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.

Looking at Annie now, it’s hard to imagine the day she was found. She was wandering alone, desperate for food, literally just skin and bones. She was starving, forgotten, and losing hope until she was found by a friend, who brought her into the safety of her yard. Thankfully Annie’s life changed that day, she now has hope and a chance of a better life.Annie is so ready to find a forever home where “hunger” is a word she never has to understand again. Despite her rough start, she is incredibly social, very sweet and friendly. She currently shares a kennel with 7 other dogs of all sizes and gets along great with them. She is wonderful with Dogs, Cats and children.Annie isn’t just looking for a home, she’s looking for her special once in a life time someone to help her bloom. Her perfect home would be a rural or semi-rural home with a secure garden and plenty of lawn to run on. It would have owners with rescue experience who understand the patience and time it takes for a dog to transition from “survival mode” to “family pet,” with someone home most of the day. Annie needs at least one other friendly dog in the home to play with and, more importantly, to learn from. Older children only, please.Annie needs a special kind of person. Someone with the space, the kindness, and the heart to show this beautiful girl that there is still so much goodness left in the world.

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 ‘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 ‘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 ‘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.

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 ‘resource guarding’ which resulted in several bites in the home. Upon further assessment of him, we do believe his ‘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 CliveGuaranteed to take your breath away he truly is extremely handsome.

Dexter … The Gentle Giant Needs Your help again. A majestic 62kg, Dexter is quite simply, a stunner. Through no fault of his own (due to a marriage breakup), this handsome and incredibly affectionate boy is searching for his forever “Royal Home.”The “Goofy” Side: Dexter is a big boy with an even bigger personality. He is famous for his “morning songs” … he’s very vocal and loves to serenade his family as they wake up. Despite his size, he’s a bit of a couch potato. One good walk a day is usually enough to tuck him in for a long, lazy nap. He is perfectly house-trained and a dream to have in the home.Social Life & Plays: Dexter currently lives with a 12kg Beagle .. and another shepherd dog . He “pulls his punches” when playing with smaller dogs and is incredibly gentle once he knows them. He would ideally love a home with another dog to play with.Kids: He adores children. However, at 62kg, he’s a “heavy” playmate and could accidentally knock over toddlers. He is protective of his “pack,” so introductions to new friends need to be managed.Cats: He has lived with them previously, though not recently. The Loyal Guardian Dexter has guarding in his DNA. He takes his job of patrolling the garden seriously and will bark to let you know someone is approaching.Training: He is bright and very food-motivated, which makes training a breeze. He is strong-minded but thrives when he knows his human is the leader. Out & About, because he is a large guard breed, he can be suspicious of strangers and initially dominant with new dogs. For this reason, he is walked on a lead with a muzzle. With a confident, experienced owner, his recall and social manners have massive potential for growth. He walks well on a lead but is physically very strong.

MEET DONNIE: THE STUNNING BOY WITH THE SCRUFFY NOSE!Are you looking for a “cheeky” 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 “puppy slouch” 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 “brat” 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).

Harley and Hershey, two incredibly handsome and large/ extra-large dogs, are on a heartwarming quest to find a loving home together.

Brave Harley leads the way, while his more nervous brother, Hershey, follows closely behind, trusting his brother’s courage. Their bond is heartwarming, and they dream of a rural or semi-rural home with direct access to a large, secure garden to play in, with possibly another friendly dog to keep them company.These precious boys need a very special family, one willing to invest the time, patience, and kindness needed to help them adjust to life outside the kennel environment. In return, they will shower you with endless love and loyalty. Harley and Hershey’s hearts are overflowing with affection, and they are ready to share it with the right family who will cherish them forever. What they need is an understanding family, a soft voice, a kind gentle hand. They will need a quiet, experienced, calm, rural home environment, preferably adult only, with someone who understands that they will have to earn their trust before their true personalities start to show. They are both so eager to belong but not sure how to, so we are looking for a home with an out house or conservatory to give them the time they need to slowly learn how to integrate in their own time. Will you be the one to open your heart and home to these gentle giants?This is Harley and Hershey’s story. Alongside their seven siblings, these boys were found abandoned, hungry, and alone at a chicken abattoir. Initially, they were fostered in a friend’s yard, where a spacious kennel run was constructed to house them until there was room at our shelter, Happy’s. Now that they have moved to Happy’s, Harley and Hershey have become firm favourites with everyone who meets them.
