VIEWING THE RESCUE DOGS IS BY APPOINTMENT ONLY

We do not operate on an open kennel policy, our kennels are closed to the public unless an appointment is booked following a successful application.

Is an Oakwood Rescue Dog the Dog for you?

Our dogs are ex-street dogs from Romania. Due to their background we have no history on them.
They have never lived in homes before and many cannot walk on a lead.
Our dogs are not housetrained due to never living in houses.
You must commit to having the dog in the home for a minimum of 4 weeks.
You must not be moving house within the next 3 months as the dog needs a lot of time to settle.
You must not be going on holiday within 8 weeks of applying for a dog.

If you are moving or going on holiday we ask that you please apply when you are back or fully moved and settled to avoid any disruption when the dog is taken home.

Oakwood Dog Rescue works closely with International Dog Rescue to save the dogs on euthanasia lists. Without their sponsors the dogs would not be alive today...

It is important that applicants educate themselves on the treatment of Romanian street dogs to begin to learn how much the dogs have gone through and understand what makes them so frightened of the world.

Please click the button below before applying for a dog, it may answer some questions you have about Romanian dogs.
