About 1 Dog At A Time

1 Dog At A Time is run by a team of passionate volunteers dedicated to helping street and stray dogs in Romania who face extreme neglect and hardship. The rescue highlights the brutal realities many dogs endure, from abandonment in remote areas to capture by dog catchers and confinement in overcrowded public shelters with little food or medical care. Dogs often suffer from harsh seasonal extremes, illness and injury, with puppies and elderly dogs particularly vulnerable. Driven by compassion and firsthand experience, the team works to give these dogs a second chance at safety and a loving home.

A Letter to Asher’s prospective forever family from his foster mum:Hello, My name is Sharon & I am Asher’s foster mum & I just wanted to share with you what am amazingly gentle, loving, resilient & brave dog Asher is.My hubby & I have had dogs in our lives for a such a long time & we have always chosen to rescue dogs. We have rescued from the UK & Romania & currently have 3 dogs- Ralf, Ed & Cerys. Last year we became foster carers, a role I absolutely adore. Since coming to stay with us last October Asher has just blossomed & is very different from the withdrawn, super anxious & vigilant dog we collected. His progress is very much at his pace which is at a slow speed (one paw at a time) but he has felt safe enough to share his fun-loving side & has started to trust us although but it is our view that this will be a long journey for him.He very much likes familiar surroundings & people & can become a little sensitive especially to unexpected noise; Asher when uncertain or nervous will withdraw. He is not at all aggressive in his nature or behaviour. He is getting used to visitors to our home & when one of my dog-walking friend visits Asher gets so excited he will do a ā€˜trotting dance’ & whistle.Asher’s greatest loves are our other dogs, being outside, toast & settees He loves being around our dogs & loves being outside doing ā€˜zoomies’ around our garden with them. He will jump on the bed in the morning with our gang & they will all have a snooze for an extra 15-30 minutes. He recognises the sound of the toaster & will dash from wherever he is to the kitchen; something he has learnt from Ralf. Asher continues to love a settee & is at his most relaxed when he is stretched out. He is no trouble at all to take out for walks. Although he is a little reluctant to have his harness put on, once this has been secured, he then begins to do his little dance showing his excitement. His recall is very good & when he is off the lead in the secure field, he is happy to explore but is also happy to come back when called.Asher is caring & considerate; for example, when we are out walking if I have him on the lead he goes at a slower pace & will periodically wait for me to catch up. When we come back from a rainy walk Asher is more interested in making sure the other dogs are dried off by licking them than being dried off himself. Today Cerys slipped while they were running around, Asher went up to her & licked her face to make sure, she was okay. He is instinctively empathetic. His interaction with dogs & people is very gentle. He is not a barker, Ed is a ā€˜talker’ & Asher will bark when he does but has never initiated any barking; He prefers to whistle when he gets excited. Cerys is full of issues, but Asher just works around her & is calm & caring in his interactions with her.

Catie was found by us as a tiny puppy. She was adopted, but several months ago, after 5 years in her home, she was surrendered back into our care. She didn’t just come back with a broken heart; she arrived with 26 pages of veterinary history and a heavy cocktail of daily medications, including Prozac. For the last few months, our wonderful team alongside our incredible vet have been slowly, safely, and patiently tapering her off everything. We wanted to see who Catie really was under all that fog. Today, we are overjoyed to tell you that Catie has been completely drug-free for over a month and she is a completely transformed, incredibly happy soul. She is finally rediscovering who she is, one lawn zoomie and tummy rub at a time. Now, she is officially ready to find the ā€œone-in-a-millionā€ angel who will give her the quiet, beautiful life she has fought so hard for.A message from Catie:ā€œSince coming off my medications, my true personality has bloomed. I am so much happier. I absolutely love coming out of my kennel, and I get so excited when I see my harness and lead come out.Right now, the rescue has me on a bit of a diet. I’m carrying a few extra pounds that aren’t good for my joints, and while I am deeply offended by the smaller food portions, I’m handling it like a champ.I’m not a traditional, clingy lap dog, but I am incredibly affectionate once I know you and on my own terms. I love strokes, tummy tickles and absolutely love being brushed (Just stick to my back and sides please, I prefer to leave my tail and trousers alone )Brushing is also my ultimate comfort; if I’m ever struggling to settle, a good brush completely calms me down. I am very good at being clipped, but I like my ears and tail left long. It’s a sensory thing for me, and I like keeping my signature look!

Introducing Handsome Clive. Clive is a cheeky chappie, at only 25kg, a very small sized golden retriever with a hint of spaniel in him.Clive was going to be euthanised on behaviourist recommendation due to his ā€˜resource guarding’ which resulted in several bites in the home. Upon further assessment of him, we do believe his ā€˜resource guarding’ is for attention and learned behaviour, not because he sees the item as high value. This type of guarding is workable and with management, we believe it can be stopped altogether. With the correct management in the kennels, the team haven’t had any bite incidents with him. The kennel behaviour team are happy to work with you for as long as needed to continue his training and help with the adjustment back into a home.Clive is great with other dogs and could happily live with another female dog. He has not shown any guarding behaviours towards dogs and shares toys and space with them quite happily. He is great with people & will always get top prize for waggiest tail. He tends to get excited when going out on a walk and can be quite bouncy but does calm down after a little while.Clive has a very cheeky personality and will be that dog to run away with your slipper. He gives the best cuddles, he loves a groom and also weirdly loves the vets too.Clive needs a rural/semi rural home with a nice secure garden with lawn to do zoomies, an experienced owner with resource guarding experience and someone who is willing to put in the time to help Clive. He cannot live with children under the age of 18.Guaranteed to take your breath away he truly is extremely handsome. If Clive’s stunning looks have melted your heart please get in touch

MEET DONNIE: THE STUNNING BOY WITH THE SCRUFFY NOSE!Are you looking for a ā€œcheekyā€ companion with big soulful eyes and the most adorable scruffy tuft on his nose? Meet Donnie, a 7-month-old Shepherd mix who is ready to find his forever homeDonnie is currently in a foster home in Gloucestershire, with 8 other dogs of all sizes, and he is a total social butterfly. Whether it’s playing tug-of-war, chasing friends, or snuggling up for a massive fuss and a cuddle, Donnie is a boy who wears his heart on his sleeve. Loves a cuddle, and definitely loves to jump in the bed for morning cuddles he just melts into youDonnie is sweet, loving, and entertaining to watch. He has that classic ā€œpuppy slouchā€ and knows exactly how to look innocent when he’s been a little bit cheeky. Donnie MUST live with at least one other dog. He thrives on canine company and loves to play. Donnie will play for up to an hour, but also likes to then chew on a bone, or mouth a toy, and watch the world go by definitely, he is definitely not an agility dog He has lived with cats previously (though not in the last 3 months).Donnie needs a rural/semi rural home with a large secure garden (with lawn is a must). No children, please.Donnie is fully toilet trained and walks beautifully on a lead in rural areas. He is HIGHLY food-motivated (he’ll do anything for a treat!), which makes him a dream to train. Donnie is starting to show his Shepherd roots, he is wary of strangers/workmen and feels the need to protect his family. He needs a home with previous experience with Shepherd or Guardian breeds to help guide him as he grows. Donnie gets so excited for food he literally paddles his feet. Because he can be a bit of a ā€œbratā€ and try to steal food from other dogs, he is crate-fed to keep meal times calm and happy. He has learned to settle and chill when left alone (he may have a small whine in his crate but soon settles for a nap).

INTRODUCING THE ADORABLE IZZY!!! Sometimes, the best things in life just need a little extra time to find their perfect match. That’s our Izzy!A year and a half ago, Izzy was found dangerously close to a busy road. Thankfully, a friend, Stella, rescued her and brought her to safety. Since then she’s been lovingly cared for, but what she’s really waiting for is a family of her own.Izzy is small size, with beautiful big brown eyes and the sweetest personality. She absolutely adores her squeaky toys, is fantastic with both dogs and cats, and is just a happy, playful soul.Izzy has a condition called diabetes insipidus. In plain terms, her internal ā€œwater intake sensorā€ doesn’t quite work right. But with just a couple of pills a day, she is perfectly fine, healthy, and happy. The medication costs around Ā£80 a month and sadly, that has caused people to overlook her. It breaks our hearts because she is so incredibly worth it. We’ve been asked if we could help, and just look at that face. how could we say no?Izzy needs a rural or semi-rural home with a secure garden and plenty of grass to zoom around on with someone who is home most of the day, with a big caring heart who understands the patience, love and time it takes to help a little rescue dog transition to a family pet. She needs another friendly dog in the home to play with, but more importantly, to learn from and copy. Izzy can live with dog-savvy catsIf you have the space, the experience and a huge heart, Izzy will repay you a million times over in pure love, goofy entertainment and unwavering loyalty.
