Dogs Waiting To Be Adopted
Grace
DOB: 15.03.2012 passport age ( estimate we think considerably younger )
Sex: Female
Size: Large
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: untested
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Grace waited 7-8 years in a Romanian shelter. She is a steady quiet girl, as yet the lights are not fully on but everything is very new & she has spent most of her life in a place with little interaction or stimulation. She is a bit shell shocked to be here in such a different environment. While we know she was an adult on entering the shelter all that time ago, we don’t think she is as old as the age shown on her passport. She really does deserve some time in a nice home. Grace came from the same shelter as lib dogs Finn & Fortune who were both there for a similar duration & both boys are living their best lives now, we would really love to be able to do the same for Grace. We can’t change their backstory but if we work together we can give them a happy ending.
Please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form if you can give Grace her Happy ending.

Jessy
D.O.B: 20.10. 2018
Sex: female
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: yes
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: yes
Jessy ( we call her Jezabell, she likes to snuggle up large male dogs ) was extremely nervous in her shelter in Romania & for some time after arriving here. It took a while to lead train her & she initially hated to be touched. Now she walks beautifully, sits close to us and really enjoys a gentle fuss.
Jessy is a very beautiful & dainty little dog, she is fast & is a possible flight risk, she does need a 6′ secure garden, an experienced, calm adopter & at least one other dog. Her adopter will need to be prepared to meet with us until Jessy relaxes around them. A gentle rehome transition would work best for our little fox dog.
Jessy will be loyal and loving to her person, she is a sweet little girl and she really deserves a chance. If you think you could take her the last little step of her journey please get in touch.

Layla
DOB: approx 6-7 yrs
Sex: female
Size: medium / large
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: pending
Microchip: yes
Passport: no
Layla is the most beautiful girl, sweet friendly & eager to please.
Layla was a yard dog and had always lived outside, she had also had puppies, our vet thinks multiple times.
She is a really good girl and has settled in here beautifully with no problems at all.
Layla had not been walked in her previous life. The first walk she pulled like a train and was really quite over stimulated but after just a couple of weeks she is already taking it all in her stride.
This is a beautiful girl who really deserves some comfort in her life..
If you can give Layla a place to relax and the the kind of loved life she really deserves please get in touch, we would love to hear from you.

Mali
DOB: 10.07.24
Sex: Male
Size: large
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: unlikely
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Mali is a very beautiful young boy, Malinois x Cane Corso.
Mali came to LIB after quite a long spell in a kennel based rescue where it was difficult to meet his needs.
Paul was working with Mali but realistically could only get to him a couple of times a week.
He is doing much better now with daily work & interactions in a home based rescue.
He will need continued training, plenty of excersise and daily stimulation. An interest in training and working with your dog would be perfect, he isn’t a ‘snooze the day away’ kinda guy.
Mali has shown no aggression towards us or any of the dogs here, he has been really friendly although his play can be a little pushy sometimes. He is young, energetic and learning every day. One of our large old girls put him in his place yesterday and he was very humble about being told off.
If you have the time and energy for Mali please get in touch he is already a fantastic dog but he has so much more to give.
Please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form.

Louis
D.O.B 02/12/2019 Estimate
Sex: male
Size: small / medium
Neutered: Yes
Cat friendly: Yes
Vaccinated: Yes
Microchip: Yes
Passport : Yes
It’s been a long process for Louis, we don’t know his story prior to being dumped in Romania’s Bals kill shelter with a crippled leg, but it would have been painful and traumatic. The leg was amputated before he travelled to the UK. Louis is a short legged dog, with a beautiful face. There is some GSD but also maybe some corgi mixed in there.
Louis has lived in our home for well over 2 years and for most of that time wouldn’t allow any of us to touch him. Lead training him was a very slow process of confidence building which eventually led to Louis allowing us to touch him, which he now rather likes.
Rehoming Louis will not be fast, Adopters will need to take the time to get to know him, gain his trust and give him confidence. Louis is well worth a little of your time, if you are the right person for him. He is predominantly an off lead dog, as with most three legged dogs he is more comfortable running a little / resting a little, rather than going at our consistent walking pace. He doesn’t require long walks but does bomb around while he is out.
I don’t think he would do well as an only dog, dogs have been his only friends for most of his life, he is also absolutely fine with my cats.
If you are patient, kind, have some experience with rescue dogs you could be the right person for our Louis.

Lowrie
D.O.B 01.02.2022
Sex: Male
Size: Medium / Large
Neutered: Yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport : yes
Lowrie is just about in a place where he could be adopted. He came to us from Botosani public shelter, he was afraid and when his siblings were offered rescue places Lowrie wasn’t.
I’m a sucker for a scared dog so he packed his bags and came to lib. He was scared, still is, in some situations & he isn’t an easy rehome BUT he is an absolutely beautiful, funny and affectionate dog. In the right hands Lowrie will continue to build confidence & he will be loving and loyal to his person.
To adopt Lowrie, some experience with nervous dogs would be helpful & a companion dog would be good for Lowrie. Older, mindful children I think he would be okay but we would need to meet. He is ok with my cats but they are dog smart.
I love this dog & he has come a long way in my care, if you are patient, kind and willing to work with him we would love to meet you…

Connie
D.O.B 22.07.2019
Sex: female
Size: medium
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: yes
Connie is a very sweet girl, she came to LIB from Romania with a very damaged & painful back leg, broken & left to calcify. It was irreparable and we made the decision to have the limb amputated. She is happier, lighter and moves beautifully without the leg.
Connie is friendly but still a little nervous, she walks well on the lead, loves to see her human friends ( lib volunteers ) & gets super excited at meal times, she does a great dinner time dance.
A lovely, sweet, waggy girl who needs a little more confidence and an adopter who has some experience with nervous dogs or at least understanding that settling in can take some time.
If you think that you could be the right home for Connie please email libdogrescue@gmail.com and request an application form.

Pete RESERVED
D.O.B 02.02.23
Sex: Male
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: yes
Pete is an awesome little dog, so frightened on arrival but brave and kind too. He is now just about ready to re-home although I think an owner with experience would be best. He is not easy to feed one of the fussiest little dogs I’ve ever met. He is happy, funny and playful, a very sweet boy. I absolutely adore this little guy.
He has a very good friendship with Freya & they moved from kill shelter to Romanian foster and then here together. It would be amazing for them and would also help their confidence if I could home them together.
The adopter here would need to be willing to visit multiple times, we would also home visit with dog / dogs. We wouldn’t consider an only dog home for Pete.
If you think you could be the person for Pete / & maybe Freya too please email libdogrescue@gmail.com we would love to hear from you.

Gizmo UNAVAILABLE ATM
D.O.B 15.12.2018
Sex: Male
Size: very small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Gizmo is a UK chihuahua. He is sweet and loves a cuddle, he does not like the rain, can’t wait to get under the duvet at night, definitely thinks he is bigger than he actually is & is reluctant to get up in the morning. He has a moderate heart murmur but does not require medication or any special treatment at this time, he goes out walking every day.
Gizmo does ok here but he would really love his own person again. Please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form if you think you could be that person.

Jimmy
DOB: 15.05.2016 estimate
Sex: male
Size: large
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: no
Jimmy was originally a Romanian rescue but we took him from another UK rescue where he had been in kennels for several years. He had some issues, mostly fearful & reactive to new people.
Jimmy did bring those issues here and our volunteers all worked very hard to befriend him. He now loves everybody but we still extend a little caution when introducing him to new people at home, although there have been no issues in recent months.
Jimmy loves his walks especially in the woods and on the beach, he is very good offv lead and has good recall.
This is a beautiful dog who has had a really difficult life, he is going grey but has plenty of energy and doesn’t seem in any way like an older dog.
Everyone here at LIB loves Jimmy but we would really like him to have a home of his own, a happy ending to his story.

Simba
DOB: 7.12.20
Sex: Male
Size: medium / large
Neutered: Yes
Cat friendly: can be tested
Passport: yes
Vaccination: yes
Microchip: yes
Simba started life in Romania, he was in a shelter as a pup so his life lens was narrow & on arriving here he was afraid of pretty much everything.
Simba is a real character, he is quite highly strung, excitable, nervous, boisterous in play but tender & affectionate too when he gets to know you. He is a sweet boy and will be very loyal to his person. He is still a young dog & can be a bit of a handful but enjoys training & loves to please. I think a playmate would be great for him. He is good on & off the lead & clean at home.
Simba had an ear problem that we struggled to resolve but a surgery to remove part of the ear canal has solved the problem & he is much happier now that he is not in pain.
Simbas adopter would need some experience & a willingness to meet with us for walks to get to know him. Patience with him is a must, he doesn’t like anyone instantly but he is worth the wait. If you think you could offer Simba his forever home please do get in touch.

Wesley
DOB: 17.09.2019
Sex: Male
Size: medium
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: yes
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: No
Wesley, who rather likes to be called Woo Woo, was brought into the UK as a young dog. I believe he went directly to his adopter & with him he took a whole host of fear. Extremely uncomfortable and fearful around men & incredibly anxious in general. Wesley was very loved & his owner protected him from his fears, maybe this didn’t help to build his confidence but it helped in the short term. After several years his original owner was diagnosed with lung cancer and needed extensive treatment. With nobody to look after Wesley she reached out to the original rescue and then when offered no support she broadened her search. Eventually she found us and we agreed to take on this complicated Romanian boy.
The night he arrived I think was the most emotional owner surrender I’ve ever experienced. This lady loved her dog and he didn’t understand what was happening.
It took time to even get Wesley to eat here, a bundle of nerves and anxiety.
He is still highly strung, he is still fearful of men but has grown to like some of the regular male volunteers.
He doesn’t seem to know really how to play with the other dogs but he will lay with some of the quiet dogs here.
Wesley tugs at my heart, it’s all a bit of a struggle for him & I think it has always been that way.
His adopter would need to be prepared to spend time with him and us & it might take a while, but honestly we are ok to hang out with 😁
I think another dog would be good but a quiet dog, he also seemed fine with my elderly cat.
No young children he wouldn’t cope with the chaos, exceptionally quiet older children . . . maybe. He was very calm around a friends teenage child but she is particularly quiet and calm.
He loves his walks but can be a bit exuberant on the lead, we do pack walk though. One on one he may well be calmer.
He really can be very sweet & he really does deserve another shot at having his own person or family. If you think you have the time and patience for Wesley please get in touch, we would love to meet you.

Mabel
DOB: ( approx 4 yrs )
Sex: female
Size: small / dainty
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: unknown
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Mabel is such a very sweet girl, I’ve never seen her so much as curl her lip at another dog or a person ( and some of the dogs here are pushy and annoying, very deserving of a lip curl )
Originally from and Romania, she has had a tough little life so far.
She loves to play with some of the small dogs here & she snuggles with Sweet Pete every night.
Mabel would love a nice companion dog & I think it would help her confidence.
At home she is fairly relaxed and confident but outside on her walks she is very nervous – not so bad when she is with her little friends though & her confidence is growing daily.
Mabel doesn’t have a bad bone at all, she deserves the very best for the rest of her little life.
If you can be Mabel’s ‘ very best ‘ please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form. ❤️

Joseph
D.O.B 10.05.2017

Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: yes
Joseph is a funny, lovely boy. He was in Maddie’s shelter in Romania for quite some time & it took him a while to adjust to his life here but he is beginning to really enjoy himself now.
He loves free time at a secure field and recently we discovered that he loves to swim ! Swimming clips in comments 😊
He is a loveable boy with lots of character, he would need a gentle introduction to a new home. If you think you could give this older boy a beautiful rest of life please contact us.

Dolly
D.O.B 16.08.23
Sex: female
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: no
Dolly is a tiny owner surrender UK dog. She is a sweet, playful little girl but it’s very easily spooked.
Dolly likes other dogs and is happy to meet them, she would benefit from a sweet and friendly companion dog.
Dolly would need time to get to know her adopters & a gentle re-home.
We think no children with Dolly & while it is much improved she did go to her fosterer with some separation anxiety so definitely not too much leave time in her early days.
This little girl is very sweet & with continued patience & confidence building she will be a fun, playful, loving little dog.
If you could give Dolly the time and love she deserves please do get in touch.

Taz
Sex: Female
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Passport: no
Taz was a UK pound dog, she was listed as reactive & when she first arrived she did come in like the Tasmanian Devil itself, earning herself her name. Within an hour or two she was playing with a ball amongst the other dogs quite happily.
At a guess we would say she had never been walked or socialized, she can still become quite over stimulated on her walks but improving all of the time & at home she is a sweetheart now.
She is a really loving little dog who holds on for a cuddle and loves to be up in your arms. She had no chip, no records, age is a guess, neuter, vaccines & chip are all done now.
Taz has a lot of love to give and she really is a lovely sweet girl, walking her isn’t for the faint hearted & she is pretty much inexhaustible but once home she transitions back into a cuddle bug. I have never known a dog with such polarity in her personality & I should be clear that she isn’t at all reactive just very very stimulated outside of the house.

He’s a sweet boy, but shy with new people. He loves a ball but is reluctant to give it up, we are working on teaching Woody to ‘leave’
Woody walks nicely on the lead & is growing in confidence. He is ok with other dogs but would also suit an only dog situation.
Woody likes a gentle cuddle and fuss from those he is relaxed with.
This is a really sweet boy, a bit confused atm by his change in circumstances.
Woody needs a quiet adult only home, where patience is plentiful & he won’t be left alone too much.

Crystal
DOB: 9.11.2016
Sex: female
Size: x large
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Crystal is an Italian Livestock guardian breed / Maremma Shepherd × GSD
Crystal was very loved by her previous family but they were struggling to meet her needs.
Crystal didn’t like to be left for long periods & while she walks beautifully on the lead she is a strong dog.
Crystal settled here almost immediately, she seems to love being surrounded by dogs & people & she really enjoys her daily outings.
Crystal is an older dog but she is very fit and well, the only sign of age is that her teeth are quite worn from biting at her tether in her previous life.
This is a lovely, friendly, extremely beautiful girl but like all LGD’s she does need boundaries.
If you think you have the love she deserves & a life style that would suit Crystal please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form.

Muffin
DOB: 2.7.2025
Sex: female
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Muffin is just adorable. She was a UK owner surrender but she settled into lib life almost immediately, playing with the other dogs, sleeping on my bed with the other littlies & stealing the hearts of all our volunteers.
While she loves other dogs she does have a bark at the really big ones. She would be very comfortable in a home with small / medium dogs. Muffin has lived with children also.
I can’t fault muffin she is a great little dog with lots of energy & she deserves an active, fun and loving family.
If you think you could be the right family for muffin please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form.

Mr Beans
DOB: 15.05.24
Sex: male
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Mr Beans, what can we say his pictures say it all. He is a delightful little boy, always happy.
Undoubtedly he has had some tough times, he was dumped at Bals public shelter and luckily sponsored & moved to foster kennels by the C&C for Bals shelter dogs group.
Beans hasn’t been with us long but was friendly & tactile on arrival, took to walking in a harness immediately & is all round a great dog.
He is good with other dogs, loves people but hasn’t been around children yet. We think he would go well with other dogs but would also cope as an only dog providing you offered enough enrichment.
If you are looking for a small ( he is small whippety size ) cheerful little companion to accompany you on adventures then Mr Beans is your guy 😁
Please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form if you think you could be a good match for Mr Beans.

Betty
DOB: 15.03.25
Sex: Female
Size: small
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Betty originally came from Bals shelter in Romania, how this timid little soul must have felt in this stark & harsh environment is unthinkable.
Luckily she was taken out and into the care of Beas little shelter, where dogs are truly cared for.
Betty is super sweet but still really quite timid, her confidence is growing slowly and she is beginning to play with other dogs.
I think a small gentle companion dog would really help her find her way, she and Muffin are great friends for anyone thinking of taking two little buddies.
This is a very sweet little girl who will require some patience and gentle encouragement, but she will absolutely shine in the right family.
If you think you could be that family, please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form.

Ice
DOB: 01.06.21
Sex: Male
Size: Medium
Neutered: yes
Cat friendly: can test
Vaccinated: yes
Microchip: yes
Ice is a beautiful boy, he waited 5 years in a Romanian shelter for a chance to have a home of his own.
He has only been here 2 weeks, he is already walking quite nicely on the lead, is relaxed at home & is taking no notice of my cats when they sit on the stairs ( a gate does separate cats and dogs )
Ice loves people, cuddles & fuss. He is smaller than I expected having only seen pictures of himn before he arrived.
This is a dog that will be a great companion & a loyal friend. Everyone at LIB loves him & at his shelter in a Romania his carer called him her ‘heart dog’ & it was her determination that he should have a chance of a family, home of his own and a life full of love that eventually bought him here.
If you can help us fulfil the dream that Beatrice had for Ice please do get in touch.
Please email & request an application form.
