Welcome to Prietenii Nostri 'Our Friends' Dog Rescue

We do not own the land that our shelter is based on, and we are facing eviction. We need to move the dogs from our current location before an eviction order is served otherwise the Dog Catchers will enter and take as many as possible to the KILLING POUND. Humane Euthanasia is not an option in Romania and the dogs at the killing pound are starved to death with no food or water or much worse.

We are in the process of building a new shelter on our new land, and are now raising money to move 300+ dogs and continue the fantastic work of the shelter. We could still be evicted from our current location any day but we are working as fast as we can to have the new shelter ready before the harsh winter sets in.

Please keep helping by spreading the word. Please watch our appeal video below.

 

We rescue dogs from the streets, the killing pound and from abusive situations. All of the dogs in our care are spayed/neutered, vaccinated and fed daily. We work hard to rebuild their lives, providing much needed emotional support to rebuild their trust. When dogs are first admitted to the shelter they are extremely malnourished and often require urgent veterniary care. We ensure that this is provided so that all dogs can fulfil their lives.

WE ARE A NO KILL SHELTER

Dave Spikey Supports Our Friends

dave spikey"I met Carla and heard about the terrible plight of dogs in Romania. We're used to having animal charities here, but the way they treat animals there is exceedingly cruel and inhumane. I am proud to support the work of Our Friends Dog Rescue."

Freshfields Supports Our Friends Dog Rescue

Freshfields Animal Rescue have been a much needed support to Our Friends. In April 2012 they adopted 9 dogs from the shelter and brought them to the UK.

Honey, Crispal, Sammy, Skinny and Panda went to the Liverpool Rescue. Barley, Lizy, Sam and Gino went to the Wales Rescue.

We are extremely grateful for the support Freshfields have offered us. Carla McBride has visited the dogs at both rescues and describes it as being an overwhelming experience.

"To see the dogs so happy and playful was overwhelming. They were so happy to have the freedom to run around on grass. Freshfields have provided the highest standard of care, they have taught the dogs how to walk on leads and it is obvious that the dogs all love the attention that they are receiving. Some of the dogs are now in their forever homes, this is something we could only dream of. It has been amazing to have known them for so long in Romania and to see them arrive here and be so happy. We will be forever grateful."
