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.
How You Can Help
If you’re able to contribute — even just a few pounds — it will help us reach that £500 target and secure these dogs’ futures.
