About
What began as one person’s mission to save a dog has grown into a committed rescue network rehoming hundreds of dogs across the UK. We’re a non-profit organisation focused on rescuing and rehoming primarily Boxer dogs from the Balkans—places where dogs are often neglected, abused, or abandoned.
​
We operate with a core team of experienced, passionate volunteers and a growing community of adopters and fosterers. While we specialise in Boxers, we also regularly help other breeds including French Bulldogs, Boston Terriers, and mixed breeds that urgently need a lifeline.
​
We don’t take shortcuts. All our dogs are fully vet-checked, vaccinated, microchipped, and passported. Every rehoming decision is based on what’s best for the dog. We don’t find dogs for people—we find people for dogs.
​
Our work doesn’t stop at rehoming. We offer ongoing support, aftercare, community engagement, and education to make sure each adoption is a success for life.
​
We know we’re not the right fit for everyone—and that’s okay. But if you're ready to open your heart and home to a rescue dog in need, you're in the right place.

“From the edge of survival to the heart of a home.”
Our 10 Step - Way of Working
We have a simple 10 Step - Way of Working that we ask you to familiarise yourself with, it will help you to understand if we align with your expectations and if rescuing from us will be the forever home one of our dogs need. More detail of this process is covered in our Guides page.
Powered By You
Every step of our 10-step adoption process is designed to give each dog the best possible chance at a new life. But behind the scenes, none of it happens without funding.
