right experienced home, she has the potential to thrive and fully enjoy the stable and loving life she deserves.

Cassie is now waiting for someone willing to see beyond her difficult past and offer her the secure forever home she has been searching for.

Duncan was rescued from a kill shelter in Romania. He has been in a private shelter since then but we are now delighted to have welcomed him to the UK.

Duncan is a sleepy boy who just loves the fact that he now has comfortable beds to sleep on and will quite happily snooze away his hours in the blissful knowledge that he is now safe from harm.

He is mixing with other dogs in his foster home but in all honesty would prefer it if they weren’t there. He could live with another dog with a similar temperament that didn’t pester him.

He’s happy to have a brief hello and a tail wag and then both parties go about their business. He wasn’t at all phased by the safe rescue cat.

Duncan would like a calm and quiet retirement home to live out his senior years in peace. He can manage short walks for a change of scenery but doesn’t want to venture far because he has beds that need to be slept on at home now!

He would prefer an adult home but would be ok with visiting children as long as they respected his need for peace and quiet and snoozes. He is a friendly and affectionate boy with his humans in between naps

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog.

If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs).

The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period. Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night).

Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a back-up safety measure.

The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm.

Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted.

Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer.

Retractable / extendable leads must never be used on our dogs.

Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a crate.

Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.

If you are interested please message.

We discovered this absolute beauty queen in the Botosani public shelter when we visited in March. It’s taken a few weeks for her turn to come to arrive in the UK, she’s here now and ready for a lucky adopter to come and snap her up!

Lyric is a sweet and gentle girl with a cheeky side that’s just beginning to emerge. After an initial short spell of hand shyness she soon learns to trust and is an affectionate and attentive companion.

She can live with or without another dog in her forever home and would be suitable to live with respectful children aged ten plus.

If ever a dog deserves a change of luck and oodles of love it’s this one. She was found limping and starving by the side of a road in Romania.

Her hip was broken and she had a bullet in her leg where she’d also been shot. She was rescued by a friend of ours and taken to a vet.

Her hip was broken and she had surgery to fix this, the shot gun pellet was left as it was decided it wasn’t causing harm where it is. As if that wasn’t enough, her blood tests showed that she also had heartworm. She was treated for this too.

You could argue her luck began to change when she was found by someone who would actually help her and save her….. but the change isn’t complete until we find her forever home and family.

Megan is now in the UK and is an absolute delight. Goodness only knows why she still loves people after all she’s been through but she really does.

She is friendly, affectionate, gentle and just a pure joy. She gets on really well with other dogs but could also be the only dog in the home. She could live with respectful children aged ten plus.

Following her rescue, she tested positive for heartworm. She has since completed successful treatment and is doing well.

As a precaution, she will continue on a routine monthly anti-parasitic tablet, which will be provided and sent with her to her adoptive home. There will be no cost to adopters for this ongoing care.

As a result, an urgent foster home or, ideally, a permanent adoptive home is now needed for him. Despite the sudden change in circumstances, Thanos is described as a dog with a wonderful character and plenty of potential in the right home.

He can be a little shy when first meeting new people or entering unfamiliar situations. However, once given time and patience, his lovely nature begins to shine through.

Thanos enjoys the company of other dogs and particularly likes playing and interacting with them. Having canine companionship appears to help him feel more comfortable and secure.

Because of his slightly shy nature, Thanos would do best in an experienced foster or adoptive home. A calm and understanding environment would help him continue building confidence at his own pace.

He would especially benefit from living with another friendly and well-balanced dog, as this could provide reassurance and encouragement while he settles into his new surroundings.

With the right support, he has every chance to grow into a happy and confident companion.

Thanos has already been vaccinated, microchipped, blood tested, and neutered, meaning much of his essential veterinary care has already been completed. He is now simply waiting for someone willing to offer him stability, patience, and kindness.

A secure and loving home would allow him to leave uncertainty behind and begin enjoying the life every dog deserves. His affectionate personality and enjoyment of other dogs could make him a rewarding addition to the right household.

Although his current situation is urgent, Thanos appears to have many positive qualities that would make him a wonderful companion over time.

He needs people who understand that shy dogs often need patience and reassurance while settling into a new home. In return, he is likely to form a strong bond with those who give him the opportunity to feel safe and loved.

Thanos is now hoping for a second chance with a family willing to help him continue building confidence and enjoy a brighter future.

Lol has joined us recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. The first thing you need to know about him as that he ‘grins’.

At first you have to look twice as it can be mistaken for a snarl but he just grins every time you speak to him. This, combined with his under shot jaw, makes him a uniquely cute chap that we just had to name Lol because he appears to be laughing.

Somewhere along the line he has also lost most or all of the sight in one eye.

Lol is the most cuddly and affectionate boy. He can be submissive at first and shows signs of an abusive past as he will cower at sudden moves and sounds. He gets on very nicely with the other dogs in his foster home but could also live as the only dog.

He would like a quietish and calm household with no children under the age of twelve.

Her affectionate and sociable personality makes her a lovely companion for a family willing to offer her a caring and secure home.

After spending time living in kennels, Fern is now hoping to leave that life behind and finally experience the comfort and stability of a forever home.

She is described as a happy and gentle girl who gets along well with those around her.

Fern appears to have a friendly temperament and enjoys companionship, which suggests she would thrive in a home where she can receive plenty of attention and affection.

Being a young dog, she still has lots of potential to continue learning and settling into family life. She would benefit from adopters who are patient and committed to helping her adjust to a new environment.

Fern is suitable to live with other dogs, so she could happily share her home with a canine companion. However, she is not suitable to live with cats, meaning she will need a cat-free household.

She is also suitable to live with older children, making her best suited to a calmer family setting with children who understand how to behave respectfully around dogs. Her gentle and friendly nature suggests she could become a loyal and loving family pet.

Before going to her new home, Fern will be vaccinated, microchipped, and blood tested. She has not yet been neutered due to her age, but this may need to be arranged once she is old enough.

Full rescue backup will be provided to support both Fern and her future adopters throughout the rehoming process. A home check will also apply to ensure she is placed in a safe and appropriate environment.

Fern is currently based in Cyprus but is able to travel abroad for the right home. She is searching for a family willing to give her the opportunity to enjoy a happy and secure future.

With her friendly personality and affectionate nature, Fern has all the qualities needed to become a wonderful companion. She deserves a home where she can leave kennel life behind and enjoy the love, comfort, and stability every dog should have.

Fern is now ready to begin the next chapter of her life with people who will truly care for her.

Ivy also loves being around other dogs and appears to gain confidence and comfort from canine company. After spending time in kennels, she is now ready to leave that environment behind and begin a new chapter in a loving home.

She is described as a sweet-natured girl who would suit a family willing to continue giving her care, patience, and affection. Ivy is looking for a warm and secure environment where she can settle properly and enjoy life as a cherished family companion.

Her friendly personality and affectionate nature suggest she bonds well with humans and enjoys attention from those around her. She is still young, which means she has plenty of time to continue learning and developing into a wonderful adult dog.

Ivy is suitable to live with other dogs, making her a good match for a multi-dog household. However, she is not suitable to live with cats, so any future home would need to be cat-free.

She can live with older children, indicating that she would likely do best in a calmer environment with children who understand how to interact respectfully with dogs.

Her gentle temperament makes her an appealing companion for adopters looking for a friendly and loving pet.

She will be vaccinated, microchipped, and blood tested before going to her new home. Ivy has not yet been neutered due to her young age, but this will likely need to be addressed when she is old enough.

Full rescue support will also be provided to help her settle into her adoptive home successfully. A home check will be required as part of the adoption process to ensure that she is placed in a safe and suitable environment.

Although Ivy is currently based in Cyprus, she is able to travel abroad for the right home. She is waiting for a family willing to offer her the stability, care, and kindness she deserves after kennel life.

With her affectionate personality and sociable nature, Ivy has the potential to become a loyal and loving companion. She would benefit greatly from a home where she can continue building confidence and enjoying regular companionship.

Ivy is now ready to begin her new life with a family committed to giving her the happy future she deserves.

Badger has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. He arrived there last month when we were on a visit, brought in by the dog catchers.

Badger is a brilliant character who gets on with everyone and everything. He is friendly and affectionate and would fit easily into most homes.

He can live with or without other dogs and is fine with cats.

He could live with respectful children of any age.

Despite her difficult start, Jess is such a sweet little dog and everyone who meets her falls in love. She is incredibly friendly and affectionate, always looking to be close to people and snuggle up for some company.

When it comes to her daily routine, Jess walks beautifully on the lead. She does not require a huge amount of exercise and is perfectly happy to potter around at her own pace.

She is generally easy-going, well-behaved, and travels very well in the car, making her a wonderful companion for outings.

Adopters should be aware that Jess may need a little help and patience with her housetraining as she settles into a new environment. Because of her history, she could possibly live with another dog provided that introductions are successful.

While we are unsure if she has had much exposure to children in the past, we feel she could live with children aged ten and over.

I may be able to live with cats

I may be able to live with another dog

I need teaching its ok to be ablone

I love fuss and attention
