About Us
We are comprised of a group of dedicated volunteers who simply do it for the love of the dogs.
The vast majority of our dogs are rescued from the streets and shelters of Romania where they suffer unimaginable hardship, neglect and cruelty.
We also wherever possible help to rehome locally based English dogs.
We have a small team of mainly Wiltshire based volunteer foster carers who start new arrivals on their way to a better life by taking them in to their homes, teaching them ground rules, house training, how to walk on a lead etc and assess them for the type of home they are suited to.
Foster
Fostering a dog can be a very rewarding, heart warming experience but does require commitment, empathy and understanding.
Most of our dogs have never lived in a home or been walked on a lead. To begin with everything can be completely overwhelming for them.
Foster carers get them used to home life, teach them house rules, toilet train and lead train them. Most importantly they help them build a bond with people and teach them how to trust.
To foster you need to live within about an hour of our base in Trowbridge, Wiltshire, have a very secure garden and be home all day.
In most cases we cannot place new arrivals with children under 12. We cannot usually cat test dogs, but most of our dogs get on well with other dogs and it greatly benefits them to be in foster with a resident dog.
We are always here to support and advise you. All necessary vet fees are covered by us and food etc can be supplied if required.
