Aura’s Dogs started off by helping one individual, Aura, with a handful of dogs in Romania. Dogs who a member of our team had met in Romania on a visit and fallen in love with.These dogs stood out because they had been waiting such a long time in the shelter, overlooked, unwanted, their shelter needed to be shut down, we feared they would be forgotten forever. We couldn’t stand it! We had to empty that shelter.

The idea was simple: get them proper vet care, blood tests, bring them to the UK, rehabilitate them in foster homes, and then rehome them to their forever homes! However, once that mission was over. How could we stop?! We knew there were other dogs in similar situations across the world, we knew they deserved a chance too.

We started off with just 2 people. 1 foster home (as one of us wasn’t even allowed dogs in their home!) and have since grown into a registered organisation, with hundreds of dogs happy in their forever homes.

We are still a small, independent rescue, with 3 dog loving ladies at the helm, and a handful of dedicated and passionate foster carers. We now focus our work here in the UK. Since the covid pandemic we have seen a stark rise in the number of abandoned, neglected, and even abuse cases here in our home country. Our stray kennels are full to bursting, dogs are facing euthanasia simply through lack of space! A terrible contrast from a nation who was proud to lead the way in our dedication to our dogs.
