Dotty
2 YEARS | Small
Fred
This beautiful girl and her six little ones were rescued from a public shelter, and they’re all thriving now and some re-homed. Mum is loving and gentle, and her pups were playful, sweet, and full of personality. We’d love to find a loving home for Mum!
Dotty is a little girl who has travelled from Romania and is now in the UK and settling into her foster home in Essex. She’s ready to find the loving forever home she deserves and is available for meet and greets. Dotty is very small in size with the sweetest nature. She absolutely adores people, is fantastic with other dogs, and we believe she most likely had a home once before. All she needs now is a family to love her again and give her the happy ending she deserves. Could that be you?
SMALL
When he first arrived, he was heartbreakingly thin and in poor condition, but thanks to good food, care, and lots of love, he has gained weight beautifully and is looking so much healthier. Now safe and thriving, this sweet little lad is ready to start searching for the forever home he deserves. He is fantastic with people, super friendly with other dogs, and small in size, making him the perfect companion. With his loving nature and gentle personality, he is more than ready to steal someone's heart and begin the next chapter of his life in a home of his own.

Carly
Rescued from the public shelter, this sweet boy has shown nothing but love since the day he arrived. He’s incredibly friendly, very affectionate, and not fearful at all. He’s quite small in size but has a huge heart, and we would absolutely love to find him the forever family he truly deserves. Could you be the one to give him his happy ending?
Buddy is now around 8 months old and has made an incredible journey from a Romanian public shelter to a foster home here in the UK. From the moment he was rescued at just 3 months old, Buddy was cared for in Elena's home rather than growing up in the shelter, which has helped him become such a confident, loving, and well-rounded young dog. He has now settled beautifully into his foster home in Oxfordshire, where he has adapted to home life with ease and is proving what a wonderful companion he is. Buddy is full of fun, affection, and puppy energy. He adores people, is fantastic with children and gets on brilliantly with other dogs. He is now available for meet and greets in Oxfordshire and is ready to find the forever family he's been waiting for. If you can offer Buddy the loving home he deserves, please get in touch - we know you'll fall in love with him.
6 MONTHS
Carly is a beautiful little girl of around 4 months old who is searching for her forever home. This princess has the most wonderful temperament and is amazing with people, children, dogs, and cats alike. With her sweet nature, playful personality, and loving heart, Carly would make the perfect addition to almost any family. She is still young and ready to grow up surrounded by love, safety, and happiness. Could you be the one to give this gorgeous girl the forever home she deserves?
We don’t think he would have lasted much longer in the public shelter, starved, skeleton-thin, with ribs showing. He’s safe with us now, and eventually a forever home once he’s fitter and gained some weight. He’s the sweetest little lad, fantastic with people, super friendly with other dogs, and small in size, ready to steal your heart.

Bobby
This lovely little lady is around 2 years old, short-legged, and full of love. She’s fantastic with people and gets along wonderfully with other dogs! She’s now looking for a loving forever home, could it be with you?
2 YEARS | SMALL
This lovely little gentleman is in need of a forever home. He’s small in size, with little legs and a long body, absolutely adorable! He’s very people-friendly and amazing with other dogs, making him a wonderful companion. His sister, Cherry, arrived in the UK a couple of months ago and is doing amazingly well in her new home. Now we’re hoping this little man can be just as fortunate. Please let him be the next one to find his happy ending.
2 YEARS | SMALL
Bobby is a handsome little boy estimated to be around 2 years old who is looking for his forever home. With his beautiful black, tan and white markings, fluffy chest, and big soulful eyes, Bobby is impossible not to fall in love with. He was sadly abandoned near the shelter, but thankfully he is now safe and ready to begin a new chapter. Bobby has a gentle, affectionate nature and loves being around people. He is a friendly little dog with so much love to give and would make a wonderful companion for a lucky family. After being let down once, Bobby deserves a home where he will be cherished, kept safe, and loved for the rest of his life. Could you be the one to give this gorgeous boy the happy ending he deserves?
Alfie
2 YEARS | MEDIUM
Bruno
This adorable scruffy boy is ready for adoption and is an absolute darling! He’s fantastic with people and great with other dogs. Cats haven’t been tested yet, but this can be arranged. Estimated to be around 2 years old, he’s the perfect age and ready to find his forever home. Could this charming scruff be the one for you?
2 YEARS | SMALL
Pablo
Bruno is a handsome black and white boy, just over 2 years old, looking for his true forever home. He arrived in the UK from Romania earlier this year, but sadly his first adoption isn't the right match, so he's searching once again for the loving family he deserves. Bruno has a calm, gentle nature and is much more laid-back than most dogs his age. Once he trusts you, he is incredibly affectionate, loyal, and loves nothing more than relaxing by your side. He walks beautifully on the lead, enjoys gentle outings, is highly food-motivated, and gets along well with other dogs. Because of his difficult past, Bruno can be nervous around strangers, particularly men, and may bark when he feels frightened. This is fear-based rather than aggression, and with patience and a consistent routine, he continues to grow in confidence. Bruno is looking for a calm, adult-only home with few visitors and someone experienced with nervous rescue dogs. Currently in Aberdeen, Scotland, he has so much love to give and is waiting for a patient family to help him finally feel safe and secure.
4 YEARS | MEDIUM
Pablo was rescued from the streets around 3 years ago and is still patiently waiting for a forever home to finally call his own. This handsome medium-sized boy can be a little nervous around new people at first, but he has a gentle nature and is never aggressive. With patience, understanding, and love, Pablo will grow in confidence and become a truly loyal companion. He is wonderful with the other dogs in his pen and would thrive in a calm home where he can feel safe and secure. After waiting so long, Pablo deserves the chance to experience what it truly means to be loved.
5 YEARS | LARGE
Joel
Joel is a stunning, big-hearted boy, estimated to be around 5 years old. He was found wandering the streets of Romania a year ago and is now living safely in a wonderful private foster home while he waits for his forever family. Joel is a gentle, affectionate soul who absolutely adores people. Despite only having three legs, it never slows him down - he runs, plays, and enjoys life just like any other dog. He is in great health, with recent blood tests confirming he is fit and well. He gets along well with other dogs and cats and could happily live with a small number of canine companions, although he would much rather be the centre of his humans' world. He can occasionally be a little bossy and appreciates having his own space, so he would suit a home that understands and respects his gentle boundaries. Joel also travels beautifully in the car and is a wonderful companion to have by your side. He is ready to travel to the UK for the right home and is simply waiting for someone to give him the love and security he deserves.

Sweep
Milly
Sweep is a tiny little puppy of around 10 weeks old who is desperately looking for a loving forever home. This sweet boy was found wandering alone along a main road in Romania on the way back from Lidl, far too small and vulnerable to survive on his own. Despite his rough start, Sweep is an adorable little pup with a gentle nature and so much love to give. He deserves the chance to grow up safe, warm, and surrounded by kindness. Could you be the one to give this tiny boy the happy future he deserves?
2 YEARS | SMALL
Milly was found on the streets desperately trying to keep her puppy safe until Elena rescued them both and brought them to safety. Now safe at the shelter, Milly is hoping for something even more special, a forever home of her own. Estimated to be around 2 years old and small in size, Milly is a lovely, sociable girl who gets along wonderfully with the other dogs around her and enjoys human company too. She hasn’t yet been cat tested, but this can be arranged. There is something so special about this sweet little girl, and everyone who meets her falls in love with her gentle nature. After all she has been through, Milly deserves a family who will cherish her forever. Could there be a Milly-shaped space in your heart?
Beau

Mara
Beau is a beautiful young girl who was found alone in the Lidl car park by Cristea Elena, a case of being in the right place at exactly the right time. Thankfully, Elena spotted her and brought her to safety before anything could happen to her. Now safe at the shelter, Beau is hoping her luck will continue with a loving forever home of her own. This sweet girl has her whole future ahead of her and deserves a family who will cherish her, keep her safe, and show her what it truly means to be loved. Could you be the one to give Beau the happy ending she deserves?

Nova
Mara is a lovely little girl, estimated to be around 4 years old, who is now looking for a forever home after being rescued from the public shelter.

She has a gentle nature and enjoys being around people, making her a wonderful companion. After everything she has been through, she deserves a home where she will be loved, cherished, and never abandoned again.

Small in size and full of charm, Poppy is a lovely, sweet-natured girl who deserves so much more than the life she has known so far. She is now ready to leave her past behind and find a family who will love and cherish her forever. After such a difficult start, all Poppy wants is a place to call home. Could you be the one to give this gorgeous little girl the happy ending she deserves?
Milan is a handsome black and white boy, estimated to be around 7 months old, who is currently being cared for in a wonderful private foster home in Romania while he waits for his forever family. He is a sweet, friendly youngster with a lovely nature and so much potential. Like any puppy his age, Milan is eager to learn about the world and is ready to enjoy all the adventures that come with growing up - walks, training, new experiences, and lots of love. Full of promise and affection, Milan is looking for a family who will guide him as he grows into a happy, confident adult dog. He is ready to travel to the UK for the right home and can't wait to find the people he can call his own.
