Duchess

👑 Meet Duchess! 👑 

Duchess is a sweet, 5-year-old white poodle mix who weighs 11.5 pounds. 🐩 She was taken in by a Good Samaritan who connected her with our rescue so we could address all of her medical and grooming needs before finding her a forever home. 

We started by getting her groomed, which has already helped her feel much better. A big thank you to Plush Puppy Dog Grooming for your amazing work! She loved her pampering and while she still has some porphyrin spots (tear stains) on her chin, this is a natural, iron-containing pigment found in tears, saliva, and urine that is simply more noticeable on light-colored dogs. This should diminish over time with continuous grooming. 

We have microchipped, dewormed, and treated her for fleas. Additionally, Duchess has been vetted and has an appointment next week for her spay, rabies, and DAPP vaccines. 

This loving, cuddly little girl is now ready to find her new home. She does very well with all the dogs in her current foster home. She has been around males and females, larger and smaller breeds with no issues. We do not know how she reacts to cats or young children, as she has not been around any within our rescue. She is crate trained and she is also a quick learner! She mastered using the doggy door within a single day.

Your Next Steps

Adoption Process

The summer has come to an end all too quickly and we are now heading for some pretty cold and horrible weather in the winter months at the shelter in Romania. Whilst we had hoped we would have all of the cats rescued from Ukraine in safe, loving homes by now the DEFRA ban on cats coming into the UK and the endless blood tests and veterinary checks that had to be done has delayed rehoming.

Adoption Fees

Most of the dogs are now ready to be rehomed, they are vetted, have passed their FAVN blood tests and have done the 3 month waiting time but the DEFRA ban remains in place with a new update due on 28 October 2022. We know we will not be able to get all of the dogs out before winter hits hard even if the ban is lifted so the last 2 months have been spent doing massive upgrades to the shelter so we can keep our lovely dogs safe and warm throughout the winter.

Post-Adoption Services

The upgrades have been expensive but the animals are worth it but now we need to really work hard to try and bring in the much needed donations to keep the animals fed and safe whilst they await rehoming. Every donation, no matter the amount, truly does make a difference and helps us to ensure that the 90+ dogs in our care DO NOT become forgotten animals of war. We know that times are tough but please donate if you can and please share our fundraiser.
