Lizzie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around four to five years old.

Lizzie came into our care around a year ago after we met her on a trip to the Botosani public shelter in Romania. She was scarily emaciated back then and we did wonder if she would survive long enough for us to get her to the UK. She did make it onto the bus and arrived safely in her uk foster home.

Lizzie was always curious about people and happy to be around them but was initially afraid to be actually touched but is now a very affectionate and loving girl with huge enthusiasm for human contact.

Lizzie enjoys the company of other dogs and would prefer another, full time resident, dog in her forever home. She would be ok as an only dog if someone was home most of the time and she had plenty of interaction with other dogs out on walks.

Lizzie is a playful and cheery girl who enjoys her walks. She can be wary of tall men in the home until she gets to know them well. Lizzie is fine with the safe rescue cat and can live with children aged twelve plus.

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.

Whiskey is a medium sized crossbreed aged three to four years old.

We met Whiskey about eighteen months ago when we found him in an emaciated state in the Botosani public shelter. We immediately moved him to a private shelter where he would be able to eat properly and gain weight.

Eventually we were able to take him in the UK

On arrival Whiskey was very distrustful of us, but he now loves us so much he can barely contain it all . Whiskey is very playful and will need another dog in his forever home as full time resident.

He’s still wary of strangers but when he loves you he is the most loyal and affectionate boy. Whiskey walks nicely on a lead but is still a bit wary of having the lead put on and taken off, we will continue to help him grow more confident with this whilst he’s in our care.

Whiskey will need someone experienced with nervous dogs as gaining his trust initially wil take time. Once the bond is made though he is truly a dog in a million.

She can live with or without other dogs, can live with children of all ages, and has not yet been cat tested, though she may be suitable.

We met Elena in March this year when we visited the Boto?ani public shelter in Romania. She had a badly twisted front leg. She had two operations to try and fix the damaged limb, but sadly they didn’t work and it was ultimately amputated.

Elena is the most joyous dog you could ever meet. Despite her surroundings in the grim shelter she remains bubbly and upbeat.

She is friendly and affectionate and loves everyone she meets. Elena mixes well with other dogs but could also live happily as the only dog in the home. She could live with respectful children of all ages.

Cessil has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter where he has been imprisoned for at least the last couple of years.

Cessil is an affectionate and fun dog once you get to know him but is initially hand shy with strangers. Cessil loves the company of other dogs and will need at least one other dog as permanent resident in his forever home.

Cessil has initially been quite resistant to lead training but is now getting the hang of it and will just need to build up confidence with practise in his forever home. He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus.

Sara is a medium sized crossbreed born December 2021.

Sara has came into our care from Romania at a year old as her carer there was moving to the UK and she was worried for her future.

Sara is a placid and sensitive girl who can be a little cautious of new people. She quickly warms up to family though and is an affectionate and friendly girl.

Sara mixes well with other dogs but could also live as an only dog. She would need an adult family as she can be anxious around playful behaviour.

Sara can be reactive to other dogs on walks but ONLY if a figure of eight lead is not used in addition to her slip lead. This combination eliminates all reactivity and she walks beautifully.

Sara needs a calm and quiet home environment as she can be very anxious around visitors to the home. She is such a loving and sweet girl to her family but has spent three years in our care now with no offers of a home.

Hilda is a large Romanian shepherd cross. Her passport says she was born Feb 2019 but she acts a bit older than six.

We have been a part of Hilda’s life and her a part of ours for years. She was in the private shelter in Crivatu Romania the very first time we visited and stayed there until 2024.

The story of how she came to be rescued, if indeed it’s true, is too horrible to put into print so I will just say that she has been through a lot and, although understandably scared of people, treats us with nothing but gentleness.

Hilda is a large dog with a calm presence. She moves with grace and poise and is quite regal in her demeanour.

She will avoid strangers if she can but once she is used to the people in the home she will choose to be close by and always looks like she wants to come for a fuss but she’s just not quite ready yet.

When you go to her she is happy to be fussed and groomed and will fall asleep with her head on your lap.

Hilda is not keen on her walks and really doesn’t want to go for more than fifteen minutes. We are not sure if this is a crisis of confidence or if it’s a mobility issue, she’s a difficult dog to read.

She walks nicely on a lead but can panic when spooked so we are looking for a rural home for her as she will not cope with a lot of traffic or crowds.

Despite her fears Hilda is such a gentle dog, she will need a calm and quiet environment with no children under twelve and with at least one other dog.

Anyone considering adopting her must be calm and patient in gaining her trust and maybe she will never fully open up to humans due to the horrors of her past. She is fine with the safe rescue cat, but won’t look at him.

Peter and his siblings were found in a city in Romania last January. Small pups, lost and wandering among cars and all sorts of dangers. The man who found them, being a friend of a friend, asked for Roxana’s help and they were taken to her shelter.

Peter has been on our care since last July. For most of that time he was very neurotic and skittish but recently we’ve all noticed an element of him maturing and becoming a lot more confident.

He still spooks at some things but the spooky reaction is not so melodramatic and passes quickly.

Peter is a sweet boy once he knows you, he’s not ready for strangers being hands on with him but he gets used to new people so much faster now and we’re still working daily on improving his confidence.

Peter will still need an experienced adopter with the time and patience to continue with his confidence building. He will need a calm and steady household with no children.

He will need a confident dog in his forever home that will play with him as he loves the rough and tumble of his foster pack.

He has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania.

We’ve known this boy for over two years now and walked him on several trips to the shelter. He’s always been so happy to see us and a really nice boy to take out. He’s very friendly and confident.

Romeo could live very happily with a female dog or dogs but would also enjoy being the only dog in the home. He could live with respectful children aged ten plus.

Finn has come into our care recently from the Boto?ani public shelter in Romania. He is initially quite hand shy with new people but his confidence is growning daily.

He is much braver when he has an adult dog to shadow around and we would therefore need to find him a home with at least one other dog in permanent residence.

He is mixing well with the safe rescue cat and will need a home with children no younger than twelve.

He will need all the usual training and care that all pups need and adopters should expect peeing, poohing, chewing and potentially sleepless nights until work is put into training them out of it.

We believe this boy to be Rupert’s son and he’s an absolute chip off the old block with both looks and stubborn mannerisms.

Poor Ralph spent years in the Botosani public shelter in Romania, his two brothers are still there and can’t come to us until we’ve found homes for the two such similar souls that we have already!

Ralph is a sweet old soul that is learning all about his new domestic life, but he’s insistent on putting up a little bit of protest regarding “new tricks” such as walking on a lead.

He’ll do it, and he’ll enjoy the walk, but he’s just gotta tell you first that he doesn’t appreciate being restricted to going where the humans want him to go. If he wants to sniff something, he’s going to let you know, he’s just actually very amusing!

He asks for a fuss but then looks confused about why he’s asked and why he’s enjoying it, but you can see that he is . It’s a lot to get used to and he’s just through the process in his own unique way and we’re loving watching it happen.

Ralph gets on with other dogs to a point but would rather be the only dog in the home. Despite never having a bed or bedding in his life before, he’s decided he likes them and he doesn’t want to share them.

It’s all bluster and bravado but perhaps it would be easier just to let him have his own way in this one and let him be the only dog in the home, he does deserve to be spoilt after all! He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus.

Despite all the comedy antics, Ralph is so happy to be here and be around the humans who he seems to understand are just trying to love him and be his friend. His tail is wagging a lot these days and he just needs his own forever home to wag it in!
