      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 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 👍

    *** 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

      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 🥰

    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

    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

    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!

    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 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. I am so glad that you and James decided to adopt. It is such a beautiful thing to do. I am watching your video now with my puppy, Toby, and he is completely amazed by the little one :>

    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🥰

    So happy for you, my beagle baby boy was 13 and a half, he passed away from kidney failure this June, I'm heart broken, they bring so much joy, he was on Burns dog food, really good for them, organic & pure, read up or ask your vet, I have friends that had dogs with tummy problems, they changed to Burns & they had great results, hope this helps, have lots of fun with your new fur baby 🐾❤🐾❤🐾

    it makes me so happy that you are showing your journey to adopt/ get a rescue dog! there are way too many breeders and way too many dogs in rescue places! we have a rescue dog we got as a puppy who is now 10 and i would only get rescue dogs now! You can also get a DNA test done for the dog to see what breed they are if you want to find out! ❤️
    Can’t wait to see future vlogs of her growing up, she looks so happy already!! xxx

    It says a lot about who James is as a man that he is so sweet and tender with pinky. You got yourself a real sensitive man who’s in touch with his feelings which to me means a lot because there’s nothing worse than a man who’s all macho and denies the way they feel. He’s a lovely guy and u three gonna be very happy for sure. Xxx

    Hiya Soph! So exciting!! I know you’ve had her a while now but thought I’d comment because I’m only just watching this video!
    We have a Lhasa Apso (a small dog) and we feed him chicken and veg and it works out so cheap compared to buying dog food like kibble!
    We give him chicken, courgette, carrots, green beans, peas and we add in rice every now and then too! 🥰 we serve him half a cup and he loves it!

    Best part of having a dog for the last 7 years is travel with it, my dog is a support dog and has to be with me. Leaving my rescue baby beagle at home after the was she was abused by testing centres is not an option 🥰🤗 me and my partner have been so blessed with her, its the most amazing time ever especially with lock down❤️
    Also don't let her pee on the grass, she we stain it yellow 😂

    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 🥰

    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! It’s recently just turned seven years since I rescued her and I’ve tagged you in the post on Instagram just so you can see how special she is! 💙

The first dog was named Red but we changed it to Chico and It totally fit, the second we kept the Name Paco and that also fits perfect. Have so much fun. Congrats!

    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.

    I’m from Romania, I’m a volunteer in an Animal Rescue Organization and most of our rescues get rehomed in the UK. That’s mostly because of the amazing way people treat dogs in the UK compared to Romania, where they mostly are viewed simply as pets. I really hope everything will be amazing with the pup, as I’m sure she will be forever grateful for you giving her a forever home 🥰. Thank you for choosing to adopt 🐶
