The adoption donation we ask for is a minimum of £400.00 – this literally covers the preparation of each dog for travel and the transport costs. ALL dogs are neutered (if old enough), vaccinated, microchipped, vet checked, had worm and flea treatment, brucellosisi tested, will have a health certificate and hold a Pet Passport – all dogs are registered with Petrac and transferred into owners name and contact details. It frequently costs us more to bring over a dog. We use fundraising to cover any extra costs.

Yes !! we welcome a visit or visits to meet a fostered dog before the dog is taken on trial. This meet and greet can be at the fosterer's home (mostly located in Yorkshire and Linconshire) or we may suggest a suitable venue where you can meet the dog you are interested in and possibly go out for a short walk. If you have children or other dogs to consider you may wish to arrange a second or even third meeting before committing. We aim to make the transision as smooth as possible for both dog and humans.

All our previously-fostered dogs go on a minimum two week trial basis – if either party is not happy with how the dog is adjusting to their new home then the dog will be returned to the foster home. However it must be appreciated that these dogs have gone through huge changes already and that the disruption must be kept to a minimum. This is one reason why we prefer a visit/visits prior to the dog being taken on trial.

We ask all prospective adopters in the first instance to complete one of our questionnaire/application forms – not intended to pry into your lives – only to make the adoption process smoother and faster and to avoid any disruption at a later date. With the help of honest answers to our questions we can better match the right dog to your lifestyle. We will contact you if we think we have a suitable dog available or please contact us for information about any of the dogs on this website, unless you have a particular dog in mind. Once you have decided you are interested in a dog you will then receive a copy of our contract, advice sheet and an assessment of your chosen dog prior to meeting him/her.

Yes – please ask for specific requirements and we will make arrangements for testing BEFORE you commit to meeting any of our dogs

Generally we would say no to this suggestion – we always prefer to foster our dogs first so that we get to know them and their requirements – this safeguards prospective adopters and most importantly the dogs themselves. The foster period usually lasts from 48 hrs to six weeks plus, depending on the individual dog. However if you are sufficiently confident in your ability to make a successful adoption of a dog straight from Romania, we are sometimes able to assist with the practicalities of organising transport etc. making use of our contacts in rescue. It has to be clearly understood that there will be a similar home vetting procedure before we will become involved, and that our insurance will NOT cover this type of direct adoptionIt has to also be clearly understood that all expenses for this kind of adoption will have to be paid upfront in advance, and that our back-up for dogs not previously fostered by us cannot be depended on in the same way, though of course we will always help and advise if we are able. Please therefore consider very carefully before choosing this optionWE STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU CHOOSE A PREVIOUSLY-FOSTERED DOG - WITH FULL BACK-UP - We always have some beautiful dogs for you to choose from and our system - while costing no more than a direct adoption - protects both you and the dog from start to finish.
