I was reading an article the other day about rehomed dogs from Romania.. apparently alot come over carrying "brucellosis" which is not tested by the charities.. it can be fatal for your dog and can be passed on through just contact with other dogs! I hope this doesn't offend anyone its just that the advice from vets is to get your dog tested for it if it is brought over from another country to be on the safe side 😊 amazing to see people adopting 🙌

[@redrumax]

@@hannahkidd2514 Lies. I have one of those dogs and I know many others. This is just media lies to discourage the dogs from abroad being brought to this country.

[@hannahkidd2514]

@@redrumax theres always one 🙄 I wasn't saying every dog that comes over has it.. as I said I just read an article so its worth asking your vet which I dont see any harm in.. i'm not a vet so I can only go off what I've read but I seen a local dog rescue put a post out about having to put a dog to sleep because of it and thought it could be helpful to someone who has just adopted.. hopefully it doesn't discourage people adopting in the future as its more responsible than buying from puppy farms 👍 have a nice day 👍

[@Ck-qf6wz]

*** PLEASE READ*** Awe guys she adorable. I volunteer for a rescue that rehomes dogs from Romania. But one bit of advice is she will be very scared on walks so please please double lead her. One on the harness and one of the collar. Rommies can be flight risks and can run off if startled so please please listen to this. Please like my comment so soph sees x

[@sophdoeslife]

Thank you for this!! Yes we have a double lead for her collar and harness when we start taking her on walks, we’ve been advised to let her settle and trust us for the first week but we will definitely be following this advice! ❤️

Up

[@TwistedDreamzz]

yes it does! I've used DNA testing on two of my rescues, and the results show up to 4 generations previous too! we rescued a purebred ginger lab and a mixed breed chocolate cockerpoo (she's 2/3 poodle and 1/3 cocker). it helps to know the breed better so you can adapt training etc.

As someone who rescues from Romania myself, this is amazing to see. I run a group called The Rescue Company on Facebook and we try to help many dogs in Romania and other places! We campaign to spay these dogs and find fosters for them to give them better living conditions. It’s very hard sometimes as I’ve seen numerous horrific things that these dogs have to face but someone of your platform helping them and encouraging people to help is truly amazing. I had two Romanian rescues. One sadly passed away earlier this year but the other is still with me and is the most affectionate dog you could meet. I would 100% recommend feeding your dog chappie wet and dry food as it’s natural and easy on the tummy. Other dog food can be very rich and cause bloody diarrhoea. She’s beautiful! I have lots of knowledge on rescue dogs etc and good charities to adopt via if anyone is ever interested! Thank you for adopting 🥰

[@teodoraradoi1479]

Sometimes I hate my mom for not letting me have a dog. I’m from Romania and I care deeply about dogs and cats and the way they are treated in my country most of the times, brakes my heart. It’s a blessing people like you and Soph adopted from my country and I’m so thankful

[@EmAmortentia]

I’m not kidding, I paused this video after you said to her “we’re going to give you the best life”. I burst into tears, and ran to my partner. We adopted a rabbit, our little girl Kira, back in 2018. She was so badly abused and neglected, and I remember telling her that exact same thing. I’ve been crying for like 15 minutes, and my face is all puffy. You’ll be the best parents to her (and yes, you can be a parent to a child that isn’t human), and she’ll know that over time. Thank you for giving her a new start! Humans can be so cruel, but this isn’t the case here 💖 xxx

[@aliuros8552]

I adopted three rabbit's, their so sweet, and i can't believe anyone would treat them badly

[@laurensimmons6159]

"Don't jump up on the sofa", that's what we used to say to our dog, now he sleeps in my parent's bed with them 😂 she is too cute x

[@peerreviewed]

Yeah, we started off not letting Artie on the sofa, then realised we couldn't cuddle him if he wasn't on the sofa... Only reason he isn't allowed on the bed is because he's a greyhound, so both massive and also very low body fat aka he is a bag of triangles and so would be a pain to sleep with 😂

[@laurabadiu5618]

This has honestly brought tears to my eyes. I'm from Romania and we struggle with so many stray dogs and cats here, it's extremely heartbreaking and overwhelming. I know many people from the UK adopt dogs from us and I always felt so grateful towards them but now, seeing that you, who I've followed and admired for so many years, got a dog from here, is just... amazing. Your kindness is what this world so desperately needs. Thank you, Soph & James!

[@ItsSabrinaaa]

I will always adopt a dog that needs a home, my little girl I have now had around 5 previous homes and its their loss as she is the most AMAZING loving little girl my life wouldn't be complete without her.

[@aimeecoyne6996]

I have a rescue dog, he's a pug!!! a wee tip for training is to buy a bell on eBay, it hangs on the door. when ur dog needs out encourage her to ring the bell and let you know. we've done this with mine since he was a puppy, he's now 2 and rings it when he needs the toilet, fed or watered 😂😂it helped massively!! best of luck with ur new wee bundle of joy Xxx

Oh my. This made me so emotional. I rescued my dog from Romania. Came from the kill shelters with half an ear, barely any teeth and half a tale. He was so under weight. A few months later he’s gained weight & just so happy. He was already so happy to live with us. Generally so happy with my poochy. Couldn’t recommend rescuing enough!! Also, we used rainwrights dog food for him which helped his stomach when he came to us. Now he’s on solid dog biscuits. Welcome home pinky!! 😍😍 We chose to keep our dogs name too because it’s the only identity they’ve ever known. But it’s just amazing what you’ve done xxxx

[@judith8604]

Barf (natural food) is awesome! You can find it in freezers of some pet shops or just Google for a good webshop that sends it as most shops don't. If she likes it -and if you want to feed it- prey animals are great as well as they get a lot more organs and bone from those. They're also mixed into the freezer rolls (Berfmenu, lotgering, Tammenga, Kobo are the main brands i think) to some extent, but not really enough. There are several weekmenu's available online though!

[@jasminelennon7810]

Cannot express how happy I am that you chose to rescue, so amazing🤍

[@alouettek]

I remember when I first got a dog I was so over the moon because I had longed one for so long (and I was like 11 or 12) but it's been like 8-9 years now, and I still feel so happy and lucky that I got to be with her (and now even more because of the virus) and even luckier that she's my dog like I can't believe (and I might sound cheesy) that I have really like a best friend that is loyal, funny, loving and warm; and remember “Dogs are not our whole life, but they make our lives whole” so I hope you cherish every moment with her.

At the end of the day, whatever she is, you have done a beautiful job giving her a much better life than she could have had over there! rescue dogs are truly the best 🖤

[@boundingheartgames]

We rescued a dog from Romania 7 years ago and it was the best thing we ever did! She was about 1-2 years when we got her. We have had some issues with her because she needed surgery on her back legs quite soon after getting her but it’s made the world of difference. She is a nervous dog around people, dogs and moving lights. But miles better from when we got her In terms of food we feed grain free (mainly because of our other dog who has to be fed grain-feed) and we just feed dry mostly. I think the main thing to look out for is to just get her insured and then take her to the vets and get her checked out. Just to make sure there aren’t any issues from malnutrition, because even though rescue centres in Romania try their best they just have so many dogs to look after. Our rescue is now an older lady who is starting to slow down a little bit she is still the sweetest thing who would loves lying on the sofa with us

I rescued my dog when I was seventeen. My parents signed the adoption papers as I was under eighteen but then the rest of her registration with the vets, microchip etc all went in my name. She moved out with me one year later when I was eighteen. She’s been the best thing to ever happen to me. I was in such a rough place at the time and she genuinely saved me. She became my hero, my guardian, my therapist, my soulmate and best friend. I’m so here for you guys rooting for rescues because more people with bigger platforms need to do this!

I am from Romania and, yes, I can confirm that we have a bit of a problem with stray dogs. There are rescue places, shelters and stuff but not all of them are that great. Of course, we have organisations and shelters, mostly, that are really good environments for dogs. Unfortunately, some of them are not. There are people and people, some fight for dogs and some abandon them. There's not really much you can do in order to change the way they're seeing things. I love you even more now.

Vet nurse here 🙋‍♀️ food wise, I’d recommend Hills, Royal Canin or Purina Pro Plan. They have life stage diets (puppy, adolescent, adult etc) as well as prescription diets if Pinky ever needed this in the future. They are nutritionally balanced and developed my veterinary experts, and are very good quality foods! It can sometimes be a bit of trial and error finding what each individual dog prefers and what agrees with them. Always make sure any diet change is gradual (over a week or two ideally) to minimize risk of stomach upsets. There’s no reason that you can’t mix in some natural food/ meat with kibble as long as the calories are balanced. I’m sure you’ve already done lots of research, you seem really well prepared for your pooch! In terms of training, lots of positive reinforcement (and patience) is best! Clicker training is also really good if she’s showing signs of wanting to work for her reward. She’s such a cutie and looks like she’s definitely landed on her feet 🥰

[@larissarenes8297]

[@zoe.orenda]

Some tips after getting our Border Collie during the first lockdown!! All dry, wet and raw food are good for them. If choosing dry food PLEASE avoid commercial brands recommended by vets are normally are sponsored and actually have bad ingredients such as grains which dogs shouldn’t even eat in the first place as their natural diet would be meat/vegetables. Good dry food brand are Skinners Field & Trial, and as a personalised subscription Tails is great as well. If you feed a mixed diet of dry & wet food, feed one in the morning and the other at night, if mixed it can really hurt their stomach as natural food has a fast digestion time and energy burns quick, whereas dry food can take 8-10h to get through their system. If going for a raw BARF diet I definitely recommend studying on the matter and getting from a subscription company they deliver to your house and stuff ☺️ Also natural chews are THE way 😛 avoid rawhide as its very bad for them and can cause issues down the line. And obviously if feeding raw, feed only raw bones, not cooked ones as those will splinter, always making sure the dog knows how to chew and supervising them 🥰

So cool that you adopted a dog with an association! She really seems to enjoy his new home 😉 I traveled in Romania for my studies (i did french teaching there) and i saw so many dogs out in the streets.... It was so painful for me who love animals and it's a good things that association like that exist to take care of this poor dogs 😊😘

So happy you got a rescue dog and are recommending adopting them. We have bought 3 yorkies as puppies over the years and adopted our 4th yorkie last year. We had always decided 3 was enough but someone approached us, knowing we had 3 yorkies and that they had one at their shelter who would fit perfectly into our lives. We're so glad we decided to and she really does complete our little yorkie family and now will always adopt in the future. They are a bit more difficult but it is so so worth it seeing them come out of their shell and becoming more confident settling in to their forever home🥰🥰

Soph she is so cute!! Please do some research into feeding and always take into account a veterinarians advice, there is a lot of misinformation on the internet. Also I would recommend getting decent pet insurance too :) I am a Registered Veterinary Nurse if you need any advice! 💕 x

@@mariaalltheway Yay for VNs! 😁 good luck for your OSCE's!

[@elizabethbutler8619]

Aw congratulations! Both our dogs are rescue staffies. Rescues are just the best so full of love you will have the best life with her ❤️ EDIT - Hunters dry food mixed with Forthglade wet food is a great combo for feeding her x

Hey Soph, if you’re wondering about what dog food to get, this website is really useful for telling you about the nutritional content of the food www.allaboutdogfood.co.uk/the-dog-food-directory Originally I stuck to the dog food the rescue centre gave my dog, but my dog trainer recommended trying a better quality one without as many unnatural ingredients (so help her calm down a bit 😂). My dog really likes the new “millies wolfheart” food - it’s a bit more pricey, but much better for her in the long run.

a dogs tail never lies!!! you guys are gunna be the best dog parents ever!!! ngl sobbed thru this entire video

[@fionamurray2791]

Looks like she's going to be a daddy's girl lol, she definitely looks like a kokoni, I think that's what my girl is ( also from Romania) xx

[@evasinead443]

Congratulations she is adorable! For dog food I definitely recommend Butternut Box. My mum gives her dog this food and she suffers with having a bad tummy often but the food is so good for her. You get a month's worth of food delivered to go in your freezer and it's all proper food! Enjoy your lovely dog xxx

[@Depressed1101]

Get a dog DNA test! They are really amazing. You can get one through your vet or can get one on Amazon

[@paigepalmer1364]

I have a husky cross with an Alaskan malamute and he’s on a raw diet, so we get raw mince delivered to the house which we keep in the freezer from this dog food lady and then we boil and mash veg that he can have e.g. sweet potato, carrot, broccoli. We just googled and spoke to the vets about quantities of each. Hope that helps with pinky’s food! She’s adorable🥰

Poor James keeps trying to talk and you keep talking over him lol. Gorgeous pup ❤️

[@tegenbarnier7676]

I got a Romanian rescue in August and it’s the best thing I’ve ever done! I’m so happy to see others doing the same❤️

[@Holly-gg2qv]

She looks like she’s crossed with a golden retriever and a corgi not sure x

[@tayladeane7656]

Shouldn’t have watched this on my period, crying soooo much over the life those dogs had in other counties and how they are getting a better life 😭😭. So happy for you guys, she’s the cutest thing
