About LIB Dog Rescue

LIB Dog Rescue is a small, volunteer-run non-profit based in Lowestoft, Suffolk, working with rescuers in Romania, Spain, and the UK. Operating without kennels, most dogs live in the founders’ home or foster care, receiving individual attention, rehabilitation, and family life for as long as they need—some remaining permanently due to complex needs. The rescue relies entirely on a dedicated network of supporters who help with fundraising, transport, home checks, fostering, and international coordination. Focused largely on Romanian dogs, LIB Dog Rescue is committed to giving each dog the time, care, and love needed to find a true forever home.

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.

Freya, a 8 years old female Unknown available for adoption from LIB Dog Rescue in Suffolk

Freya

Suffolk
SexFemale
Age8 years
BreedUnknown

Freya is a funny little girl, she is still nervous and can be a little snippy if pushed, this is purely fear. She was incredibly scared on arrival, a little tiny dog hiding as far back in the crate as she possibly could not daring to even look at me. She, Carrie & Pete all hid for several days after arriving. Their time in Bals kill shelter clearly left a mark..Freya’s passport age makes her 7 but I really don’t think so she plays like a much younger dog, teeth look great. I think lack of condition at the time of estimate may have caused her to be predicted as older than she is.Freya has made incredible progress and plays beautifully with her friends. She does need an owner familiar with scared dogs & most definitely a companion, ideally her little friend Pete, they play so beautifully together. It would be a dream come true for me & for them to home Pete & Freya together.Freya will need multiple visits to get to know her adopter & you would need to put up with me bringing her on home visits ( hopefully with Pete too ) if you could make a dream come true please do get in touch.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Grace, a 14 years old female Unknown available for adoption from LIB Dog Rescue in Suffolk

Grace

Suffolk
SexFemale
Age14 years
BreedUnknown

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.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Hope

Suffolk
SexFemale
Age8 years
BreedUnknown

Hope it’s a sweet little girl but she is quite aloof & isn’t that keen on people in general, not nasty she just keeps her distance. She doesn’t mind me & follows me closely on our walks off her lead. She never seeks me out for attention though.Hope took a really time to habilitate as she was so very scared and shy. Originally from a shelter in Romania where she was placed with her mother after being rescued from Bals kill shelter. ( Hopes mother was a much friendlier dog and was rehomed soon after arriving in the UK )I love Hope, but I like dogs I can quietly be with that aren’t too needy, being nudged & pawed for attention doesn’t do it for me, although plenty of dogs here didn’t get that memo ; ) She & I have an understanding and we get along really wellIf you have some experience with rescued dogs & another dog that might show Hope the way I think she could transition to another home. She loathes being on the lead, so off lead walks with her new human would be important to her )Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Jessy, a 8 years old female Unknown available for adoption from LIB Dog Rescue in Suffolk

Jessy

Suffolk
SexFemale
Age8 years
BreedUnknown

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.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Jimmy

Suffolk
SexMale
Age10 years
BreedUnknown

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.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Louis, a 7 years old male German Shepherd X Pembroke Welsh Corgi available for adoption from LIB Dog Rescue in Suffolk

Louis

Suffolk
SexMale
Age7 years
BreedGerman Shepherd X Pembroke Welsh Corgi

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.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Lowrie

Suffolk
SexMale
Age4 years
BreedUnknown

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…Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.
