Important points to remember before committing to adopting or fostering a rescue dog
Our Dogs are rescued from Romania and the UK
While it is exciting to get a dog, and you want to wash, walk, play, sleep with him or her, none of this happens overnight.
You need to be patient with your dog, and this means giving them time to trust you. They may have been let down, or even hurt, by humans in the past and have no idea of your intentions.
They have been in a shelter, and some may have been sharing a kennel with another dog, this is even more likely with the current epidemic of abandoned dogs that we are seeing across the EU.
Some may not have had much human interaction
All of the dogs need someone to nurture them, which includes walking, and picking up after them, therefore you must have the physical fitness to be able to attend the dogs needs, if you do not have the physical capacity please do not apply. Please be aware that we do ask personal questions such as regarding your health during the home check, so please be prepared for this.
Because our dogs have been through so much already we ask you to seriously consider if this is something you are committed to do, with patience, love and understanding. If not please do not apply, we have had many people adopt the dogs to only return them within days, which then unsettles them and makes them withdrawn, because they have been abandoned and they do not understand why:
They could have been abandoned, by a road, in a field, at a kill shelter, born in a rescue centre.
They could be from a broken home (domestic violence).
They could be from a home due to a change in circumstances .
They could have been in a shelter from months to years .
They could have come from a Shelter, been in a home and returned back into a shelter for any number of reasons.
They may never have lived in a house before, which means they are not used to the everyday sounds and smells that a typical dog may be.
Some have never seen their reflection.
