Frankie is a 1-year-old female Staffy cross Lurcher. She is a loving, affectionate dog who absolutely adores people. She loves cuddles, enjoys being close to her owners, and has a sweet, gentle nature with humans.

Unfortunately, Frankie is reactive towards other animals, particularly dogs. She becomes very anxious and overreacts when she sees them, which has made walks and everyday life increasingly difficult to manage. Because of this, I believe she would be happiest in a home where she is the only pet and with owners who have land and have experience managing or continuing training with reactive dogs.

This has been an incredibly difficult decision, and it has not been made lightly. I love Frankie very much, but I want to do what is best for her and ensure she has the opportunity to live a happy, fulfilling life in an environment that suits her needs. She is vaccinated, microchipped, not neutered. She is house trained and we have been doing other training with her.

Our senior citizens make very good adopters for so many of our elderly dogs. They have time a comfortable home and plenty of affection to give.

However, a young dog is not a good fit to this type of home. Even a well behaved young dog could still be active past the owner's ability to walk it as much as the dog needs or even outlive its owner.

So whilst we would like to find everyone a dog to have as a loyal companion we would urge you to take into consideration the age of the dog you are considering and what you are capable of giving it in the way of exercise now and in the future and will that meet the dog's needs.

There is also a shortage of smaller dogs to meet this need. There is however, more choice in bigger dogs that are older. They can make loyal and gentle companions and sedate not boisterous or needing to walk for hours/miles a day.

So many older dogs are looking for homes and passed over because they are deemed too old or too big yet would make ideal companions for some of our senior citizens.

This Is sweet Léo ♥️

And his history: 😢

💙 Leo 💙 Hopes to Be Loved

Today, we want to tell you about Leo—one of those souls who has been deeply hurt. One of those dogs who no longer expects much from life. One of those who have known the worst, yet still choose to trust humans.

Leo knew the hand that hit him, the voice that inspired fear, the smell of alcohol, and a life surrounded by drugs far more often than he ever knew kindness. He was abandoned twice, left alone in the middle of a field. Twice, he was thrown away from everything he had ever known.

And twice, Leo went back to the very person who had hurt him.

He was guided by something stronger than fear, stronger than pain: love.

Despite the beatings, despite the betrayal, Leo always found his way home.

Because dogs, even when broken, remain loyal. Because they love unconditionally—even those who have never loved them the way they deserved.

Today, Leo is finally safe at Andreea’s shelter, and she has promised him that no one will ever hurt him again.

Leo is a gentle 10-11 year-old dog weighing 22/23kg. He is sensitive, and deeply scarred by his past. He has learned to be wary of hands that reach out too quickly, of sudden movements he doesn’t understand.

Leo isn’t looking for the perfect family.

He is looking for someone patient. Someone gentle. Someone who won’t try to force him, but will simply allow him to exist at his own pace. Someone who understands that behind his silence and cautious nature lies a huge heart—one that is tired of hoping for nothing.

Part of our mission is to give even the “less easy” dogs a chance to be adopted and to offer every one of them the hope of being loved for who they truly are.

Somewhere, we truly believe, there is someone who will love Leo exactly as he deserves. Someone who will heal him without rushing him, love him without conditions, and finally give this weary old heart the peace it has never known.

Leo has never stopped loving.

He is simply waiting for someone who, this time, will never abandon him.

Anton is looking for a home 💙

📍I am currently living at Andreea’s shelter in Romania 🇷🇴

Anton is a truly loving little dog who craves affection and cuddles. He is on the smaller side and would be the perfect companion for a retired person or someone looking for a calm, devoted friend. 🥰

He has a rather dominant personality and therefore cannot be placed with another male dog.

💕🐾 Beautiful Arthur is ready for home of his very own 💕🐾

Arthur is an absolute sweetheart. 7 years old and weighing just 16kg, this lovely boy was rescued from a kill shelter where he spent 3 years of his life living in the most wretched conditions.
He is so happy now, enjoying fresh air and walks with grass under his feet.
He’s friendly and affectionate and good with other dogs and cats too. He has a lovely nature and will make a wonderful companion or addition to a family home. After the waste of three years of his life, we would love to see him settled in a home of his own as soon as possible. He is ready to travel and could be here in August if he has an adoption or foster offer.
Please get in touch if you are interested in this dear boy.

❤️🐈❤️🐈‍⬛❤️ Bijoux loves cats, children and other dogs ❤️🐈❤️🐈‍⬛❤️

⭐️He is a little star⭐️

Bijoux is yet another dog who was found in a terrible state wandering the streets alone, lost and confused and hair so long he couldn’t see. That was then - but now he is in a lovely foster home in Romania where he lives with other dogs and cats and gentle children.
He loves people with all his heart and especially when he is having cuddles and attention. He enjoys his walks too. Bijoux has a happy, friendly nature and will be a lovely companion
or addition to a family.
He will be ready to come here in August but needs a forever home or a foster home before we can book his transport. He is around 5 years old.
Please contact us if you are interested in fostering or adopting Bijoux.

💕🐾 Update - our gorgeous boy Teddy has been reserved for adoption 🐾💕

As you can see, Teddy is a stunning boy, calm and gentle too. He was found out in the countryside in the middle of nowhere, most likely abandoned. He had a very nasty wound on his neck where he had been tied with rope by whoever originally owned him. In spite of clearly having had a bad life before he was rescued, Teddy is still friendly and affectionate and has put his past behind him. He is a lovely happy boy and fine with other dogs. Although he hasn’t lived closely with cats he hasn’t reacted when he has seen them in the shelter either.
Teddy walks happily on a harness and would love a home where he can relax in the garden or on a comfy chair after a good walk with lots of interesting smells and places to explore.
Teddy is just two years old and weighs 20kg. He is ready to travel and just needs a foster or permanent home so we can book his travel from Romania. Please get in touch if you are interested in this gorgeous boy. ‎

Eric loves his toys, he empties his toy box every morning into his bed and then gives them all a good sort out 😍

Eric had an offer of a home from a lovely lady today but sadly she has another dog to stay on a regular basis and eric does need to be the only pet. He is still looking for his forever home.

This Is an Appeal for a very special person to open their heart and home to Eric who is a very special dog. Eric is totally blind. He actually had to have both his eyes removed due to extremely painful glaucoma.
He has mapped out the house and garden where he is being fostered and gets around fine and loves to play with his toys, he is in fact a happy loving and cuddly boy with people but is extremely stressed by the other 5 dogs in the house. In turn they have become extremely stressed by his presence too and this has become an untenable situation for all concerned. Eric's passport states that he is 11 but his mum says he behaves like an 8 year old and loves his walks and sniffs happily around them. Eric needs a home without other pets, he reacts to animals he cannot see or work out. He is so loving and cuddly with people though he would make a wonderful companion for someone who wanted a soul mate. He is currently in Cornwall waiting for a calm loving new home to spend the rest of his days
