Just a few of our many wonderful adoptions ...

      Over the last 8 years we have found countless homes for pups and some adult dogs and also cats, especially during the years where we did not had our sanctuary in place. We don’t have much adoption documentation before 2015, so below you just see a few of the many after that, but we still have a few more to add so please watch this space. If you are interested to adopt a dog from us, please kindly fill in our adoption form the adopt/ sponsor page.
