I cannot rate Santerpaws Bulgarian Rescue more highly. They do monumental rescue efforts for dogs in Plevin Bulgaria on very little funds. Their dedication and care for their animals is second to none... See more

Amazing rescue charity!

Amazing rescue charity! From the day we asked to adopt our little furbaby we've had brilliant communication, they even helped when another rescue dog we had adopted from another rescue when she began to have behavioural issues when they didn't need to. Registered charity which you can check on gov.uk. They have an adoption/merchandise shop/auction/owners page on Facebook, They're also on Instagram and Twitter! The owners page is brilliant as you can read other people's experiences and you can speak to them. The dogs/cats (they do rescue both!!) aren't adopted until they've been neutered, vaccinations are done, they come with their own passports! The adoption fee doesn't cover the costs and they rely on donations. The adoption process is easily explained and easy to complete. Thank you Santerpaws for bringing our beautiful furbaby to us

Rescued from this charity

Rescued from this charity. From start to finish they was very helpful. I can't recommend these enough they rescue these dogs have neutering injections etc done and feed them and look after them until they're adopted. They sort transport to u.k passports etc also. I'm very happy with my furbaby.

Incredible rescue, incredible dog

I'd been humming and ahhing about getting my dog a friend as she was always so sad when we had to walk away from dogs she'd met on her walks etc. and on a chance Santerpaws posted a picture of Vedra. My application and check was successful but sadly a few days later Vedra passed away due to an undeveloped heart that was later discovered. Santerpaws were nothing but kind and understanding and very kindly offered up Dolly Box (now Dottie) should I want to still continue with the process and help another dog. She's been the perfect highlight to our life and the best friend to my other dog, she really is everything that we were missing and hoping for (and more), I fully recommend Santerpaws to anyone who is looking to add a new friend to their lives, the support we got off them was incredible (and Dottie!)

They let us foster a lovely lil girl…

They let us foster a lovely lil girl called Bonnie. They were honest from the start about her behaviour so we knew fully what we were in for before fostering. She was a beautiful dog and thrived in a quieter environment which the rescue were right about. She's now adopted and living her best life in her forever home ❤️

Dodgy dog 'rescuers'

Dodgy. Foisted a wholly unsuitable and according to the Scottish Dogs Trust, an animal so emotionally broken they cannot rehome her. My mother is now stuck with an animal that will not eat, cannot be approached, will not leave the house. A dog that is not aggressive but not suitable for a pensioner with health issues.... apparently santerpaws are 'trying to find her another forever home'... of course they are.

Reply from Santerpaws Bulgarian Rescue

This dog was re-homed as requested, and she never left her emergency foster home because they loved her so much that they asked to keep her. The rescue is proud of it's inclusive approach to re-homing with couples, older people, disabled people and families who have children but for this to work well prospective adopters must be honest about their own additional needs and/or difficulties.
