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.

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.

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 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 Cardigan Welsh Corgi available for adoption from LIB Dog Rescue in Suffolk

Louis

Suffolk
SexMale
Age7 years
BreedGerman Shepherd X Cardigan 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.

Mabel is such a very sweet girl, I’ve never seen her so much as curl her lip at another dog or a person ( and some of the dogs here are pushy and annoying, very deserving of a lip curl )Originally from and Romania, she has had a tough little life so far.She loves to play with some of the small dogs here & she snuggles with Sweet Pete every night.Mabel would love a nice companion dog & I think it would help her confidence.At home she is fairly relaxed and confident but outside on her walks she is very nervous – not so bad when she is with her little friends though & her confidence is growing daily.Mabel doesn’t have a bad bone at all, she deserves the very best for the rest of her little life.If you can be Mabel’s ‘ very best ‘ please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form. ️Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.

Mali

Suffolk
SexMale
Age2 years
BreedBelgian Malinois

Mali is a very beautiful young boy, Malinois x Cane Corso.Mali came to LIB after quite a long spell in a kennel based rescue where it was difficult to meet his needs.Paul was working with Mali but realistically could only get to him a couple of times a week.He is doing much better now with daily work & interactions in a home based rescue.He will need continued training, plenty of excersise and daily stimulation. An interest in training and working with your dog would be perfect, he isn’t a ‘snooze the day away’ kinda guy.Mali has shown no aggression towards us or any of the dogs here, he has been really friendly although his play can be a little pushy sometimes. He is young, energetic and learning every day. One of our large old girls put him in his place yesterday and he was very humble about being told off.If you have the time and energy for Mali please get in touch he is already a fantastic dog but he has so much more to give.Please email libdogrescue@gmail.com & request an application form.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply.
