Dogs for Adoption

How to adopt

Most of our dogs and puppies available for adoption are pictured below, or posted on our Facebook and Instagram pages! Please click the icons below to be taken to our pages, and please contact us if you would like more information about any of our dogs. We will be happy to tell you all about them! We will have more photos and sometimes videos too, so please feel free to ask!

All of our dogs and puppies are APHA brucellosis tested, vaccinated and microchipped, and all dogs over 7 months old are also neutered / spayed. Most of our dogs are based in our shelter in Romania and are brought to the UK upon receiving home offer. We do sometimes have dogs in the UK already who need homes – we will specify if a dog is in the UK already under their photo.

If you’d like to offer one of our lovely dogs a place in your family, please get in touch! You can contact us via our contact page, by email at info@pawsfornewbeginnings.co.uk, or via our Facebook and Instagram pages. We will be more than happy to talk you through our adoption process and arrange a home visit. When that’s all done, we can make arrangements for your new family member to travel home to you.

 NOTE – We have made the difficult decision to change our adoption requirements slightly. We now note that – for the most part – we can not allow new adoptions of adult dogs where children under 10 years of age live in the home. This was a difficult decision to make, but one we felt necessary, as we cannot properly child test our dogs in Romania. There may be some rare exceptions to this rule – for example, if the dog is young / a puppy, if a dog fostered in the UK or Romania has been properly tested with children, etc – please feel free to ask us if a particular dog or puppy can live with children!


We will do our best to get back to you as soon as possible! In most cases, we respond to messages and emails within 48 hours, but during busier periods, this may take slightly longer.
