Love Underdogs was founded by animal lovers determined to help some of the most unwanted, abused, and voiceless dogs. The charity began after witnessing the harsh realities faced by dogs in Romanian shelters, leading to a long-term commitment to rescuing and rehoming dogs from the Victory Shelter in Brașov in partnership with trusted Romanian organisations. Alongside rehoming dogs to loving homes in the UK, Love Underdogs supports wider change through neutering campaigns, education programmes, and ongoing improvements to local pound conditions. Working collaboratively with international partners, the charity has helped transform a once-notorious kill shelter into a place where dogs are cared for and healthy animals are no longer euthanised. While giving individual dogs a second chance, Love Underdogs’ long-term vision is a future where Romanian dogs can be safely cared for and adopted within their own country.
