ADOPTED -Tixie ( aka Sausage) 3 year old Sausage dog cross desperate for his own forever home

ADOPTED -Tixie ( aka Sausage) 3 year old Sausage dog cross desperate for his own forever home

Tixie ( aka Sausage) 3 year old Sausage dog cross - Fully Vaccinated, chipped, neutered and he even has his very own EU pet passport so you can take him on holiday with you.

Good with kids and other dogs, tolerates cats.




Tixies life started out horrifically, adopted by a family and then just abandoned when they became bored of him. Poor Tixie found himself in one of the most horrific public shelters in Romania. Here because of his size and demeanour he was bullied and harassed. An easy target for the more aggressive dogs in the kennels. With Tixie, his bark is worse than his bite and the other dogs knew this.



We rescued him, and he is now being fostered in Staffordshire by our charity.

Sausage has a very loving character, he adores cuddles and fuss being made of him. He gets along well with other dogs of all sizes, which is surprising  considering what he went through.





He does have a sparky character and seems to think he is the security guard of the household, standing between the smaller dogs and larger dogs at dinner time as though protecting them in case of food aggression.
 
Though he is known to prefer a bowl all to himself rather than sharing, he is not food aggressive...Just a little piggy.

He is house trained, though we have had the odd accident if we don't get to the patio door in time late at night, but he does let you know when he needs to his business.

Tixie ( aka Sausage) takes an interest in cats, but prefers to bark at them rather than ignore them. We have a little cat who thinks she is rambo, excellent to do the cat test with. She walks in an out of our living room regardless what dogs are there. Tixie will stand there barking at her rather than go for her, and Polly just ignores him. This is not to say that if he was within a group of dogs who attacked a  cat he wouldn't join in...as with all dogs, they follow the pack mentality. So if you have another dog in your home, Tixie simply follows suit.

His favourite food is...well anything really, but given the choice he would eat a bowl of pasta and sardines every day of the week if he could.

Little Tixie desperately needs his own forever home as he is becoming just a little to comfortable here in foster, and this will run the risk of him believing we have abandoned him if he stays too long and finds an adopter months down the line.

He really is such a cool little dog, and deserves a loving safe forever home.

If you could offer this to our little Tixie please contact us asap.

ADOPTED - Spritz, 2 year old male collie cross. Needing forever home.

ADOPTED - Spritz, 2 year old male collie cross. Needing forever home.


Spritz is one of 8 dogs seen looking in a poor condition in the back yard of a family home in Bucharest. The family that owned them were obviously not taking care of them as they were very malnourished. On talking to the family it became clear that they were too poor to feed the dogs (even though they had only recently got two of them) and the dogs often went unfed for days on end. When they were fed it was often on slices of bread. It appeared that the family were not only too poor to feed the dogs but that they were also uneducated in animal welfare and well being and also cared little about the animals.

Spritz along with the other dogs was rescued from this family and taken to a shelter where further examination showed they were covered in fleas and ticks and the malnutrition was even worse than first suspected with some being skin and bone beneath the fur. All the dogs were treated for the fleas and ticks and have been given the nourishment they need. And Spritz is now doing very well. He is very good with humans, very responsive and friendly. Also heis very good with other dogs having spent so long with so many.
Spritz now needs a forever home desperately. Heneeds a secure long term loving environment where he can truly flourish and have the attention he needs .Spritz has had such a hard time but a special person to give a forever home will soon help put the past behind him.
Spritz is vaccinated, de-wormed, and neutered

ADOPTED - Katie, approx 3 years old. Shepherd cross. Needing forever home.

This is Katie who is approximately 3 years old. She was found a couple of months ago with her 9 puppies lacking shelter in the pouring rain. Her and the puppies were malnourished and in grave danger. Katie was desperate trying to protect her puppies and survive herself.

A short term safe haven was found for them in a vetinary clinic. Here they were fed and vaccinated and Katie took no time to return to good health. She is now in a pension but she desperately needs a forever home. Katie is very loving and affectionate..she adores people and other animals. She has even ‘adopted’ a young motherless kitten which is a sign of her gentle nature.

All Katie needs now is that very special person to give her the long term love and affection that she deserves.

ADOPTED - Vulpi 3month old female chihauhua/terrier cross small size needing a forever home.

ADOPTED - Vulpi 3month old female chihauhua/terrier cross small size needing a forever home.

Vulpi is yet another case of owners abandoning their dogs, she was thrown on to the streets of Romania with her siblings and mother, which is often the way in Romania, in the hope they are either killed, or starve to death, unless some one with a heart comes along and takes then in. This is what happened to Vulpi, she is now in a shelter with many other dogs.

The shelter do their very best to look after these dogs, and give as much attention as they possibly can, but they do have limited resources and man power.

Vulpi gets on well with the other dogs in the shelter and there is no sign of behaviour problems. Vulpi just loves to be around people and would be a welcome addition to any family, she just wants that forever home where she will be loved and care for, and she will return that love and affection ten fold.

Vulpi is fully vaccinated, dewormed and microchipped and also has her very own passport.
