We got our little dog Djinni through Sadies and she is a total joy. We have been so impressed with the professionalism, compassion and total devotion the Sadies folk bring to the cause, before, during, and long after the adoption. Can’t thank you enough for the little bundle of happiness you have brought into our lives!

🥳🎉🇳🇱 Happy Bus News 🥳🎉🇳🇱Netherlands 🇳🇱 bound! 🥰 Four very sweet souls on board the Happiest Bus of them all! 🚌💨🥳💕A huge thank you goes to the wonderful Carlo Bakker at Stitchting Happy Dogs of Romania for making all of this possible. 💫🥰 We are so grateful.This bus was truly feline powered. 🐱🐈🐈⬛ Shall we see who popped on board? 👀Let's start with our one & only dog on this bus, & what a special little gentleman he is. 🥹🧡 Arthur 🧡 Our extraordinarily, characterful, little gentleman has really been through the wringer. He'd clearly been abandoned, found wandering the streets vulnerable & disoriented. 🙏As if that wasn't enough, he also required significant veterinary care to get him strong & ready for his next chapter.Thanks to our incredible Sadies family, every single medical need was covered. ✨💪🤩 We cannot thank you all enough for such an extraordinary show of love & devotion.Arthur now heads off to the most wonderful retirement home, where he will be loved & cherished for the rest of his days. 🥰 For Eva Maarschalk, it was absolutely love at first sight, & now the best is yet to come, for both of you. 💕 Thank you. 💕Arthur was so kindly named & sponsored by Catherine Squirrely. ✨️🌹🐾 Thank you for your kindness.🐈 Jess 🐈Our special boy, Jess, was found in the most shocking & heartbreaking state. Tragically, his three siblings were found deceased. 😢Like Arthur, he needed veterinary care, & just look at him now. 🥰 A different cat. 😘Lovely Johanna Laycock so lovingly named & sponsored Jess, also committing to helping with his veterinary costs. ✨️🌹🐾 You truly have a big heart & we're so grateful for your love & support.Jess is being lovingly fostered by José Veldhoven. 🥰 Thank you so much for giving him this wonderful opportunity to thrive. 💕🐾🐱🐈 Charlie & Zaira 🐱🐈Gentle Charlie was spotted in a remote area, desperately seeking the comfort of shadows. Alone, cold, & vulnerable. 🙏Charlie was so kindly named & sponsored by Mary Lancefield. ✨️🌹🐾 His neuter was so warmly covered by Toni Hartley & Debbie Julie Moggridge. You are all so kind, we cannot thank you enough. ⭐️💕Zaira was found living in a cemetery. Lovely Diana Balan reached out to ask if we could help with her spay, & of course we did. ⭐️Diana so kindly took her home to recover & quickly realised that this sweet, loving girl was meant for a home.Meanwhile, the lovely Gwen Da (Mummy of our Debs / Pepsi 🐶) spotted Charlie's post & asked about fostering him, wondering if he might have a friend.In a beautiful twist of fate, we introduced Charlie & Zaira, & oh my goodness, it really was love at first sight. 😍 They immediately hit it off. 💕Since arriving at Gwen's lovely home, they have continued to blossom side by side. 🥰 Thank you for giving them this wonderful opportunity, together, Gwen. What an extraordinary gift you've given them. 🤩🫶 Zaira's spay was so generously covered by Stichting Pootjes Roemenië, & Gwen also so kindly named & sponsored her. ✨️🌹🐾 Gwen told us that Zaira is a girl's name with Arabic, Hebrew, & Slavic roots, & usually means "radiant," "light," or "blooming flower". Well, we think it suits her perfectly. 😍 A beautiful name choice, Gwen. 🫶A bus steeped with pure love & happy tears. 🥹 Thanks to everyone who made this happen. 🥰💕🐾🌹✨️
🧡 Meet Three Gorgeous Puppies - Ollie, Coco, & Violet 🧡Just eight weeks old & utterly scrumptious. 🥰Ollie, Coco, & Violet came into our care after being born as an accidental litter. Their mummy is a Bichon & their daddy a small-sized mix. Sadly, when the puppies didn’t turn out white like mum, they were no longer wanted. 💔We truly have no words.The good news is that mummy has now been adopted by the owner’s niece & will be spayed, so this can’t happen again. 🙏And of course, we welcomed these precious babies without hesitation. 🫶Ollie has been lovingly named & sponsored by a member of the team, Dee, in loving memory of their own beautiful boy, who they suddenly lost a few days ago at 17 years young. He too was once unwanted in Romania, abandoned in freezing conditions, before finding love & safety.Now his name carries forward, a legacy of love, a safe ending gifted to one Ollie, & a supported beginning gifted to another Ollie. 🫶 The love truly comes full circle. 💕Beautiful sister 1, pictured with her white snowman ⛄️ teddy, has so kindly been named & sponsored by Tracy Church. Violet has been named in loving memory of Tracy's beautiful girl, who was also called Violet. 🙏🌹✨️Beautiful sister 2, pictured with her orange doggie 🐶 teddy, has so kindly been named & sponsored by Anja Ascheberg. Coco has been named in loving tribute to Anja's beautiful Greek girl. 🙏🌹✨️Sponsorship forms a vital part of their rescue journey, preparing them for the happy futures they deserve. We cannot thank you all enough for your kindness, & for sharing your love forwards. ✨️🫶Thank you to every single one of you for your huge hearts. The Sadies family truly changes lives, this is rescue at its very best. ✨Once they are ready, they will be available for adoption within the EU in the following countries: 🇧🇪 Belgium🇩🇰 Denmark🇫🇷 France🇩🇪 Germany 🇳🇱 The Netherlands. 🐾🐕💕

🧡 Meet Gracie, aka Laura & Bobo's little punk rocker 😂🧡We first noticed beautiful Gracie when she came into our vets for a spay, so generously covered by Dutch Animal Care as a part of one of their vital spay & neuter programmes. ⭐️ Such incredible work, thank you so much. 👏🫶When we learned she was going to be returned to the village where she came from, we knew we had to give her a little helping hand as soon as we could.Understandably, Gracie was a little shy & reserved at first. So, with care & kindness, we used a humane trap cage to help us gently rescue her & gain her trust.But it didn’t take long at all for the real Gracie to shine through. 😄Once she realised she was safe at the shelter, & what a good “gig” it is, she blossomed into the most affectionate little pocket rocket! 🥰 She’s also a very clever girl & knows exactly how to make cleaning her kennel difficult... 🤦🏼♀️🤣Why? Because she’s far too busy trying to distract Laura & Bobo with her dancing in order to win their attention, & as many cuddles as possible. 💕 Her antics are absolutely adorable, honestly, who could resist? 😍 She’s definitely making up for lost time, bless her heart. 🫶Gracie is around a year old & is 10kg... but oh my goodness, all that fluff & that little punk rocker hairstyle. 😂Gracie has so kindly been named & sponsored by Sue Baker, who has also so generously covered her much needed groom & pamper session. 🛁✨️ Such wonderful support, thank you ever so much, Sue. 🌹Once she's ready, Gracie will be available for adoption within the EU in the following countries: 🇧🇪 Belgium🇩🇰 Denmark🇫🇷 France🇩🇪 Germany 🇳🇱 The Netherlands⬇️ More lovely photos of Gracie in the comments ⬇️
