Back in Romania 🇷🇴🐾

This week our team will be travelling to Romania to visit all of the dogs we’ve rescued for a full welfare and progress assessment.

These trips are incredibly important. They allow us to see every dog in person, check their health and behaviour, and make sure they are safe, well cared for, and continuing to make progress.

Many of these dogs were once abandoned, neglected, or living in very difficult conditions. Seeing them now — safe and slowly learning to trust again — reminds us exactly why we do this work.

During our visit we will be:
🐾 Assessing each dog’s health and wellbeing
🐾 Reviewing behaviour and socialisation
🐾 Identifying dogs ready for adoption or foster homes
🐾 Planning next steps for those who need more time and support

None of this would be possible without the support of our amazing community. Your donations, shares, and encouragement help us continue rescuing, rehabilitating, and giving these dogs a chance at a better life.

We’ll be sharing updates, photos, and stories throughout the trip — so stay tuned to meet some of the incredible dogs you’re helping us care for.

Thank you for being part of their journey. 🐶❤️

Linda and Greg have made a thought provoking Christmas video for Pennypaws Rescue, called The Twelve Dreams of Christmas.

“With the onslaught of winter, we think of the dogs who are safe but not home, still hoping and dreaming of a new life here full of love and many wonderful things.” Linda and Greg

It inspired us to make this video, to show what an incredible difference a home could make for an dog and what a wonderful difference a dog can make to your life.

“He was safe but not home

His heart was full of hope.

He dreamed of a tree so tall

He dreamed of a bouncy ball

He dreamed of a freshly mown lawn

He dreamed of someone to whom he could belong

He dreamed of a beach by the sea

He dreamed of finally running free

He dreamed of treats and snacks galore

He dreamed of entering through his own front door

He dreamed of a bed on which to cuddle and snooze

He dreamed of dancing to rhythm and blues

He dreamed of a name tag to call his own

He dreamed of the Happy Bus bringing him home.“

Linda and Greg

Our team is fighting with everything we have to save eight terrified dogs in a Romanian kill shelter — but the truth is, we cannot get them out without you.

In the video, you see one tiny white dog shaking so hard she can barely stand. She’s confused, petrified… and she is only one of eight who are running out of time.

Their deaths are imminent.

To legally and safely pull them from that hell, we desperately need pledges for their vaccinations, health checks, and transfer to a private shelter. Without this, our hands are tied. We cannot reach them. We cannot save them.

No dog should die nameless, freezing, and alone — especially not two weeks before Christmas.

Right now, they have nothing.
No names.
No hope.
No one coming for them… unless it’s us.

Even £1 could be the difference between life and death. We need to raise £80 per dog.
