A UK adopter's field notes

Bringing a rescue dog home from overseas

We're going through the process — adopting Barnie, a 16-month-old boy from Romania — and I built this site to be the resource I wished existed: clear, honest, and specific to the UK process.

Everything here covers dogs coming from Romania, Cyprus, Bulgaria, Greece and Spain: the rabies titre and 21-day rule, transport day, the first three weeks of decompression, and insurance that understands imported dogs. Rescue profiles are checked and dated, so you can trust what you read. It's independent and in terms of adopting from Romania, documents our direct experience.
