We need to raise £500 now to secure their places in safety.


We need to ask for your help.


We have just one chance to step in and save two beautiful Boxers who desperately need us. Unless we can raise £500 now, we won’t be able to hold and secure their places in our Balkans kennels — and they will be at serious risk of falling into the wrong hands.


Sadly, we’ve seen it happen before. Dogs handed off to anyone, no checks, no safety net — and they either vanish without trace or reappear months later on the streets, confused, thin, and scared. We can’t let that happen this time.


Meet So Lana 💛

  • 5 years old, spayed

  • Very active and fast — loves toys

  • Apartment-raised, house trained, and walks well on lead

  • Well socialised in public spaces

  • Best suited to life as an only dog, or possibly with a calm male

  • No experience with children, but we’ll assess that once she’s safely in our care


Meet Mirko 🧡

  • 5 years old, neutered

  • Calm, confident, and well handled — previously a show dog

  • Social, people-friendly, and fantastic with female dogs and children

  • Excellent on the lead and very steady in new environments


What We Need Right Now

So Lana and Mirko are not yet ready for applications — but we need to get them safe first.


We urgently need to raise £500 now to hold and secure their spaces in our trusted kennels in the Balkans while we make arrangements for their rescue.


This gives us the vital time we need to:

  • Finalise transport

  • Begin medical checks

  • Prepare for their foster or rehoming journeys in the UK


While we do this, we’re also working hard to rehome the dogs already in our care. Every adoption or foster placement opens a space for another Boxer in need — like So Lana and Mirko.
