Our Story

Our Story…

Love Underdogs was set up by animal lovers who wanted to make the world a better place by helping and supporting some of the most unwanted, abused, neglected and voiceless dogs.

Dog

The journey started with a dog shelter we visited in Romania. Having seen the conditions locally, we had to help… Love Underdogs was born and we have never looked back since!

With the help of caring people in the UK and our Romanian partners AMP, we started rehoming dogs from the Victory shelter in Brasov, whose lives had been nothing but pain and suffering when all they wanted was love.

Seeing their destiny change and their eyes, previously filled with sadness and despair, come alive was just magical. What could be more wonderful than to see those faces light up at the thought of life taking a turn for the better?

Great things can be achieved when we all work together towards a common goal, creating more happiness in the world. We welcome you to join us on this wonderful journey, it is a fabulous privilege to be able to make a difference and we would like to share it with as many as we can.

The Love Underdogs rehoming program is part of a bigger picture aiming at changing the management of stray dogs in Romania, starting with a pilot operation in Brasov. Our colleagues in Romania have been making a difference in the Brasov area of the Transylvanian mountains for the past 18 years and we are privileged to work alongside such a dedicated team, as well as BMT Germany and the Brigitte Bardot Foundation.

With your support, we contribute to neutering campaigns, local education programs, support and supervision at the local pound, previously one of the most notoriously cruel kill shelters in the whole of Romania, has been turned into an exemplary place where dogs are cared for and no euthanasia of healthy dogs takes place. We send supplies collected by our supporters over to the shelter monthly as well as funds for vaccinations and medical care.

Whilst we take great pride in finding good homes for these truly amazing dogs, our aim to effect long lasting change in Romania through our support with the hope that one day, all Romanian dogs will be adopted in their country.
