International Dog Rescue

IDR was set up to rescue dogs from the terrible conditions of public shelters overseas. We need all the help we can get! 🐶

We are no longer operating as a rescue and hope you will support our partners Oakwood Dog Rescue who are still trying to find some of our dogs their forever homes. Gill visited a dog shelter in Romania in 2011 and witnessed the horrific conditions these dogs lived in compared to our UK rescue dogs. She quickly realised that many of these dogs had zero chance of ever getting out of the public shelt

er and almost all of them would die in there. Gill then spent the next 5 years setting up and establishing a dog rescue in the UK with a view to providing a stable base to bring dogs back to. Fast Forward to 2017 Gill and a group of dedicated dog lovers have set up International Dog Rescue - a non-profit organisation. IDR focus on raising funds to build a safe shelter in Romania and to bring dogs over to the UK where they can get a chance at finding the forever home, something they would never get in Romania.

We have such sad news for you all. 😭

Garfield, one of our kittens due to travel this month, has passed away. Our playful little boy had managed to break his leg and had to have surgery to fix it, which went well.

Sadly, 4 days later, he was found with breathing difficulties and even though our vet did everything they could he couldn't be saved.

The funds raised for his transport will now pay for his surgery, though we are £95 short and if you can spare a £1 to help, it would mean a lot.

Even though we are no longer able to raise money as an organisation, we would still like to help Oakwood Dog Rescue in any way we can.

We used to raise £50 per dog. Now, sadly, we are not in the position to be able to do this.

It would mean so much if you could make a donation to Oakwood who are taking care of our dogs while they try to find them homes. The money would go straight to Oakwood using this link

But we’ve had some additional tests that needed to be done before travel and we need your help again in raising the funds for them.

£340 to be exact. Can you help again, please? If so, you can donate to: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/hdcuk REF: MEDS

WE HAVEN'T HAD A DONATION IN DAYS and WE ARE WORRIED!

If we don’t raise the money, the cats CANNOT TRAVEL to the UK.

Even though we are no longer able to raise money as an organisation, our friends at https://www.facebook.com/helpingdogsandcatsuk/ have agreed to take in 5 kittens and their Mum from our regular foster lady in Romania.

£320 is needed for EACH cat. And, none can travel to the UK until all travel and prep costs have been covered. TOTAL still needed is £358.

Mum cat was found by our foster lady, very pregnant and was taken in, thus saving her and her unborn kittens. Unfortunately, she can’t take keep them, which is why she needs our help.

We would really like to help those 6 cats start a better life in the UK, but we can’t do it without your help. No amount is too small. If you would like to help, you can donate to: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/hdcuk REF: 6 cats

Our Story

Gill visited a dog shelter in Romania in 2011 and saw the terrible conditions these dogs lived in compared to our UK rescue dogs. She quickly realised that many of these dogs had zero chance of ever getting out of the public shelter and almost all of them would die in there. Gill then spent the following years setting up and establishing a dog rescue in the UK with a view to providing a stable base to bring these unfortunate dogs back to. Fast Forward to 2017 Gill and a group of dedicated dog lovers have set up International Dog Rescue - this not for profit organisation will be doing two things - raising funds to build a shelter in Romania and to bring dogs over the UK where they can get a chance at finding the forever home they will never get whilst they stay in Romania. We need all the help we can get. Visit our website for more information - www.internationaldogrescue.org.uk
