Rehoming dogs abroad is a difficult and responsible task. Many people seem to think that by just crossing the border it is a new Paradise for the animal. Others think that the dogs are being sold, or even sent to laboratories for horrid experiments.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, many animals are being sent abroad by individuals and organizations. Some carefully, others \u2013 not. Our practice is to work only with specific shelters and organizations that we know and have respect for. We rarely send dogs to individual people, because we think it is important to know that even after a dog has been successfully rehomed with people in Holland, Austria or Germany, there will be a person responsible and following their lives from then on till their last day.<\/p>\n

But what kind of life do our dogs live when they go abroad? These unwanted \u201cmutts\u201d can\u2019t be anywhere nice?? Oh, instead of telling, it is better to show! But let\u2019s first start with a lovely letter from the owner of former Arsy, current Lotte who is now German, there are also some photos of Aruna \u2013 now Ronja below:<\/p>\n

\u201eLotte is living with us for a year. She has turned out to be a remarkable young lady!<\/em>
\n On the beginning it was a daily hard work for all, but with patience, quietness, fun and tit-bit in the<\/em> pocket you can reach everything ;-). As she came, she had already a very good dog-to-dog socialization and it was very advantageous to us. Thank you for your very good job with the dogs!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every week we gone in the dog training school, not only for Lotte but for us : we had to learn too!<\/em> In Lower Saxony (Germany) there is a new law : dog and owner team have to pass a Test, and we done it.<\/em> She obeys very good so that she walks with us without leash, when it’s possible (not in the city!)<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She’ s playfull and funny, she likes to climp and to jump so that we now go to a dog agility training.<\/em>
\nOccasionally we see Ronja (Aruna), Lotte’s sister. She’s also in Hanover… a sweet Lady!<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Kindest regards,\u00a0 Muriel<\/em>\u201c<\/p>\n

Without a story, but with the most vivid photos, you can see boxers Ike and Tara who are now residents of Austria. These photos are sent to us by Daniella, their kind foster parent who took them in some months ago. The couple hasn\u2019t been rehomed yet \u2013 Daniella is waiting for a person who would want them together. Whilst they wait, the couple does all they can to keep Daniella entertained:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a> \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We dream of a day when Bulgaria\u2019s shelters will be empty too and people will have to sign up in lists, waiting for a dog to come up for adoption. \u00a0Until then\u2026 until then we will continue to work as hard as we can to place as many dogs possible with responsible, caring owners.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
