Thank you so much! You are wonderfull people!
I'm from Romania and it breaks my hart that so many dogs are suffering ..and too many people are insensitive to them .
I have a Romanian rescue also. We have shared our lives for 4 years now. For the first few days I didn't even look him in any the eye it was completely up to him what he wanted to do.
I now have the closest soulmate imaginable.
He is so wonderful, thank you for adopting him and giving him the life he deserves! As a Romanian, l am so touched and happy when l see people adopting abroad. Here we sadly have way too many strays and authorities do absolutely nothing to stop this issue. My parents have a shelter also (about 200 dogs) and all the dogs are adopted in Netherlands, Germany... very few here. May you have many happy years together and hope your video inspires others to adopt as it is literally saving their lives. All of them deserve to know what a loving home feels like!
Awe, thank you ❤ and thank you to your parents for doing an amazing job in those circumstances 🥰 xx
In Sweden there are several organisations adopting Romanian rescues too, so we have taken in several thousand dogs by now.
Its good to see that they now are finding homes in the UK too
Thank your parents for being true heroes and saving dogs under such difficult circumstances!
@@annkristinbarnes4596 That is so wonderful! If possible, could you help me with some names? l would love to contact a few organisations from there and help my parents send some of their dogs! I have personally traveled to Sweden and was very impressed by how Swedish people treat their dogs and how well taken care of they looked. Thank you so much!
@@YellowJade23 you could search for rescue organisations in Sweden. There are several that rescue dogs from Romania. My girl is from an organisation called Hundar söker hem.
@@YellowJade23Sorry I did not see your reply until now! Depending on where in Romania you are, different organisations will be active. My dogs come from Andrea Berar in Alba Iulia via Christina Larsson in the south of Sweden, who runs her own placement service. She may have enough to do already with her contacts dogs, though.
I know of another woman, Lisa Steiner, who has just started helping dogs from Romania and is also very reliable and successful in placing dogs. I will find her email for you!
I volunteered in romania in 2019 and had to leave early due to the animal abuse I witnessed. I managed to get one over from there tho that I met on my trip. I named him smiley, cost me about £1500. But it was all worth it as he is now safe in Scotland with his forever home. (He is not with me as I have 2 rescues already)
I also adopted girl from Romania, 4 months old when I got her. She is now 7 months old. She has some injuries on her ears and is afraid of plastic bags and water (it’s getting better) I always wonder what she went through in those shelters.
I am so sorry ! Thank you for helping the animals in country!
I hope more people from Romania open them hart and help this wonderfull souls
Nothing gets a scared dog back to normal than another dog buddy to play and live with. Just an observation from many rescue videos.
I thought the exact same thing.
Both my dogs are from Romania, they are so amazing, they need a good home!! More people need to adopt dogs!! I’m so happy for you
Agree. Mine is from Serbia. And she is such a sweet girl.
Thank you!
So happy you adopted! Shelters have many wonderfully stray dogs waiting for their forever families. I know because I found one myself today. He's still a pup but is the cutest little bundle of silliness. He gets into everything and I'll have to puppy proof my home a little for him.
It's nice a dog is getting a good home wherever he is from. He is such a sweet dog. Only thing I didn't like was near the end when you were sitting on the couch you called him and he went to put his paw up for some affection and you sternly told him no. He was only reacring to your call and wanting some affection. Bless him. I got my rescue dog when she was 5 and I was only to happy to cuddle her whether it was on the couch or the floor. Whichever she was happy with. But saying that you've done a good thing giving him a home.
If you have seen any of our other vlogs then you would know that he has his place on the sofa now and is given so much love and cuddles. All the advice when you first get a rescue, especially without knowing any of his background is to not let them on sofas or bed etc due to guarding issues they may have. Remember this is just a glimpse of his first few days. Please do not judge on a few minutes of a TH-cam video. We had moment with him where he would put a paw up, then his full body and then refuse to back down - which when you don’t know their background can be very intimidating. Therefore this was not something we wanted to encourage, Because we were quite strict to begin with it means now he is so much better with boundaries and instruction, and gets to enjoy all the love we can give. Now we know him so much better too we can tell when it’s just a paw for more tickles or wanted treats or it’s something else. Plus he knows us better too x
@@adventureswiththepolleys I can only comment on what I see. So thanks for the explanation. The main thing is you are giving him a loving home which I wish more people could do as dogs are so precious and give so much love back. You're doing a good thing.
Wonderful video. Thank you Chloe for adopting him and treating him so gently.
🥰
How precious is he???? Such a handsome boy. I'm so happy that he found a loving home.
I highly recommend potty bells for the door. They work great for my Max. 💗
poor thing going to sleep standing up ah bless him
He was so worried that if he fell asleep he would be taken or something would happen. Now he's always asleep 😴 😂 bless him , never too far away though xx
Thank you so much for your reply. I'm sure your boy is one of the luckiest pups ever. I wish you all the best and it's fabulous that you care so much .
I do have a look a like dog from Romenia since 6 years . He was a puppy when i took him in. But now i see your video..Your dog is acting the same of my dog. These animals from Romania are very protectful and want to take care of of you ! Great dogs ! Sorry for my bad English..I do come from The Netherlands ! Please take care for you and your dog. .Greetings frim The Netherlands .!
Too bad i cannot send you a picture of my Romanion dog..
Thank you for your message. They certainly are lovely dogs. Love to you and yours from the UK ❤
@@adventureswiththepolleys ..Thank you Chloe ! Have a nice evening.! Greetings from the city of Gouda in The Netherlands !
Watching how he was sooo tired but still tried his best to stay alert broke my heart... He is such a gentle and friendly boy, thank you for adopting him and giving him a chance to live a beautiful life.
Aww I have 5 dogs, three from Romania. The same guy brought my little Olive to me last year. I wonder if they were on the same happy bus? So lovely to watch.
Thank you!
So great to give him a real home
Crunch crunch, he's such a loud eater
Munch munch it's so cute!!
I am hoping to adopt a similar dog from Romania. This video was super useful to get an idea of what to expect. You are so quiet, calm and gentle. He is such a lucky dog. He seems so lovely, so you are lucky too!
So cute. I rescue mine from Spain. he is gold.
I have adopted a dog from Romania 2 months ago, she has been found in street, age around 6 years, she was so terrified the first days, she didn't want to come into my house :( Now she has found the better bed to sleep, she is very friendly with my other dog and me, but she is still affraid about collars and leash, I think it will take long time to let her show that it"s not dangereous, but when I have seen videos about dogcatchers, I understand why she is so affraid about it :(
Thank you for your adoption, your dog is very cute and he has found a good family for sure :)
Thank you from France
Thank you, it really is about giving them the time they need to decompress and settle ❤️ hopefully your other dog will help with the process too. It’s mainly about desensitisation, so just leave the collar / lead out somewhere and keep putting treats around it, make it a positive thing. You’re doing an amazing thing. Thank you for your comment xxx
@@adventureswiththepolleys Thank you for your help for my dog, I will try this way, but the good thing is that she is getting very curious when I get collar with my other dog who is very happy because for him, it's because we go outside to make a long walk in forest :)
I have bought a harness, she seems to be less afraid about it, so I put it for her, put it out, get food after, and repeat all few times in a day but I let her sometimes in relax with nothing... as I said, she is so a nice dog, very friendly, I will take all the time she need
Love it! My girl arrived from Romania in June last year and it has been so much fun to see her development over the past 7 (almost 8) months. Best thing I ever did. Planning to get another dog this year either from Romania or from Ireland as we don't have rescue centers for dogs in Sweden. Max is absolutely gorgeous btw :)
He is beautiful . Just needs some time
Kind people ✌️💙🐶
Beautiful boy, so tired at the end bless him. I have two rescues, one from Romania and who knows what they have been through. My Coco is very nervous of strangers still after several years but has is so sweet. Happy days. Andy UK
😢😭😢😭 I am in tears, it’s so sad! But enter Chloe and Nathan 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 you two are amazing and max is soooo cute xx
Looking back on these I forgot how scared he was 😥 and just how far hes come x
@@adventureswiththepolleys so nice
My sweet girl is from Serbia. She arrived in November. Love her so much and I'm so glad I can give her the life she deserves.
Awe, I hope she has a lovely Christmas in her new home 🎄 ❤ x
How did it work on the day ? Ie pick up point and first few days ,
@@carolinehudson3503 well I was a little nervous because before I've seen her only on pictures. Would the dog be anxious? Would she like me? But she immediately came to me and at home she decided that she wanted to sleep in my bed.The first days it was strange for her to walk on the leash and of course she made the pooh inside the house. But after some days all was perfect.
Love her so much.
He is so lucky to have found a good home with you
Thank you ☺️
My heart sank when he reached his paw up beside you on the couch and you said "No," I don't want to be intrusive...I only wanted to mention it, sorry. He's a sweet boy, thank you for saving him! 💖
Thank you for your message.
This was his first day with us and previously he had been doing this and then putting both paws up n the sofa and when stood tall he felt quite over powering for a dog we had no idea about .
They warn you not to let them do this, as you have no idea about their guarding behaviours and to set boundaries early.
Now we have these boundaries in place and we know that he ‘ paws ‘ at us all the time for affection, he’s allowed on the sofa and bed for cuddles etc.
Without these early controls and making sure we knew Max’s behaviours first we may not have the dog we have today. Every step in the rehabilitation is crucial. For those that don’t do this sometimes the dog can become very guarded of areas like sofas and beds, and become very disobedient.
If you saw him now sprawled over my legs on the sofa... he’s a big softy (with us at least , still nervous of new people) x
@@adventureswiththepolleys Thank you so much for explaining that. It makes perfect sense!
@@diane9247 whenever I watch it back I say ‘ you meanie ‘ to a Nathan hehe. It was all a learning curve ❤️ x
❤
Thank you for rescueing. Loved the video.
Thank you x
My Spanish rescue puppy is due in December. Thankfully I think she’s too young (3 months old) to fully understand that she was abandoned, and I don’t think she’s had to fight too much for food etc since being born but seeing Max just reminds me how tough it must be for adult dogs to cope in a new environment. I’ll be vlogging my first day too! Thank you for putting this up. Bless you guys and Max; beautiful doggy x
Lovely vid, he's such a cutie. Our Romanian girl is arriving on Thursday! We're very excited and a bit anxious :-)
Awwwwww, just brilliant. After a tough start in life, Max has well and truly landed on all paws :-) Thanks so much for sharing.
Ok 👌 thank you for clarifying that ,and thank you for doing that and thank you for giving him a good home!!
He wants to get up and snuggle with you 😒 great video though, gives us newbies an insight as to what to expect
He’s still not a snuggler now he just likes to give you his paw. As we had only had a few hours with him by this point we didn’t know this or what his behaviours were. As you’re told not to let them onto sofas / beds in the first instance due to guarding issues (which are hard to undo) we needed to make sure he knew his boundaries. This method worked for us and has since meant we know him now and is allowed on sofa / bed he even has his own chair in the living room now x
Such a nice puppy .
Thank you so much for making this video and part 12 which I have watched. I can absolutely see why you fell in love with Max because he is absolutely adorable. My rescue from Romania is coming soon leaving on the 8th of October. I found lots of things helpful in your video and was very moved by Max and his wariness of his new surroundings. I was so nervous for you when it was past midnight and his arrival was imminent. and my heart just sank when he tried so hard to stay awake for fear of what might happened to him if he stopped guarding himself. I hope Max has gone from strength to strength and I'm so pleased he has such great parents here in the UK. ❤️🐾🐾🐾❤️
Gillian Morrison mines arrives 4/5 th from Romania. Begins journey on the happy bus on the 2nd and I think this is how my one will be too so sad to see how scared he was but it’s really real this video
@@marzipazi7498 awww all the best. Have a lovely happy love-filled life with your beautiful Romster angel ❤️🐾🐾🐾❤️
Awe this is so amazing to read, thank you . This is exactly why I wanted to document something of his journey. Although it did get very tough we have made so much progress with him in the last few months, as you will see in other vlogs - every hard moment was worth it. We still have a way to go with his seperation anxiety and he's still nervous in certain situations but you can't expect too much from them and he has come so far. It really is about giving them time... I hated every-time someone said that to us ' he just needs time' or ' give it time ' but they really do.
Part 3 ( which is day 2-4 ) is coming soon...I honestly got to the point where we didn't think we could keep him or cope but looking back I am so glad we pushed through and kept going.
If you ever need someone to talk to or have a question do not hesitate to get in touch.
Chloe x
Thank you Chloe. I really do know how challenging it can be. I've indirect experience of another adoption. When trust is won, it's truly magic. Good on you for not giving up on max. Goodness, my dog Maisie had me in tears some days, I even had panic attacks when I thought I really got close to the I can't cope with her, and she was born in Fife! But she's awesome. Benji leaves Romania tomorrow. I can't wait for my boy ❤️ thank you for being open to questions. Best wishes to you, Nathan and of course, Max ❤️
@@marzipazi7498 hope it's all going well. Let us know ❤️
My little girl arrives on the 14th November and I'm trying to be as prepared as I can for her arrival, your video was so helpful. Which rescue did you use? And how is Max settling?
Thank you for this. My Romanian pupp is coming today on the doggy bus. Xx
Oh exciting. Wishing you lots of love and happiness for the journey ahead x
I've just got a dog from Turkish Rescue!
These videos have been so interesting! We’re on the final stage of adoption for our Romanian pup... the home check! What questions did they ask you?
Awe that’s great. The process seems to take so long and then suddenly they are here. They asked me things like, what I would do in certain situations - like with any aggressive behaviour or if they showed signs of guarding. When I would feed them, how long would they be left for if I went to work, whether I had dogs before, who would look after him if we went away. If I didn’t know the answer to the situation ones I just said I would research the best course of action for that situation. They then just looked around the house via FaceTime. X
Updates on Max? 🥺🤩
Such a handsome boy!!
I will hopefully be doing an update video soon - watch this space! If you watch any of my more recent vlogs you can see just how much he's changed and how far he has come. xx
Lucky dog! I bet you chaps spoil him rotten!
Absolutely! My mum is worse though haha! Always a treat at her house for him.
He should of come with his blanket or toys or anything that he would find a comfort.
I don't think he would have had anything. He doesnt play with any toys even now. He does have his own blanket now though 🥰
Hi Chloe. Where did you adopt from, I mean what organization? I am also about to adopt a dog from Rumania :-) Very glad that I found your video!
Hello, we adopted from Pawprints 2 Freedom but we would necessarily recommend using them as we had a few issues along the way x
Lovely dog! How’s he getting on now?
Thank you. He is doing really well 😊 he has come so far, so much quicker than we thought he would. The turning point was definitely getting him out for walks. He is still nervous of new men and new noises but thats totally understandable. He also doesn't like to be left on his own but lockdown hasn't helped with that. Thanks for your comment. Chloe x
There are enough homegrown rescue dogs in the UK without those from other countries!
During the time that we adopted Max the rescues in the UK were not allowing applicants but thank you for your comment. We have also adopted from many UK rescues over years too x
beautiful dog. I would import a few to Norway, a small gang would do, but Norway forbids it.
What organization did you adopt your dog from?
Hello, we went through Pawprints 2 Freedom although I would not necessarily recommend them as we had some issues along the way.
Hows he doing now??
Did Max ever use or get used to his crate or did you just give up with it??
And how long was it before he stopped peeing indoors??
It must be difficult because you want to start potty training from day one, but if they’re too scared to even come near you at first, then you don’t have much say in the matter.
We gave up as he didn’t see it as his safe place. He just ended up using a comfy bed on the floor and has now been promoted to the bedroom on weekends but still sleeps downstairs absolutely fine during the week.
It took a few weeks to get him outside but once he was out he has only had one accident inside since then and I think that was more our fault for not letting him out when he needed rather than him just peeing indoors. We are unsure why but he just took to knowing he should go outdoors straight away, despite going indoors for weeks. As you can imagine we were so pleased xx
Ok, when did the collar go on? The vid skipped that bit?
He arrived with a very tight harness on. That he had obviously been in whilst in Romania. It was way too small for him.
I didn’t record every moment unfortunately. We were only using my phone to capture what we could.
We just kept feeding him treats through the collar and eventually he would let me pop it on and take off the old harness.
Which charity did you use?
Hi, what Breed is Max.
Hi, he is a mixed breed so we arent really sure but we think he definitely has some lurcher in him. They are such a mix from Romania.
how old is Max?
He is 3 and a half x
Whats the name of the rescue you worked with?
Hello, it was pawprints 2 freedom but we did have a few issues with them x
Chloe Pedlow thanks for the info 😊
No problem. Any questions don't hesitate to ask.... I will do a follow up video at some point 🙈
Chloe Pedlow I think it would be interesting to hear your review of the organization. There are so many rescue organizations out there that it sometimes feels very difficult to sort out the really good ones 🙈
Greetings from Florida 🏄♀️ God Bless You‼️❤️‼️ Please try to give Max 🐕 raw foods/ organ meats/ raw eggs/ also pulverize the egg 🥚 shells and add it to his food
Thank you for your comment. Chloe x
Take him outside for a long walk and he will bond with you. Also to see his neighborhood
We have actually had Max a year today and he’s over come so much, it’s taken a lot of hard work. If you watch our most recently video he’s just been on his first camping trip.
It took us over a month to get him outside on a lead and then that was just walking to the end of the road with out him getting too overwhelmed by all the new noises and things, so I think we were a long way off a long walk back then. But he loves them now. Thank you for your comment. Xx
So, let's get this straight, he came from Romania in a van directly and didn't go through mandatory UK 6 months animal quarantine?
I think you’ll find that changed in 2011. He has a Pet Passport and all necessary vaccinations confirmed in his travel documents. They have to wait 21 days from certain vacations until they can travel to the UK.
@@adventureswiththepolleys Ahhh, I stand corrected, ok. :) He's a handsome boy and as I type this I'm watching another of your Max videos. He seems to have settled in aye ok. Nice one. :) He'll be happy in his new forever home, I'm sure. There's a lot of love there for him, that's clear. 👍
Again, collar off and that bit was skipped. Why?
I’m not sure I fully understand your question. Apologies. These were just clips of what we managed to capture of Max’s first few days.
Not allowed on the couch😩
Haha, don't worry he's made his way up there now. We were very cautious to begin with because they can start to guard areas like sofas and beds. He now has his end of the sofa he can come on during the day and two other beds in the house haha 😄 . Chloe x
There are a lot of dogs in the uk too who need a good home so why is there this need to bring yet more in from other countries? Many of the major rescues such as Battersea Dog's home, Blue Cross and the RSPCA put thousands of dogs a year to sleep.
Hello, yes this is a question we have been asked before. We certainly tried the UK charities first but unfortunately it isn't always that simple.
Below is a link to a good article to explain why...
wunderdogmagazine.com/news/my-response-to-the-guardians-article-they-look-cute-but-should-we-rescue-romanias-street-dogs/
Everyone can be in a different situation and have their own reasons for their choices.
A report from 2018 shows an estimated total of around 1500 dogs were put to sleep, with 25 of those being because there was no rescue to take them in or anyone to look after them.
Unfortunately most are put to sleep due to behavioural issues or ill health.
It is very sad.
Thanks for your comment, Chloe x
I don't understand . Dogs need homes in Britain too. Why don't you adopt in Britain and donate the travel costs to Romanian rescues. This would save 2 dogs .
Hello,
Yes this is a question we have been asked before. We certainly tried, at the time, and contacted UK charities first but unfortunately it isn't always that simple.
Below is a link to a good article to explain why...
wunderdogmagazine.com/news/my-response-to-the-guardians-article-they-look-cute-but-should-we-rescue-romanias-street-dogs/
Everyone can be in a different situation and have their own reasons for their choices. These videos only show a glimpse of our situation and I would never judge anyone based on a TH-cam video.
We do also support many animal charities, not just with dogs, in the UK and abroad too.
Thanks for your comment, Chloe x
Why not rescue a dog in Britain ?

Thanks for you comment.
@@adventureswiththepolleys yes it is they are desperate for owners and its less hassle than getting a dog from abroad
What about the increasing number of animals being dumped due to lockdown in the U.K. ? Charity begins at home...cheaper too...
Thank you for your comment. We adopted Max back in June while others chose to buy lockdown puppies. It may have been a different situation if we were looking at UK charities to adopt now, but as previously posted on other comments we did try UK charities and unfortunately it’s not always that simple and we made the decision on our own circumstances. We also continue to support lots of UK based charities and others abroad. We would have not made our decision on where to adopt from because of the cheaper cost either. Please do not judge us or others from watching one or a few You Tube videos. Chloe x
I don’t get it…. U order a dog then seem so afraid of him and won’t let him on couch!!! Oh joy 🥲
We did not ‘order’ a dog we adopted one. If you read other comments that are similar to this then you would understand the reasoning behind not letting him on the sofa initially.
When you receive a dog , where you know none of it it’s previous history or behaviour, you have no idea how it will react or whether it will guard areas (like beds, sofas etc) and become protective over its space. When we first got Max he would put his front feet on the sofa and raise up to our faces and you couldn’t push him back don’t without him resisting, when you don’t know the dog this can be quite intimidating.
If you’ve seen more recent videos, you would know that he now is regularly on sofas and bed , and even has his own chair!
Rescuing a dog , let alone a Romanian rescue is a long journey and no step should be rushed into.
Please do not judge anyone before you have all the facts. It can be very upsetting to those that are actually trying to do good in this very cruel world. We are by no means perfect but who is?
Thank you for your comment.
I have adopted also a small dog from romania. I have a golden retriever also. My golden is allowed on the couch. My rescue not. She hasnt earned that privilige yet. You have to set some boundaries in the beginning. Its not mean but better for the dog.
Why would you laugh at him when he got scared?
I clearly was not laughing at him to be mean, being mean to him is not really the point of this video. I am not sure I would even call it laughing, , a sympathetic chuckle at worst, as it made me jump a little too and I do say 'awe, bless him '. We clearly care a lot about Max and to pick this one thing from this video, really? I'm sorry you felt that I were 'laughing at him'.
you can clearly see she a kind loving patient person with him i farted the other and it scared my cat who fell off the bed - report me to the RSPCA
