Hope4Paws UK & Spanish Rescue Recenzje 

Increíble la labor que hacen y como gracias a ellos tantos perros tienen por fin una vida, gracias, gracias.

I adopted my lovely Bruce from Hope4Paws UK and Spain. From the very beginning, they listened to my requirements, were incredibly helpful and communicative and kept me updated throughout the process. Bruce came to me from Spain, and I was even able to track his journey as he made his way to me which was really reassuring.
Bruce came from the streets, but he is a wonderful dog- lovely, affectionate and incredibly intelligent.
More recently, I had the opportunity to foster a second dog, Leon, a Spanish Mastin, through the charity. Leon arrived very shut down and traumatised by his past experiences, but underneath all of that he is truly a gentle giant. Watching him begin to feel safe and trust people has been incredibly rewarding.
The work this charity does in a world where, sadly people seem to care less and less about animals, is hugely important. They genuinely love the dogs in their care and work incredibly hard to give them a better life. That much is very clear to see and I find what they do and their commitment to the dogs, genuinely inspiring.

It is particularly disappointing to see negative comments that could potentially put people off adopting or supporting these dogs and ultimately it is the dogs that suffer as a result.
Hopefully anyone who truly loves dogs should want to see these vulnerable animals rescued, rehabilitated and given the chance to fine loving homes. These kind of charities should be supported for the important work they do, not vilified for trying to save dogs who might otherwise have nobody.

Thanks to these people, hundreds of dogs from Spain find a home where they experience love. And what is even more extraordinary, we are talking about adoptions of dogs that, due to their characteristics (for example: size), are invisible when it comes to being adopted. Thank you for everything, and keep saving lives!

Hello my name is Cristina , I rescue animals in the worst conditions in Spain
This rescue and Michele jones has helped me
To find amazing families for them
She’s just a precious soul, such a trust and lovely person ..
She always tries to help the animals with no chance , the ones no other rescues want to help , she helps the sick dogs , the injured ones.. she spends a lot of money , her own money to give them the best medical treatments when she has a doubt about one adoption she never gives the animals always triying to protect them
She found super amazing families for the dogs I have rescued and I’m always in touch with all
Of them , this rescue and Michelle care the dogs even years after they have been adopted , not other rescues do this I’m sure of that
It’s one of the most serious rescue group amd the most amazing president , Michelle jones
If anybody tell bad things
About them it becouse they don’t know them or bevouse those bad people couldn’t have the animals they wanted becouse they weren’t good enough to adopt a dog
So thank youuu soooo much for giving a new chance to allll those poor souls
Trust them !! They save soo many angels without chances .. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Knowing the dog Bandit who was adopted some time ago, all I can say is Hope4paws uk do amazing work for these dogs.
Bandit was a very poor sole when he arrived.
Scared of everything & everyone but still wanted to be loved & to please.
I have looked after Bandit on occasions for his owners & he is the most loving, quirky little dog .
He has come on leaps & bounds with the help & support from Hope4paws uk.
He can now be taken out for walks & let off his lead, his recall is spot on, he loves every dog he meets & is so sociable with people. It is night & day from when he first arrived.
Hope4paws uk, had everything in place for his arrival, vaccinations, passport, ect. He arrived tired but well cared for. He is a perfect match for the young couple he has been placed with.
I can not fault Hope4paws UK in any way. They have always been professional & always available at the end of the phone for any advice when needed.
It breaks my heart to think what this poor boy has been through, yet he still has so much love to give 💜

Michelle's response is full of inaccuracies,
The point is, they are so nice and supportive when you want to adopt . They drop you like a hot brick when there is a problem. Not only that, they avoid all accountability.
I had to give our adopted dog back meeting strangers at a service station,and we were devastated, michelle then put her in a home that had not completed house checks. I dont want to say any more, apart from...if you are considering adopting from here be mindful that they have never met the dogs and have no idea about the info they have been given. If it goes wrong you are dumped, removed from the group too, meaning no support from your group of adopters.
We adopted phoebe and when we had problems, we had to meet strangers at a service station, with her belongings, we later were informed that this person had not even had a home check completed (travelling from the IOW to Chievely)

Response to reply. Many of the reviewers have full names. Anonymous? Made me glad that I ignored thos organisation. I have been looking into adopting a dog from Romania via this organisation. I have looked at their website and facebook page and especially reviews on here. After speaking to the vet I have used for 18 years I have say sorry, but there are too many alarm bells sounding about this organisation.

We had an absolutely incredible experience adopting our beautiful boy from Hope4Paws! The team were very thorough with their vetting process insuring our home was a suitable and safe environment for the dog to come into.

Once approved we were kept updated on Snoopys adoption process, his vet care, when he was being neutered and when he would be making the trip to the UK. Any questions we had were answered promptly and in detail and the communication between the UK and Spanish teams was brilliant. We were even sent photos and videos of Snoopy in the mean time.

When he was on his way we could track the driver and were kept updated on the dogs wellbeing.

We could not be happier! Snoopy arrived and is everything the team told us he would be, he fits into our family perfectly and the fact that the team want to be kept updated on his progress and are still on hand to answer any questions is so heartwarming.

Please rescue your dog from here, it is definitely a cause worth supporting

Based on my personal experience, I would strongly advise anyone considering adopting or fostering through H4P to do extensive research, ask detailed questions, and request complete veterinary records, behavioural assessments and copies of the dog’s passport before making any commitment.

I was fortunate that I chose to foster before deciding whether to adopt. Had I adopted Leon outright, the outcome could have been very different.

Leon was described as a 4-year-old dog. When he arrived in the UK, his passport showed he was actually 7 years old. He was also far larger than he appeared in the photographs.

After travelling for over 24 hours from Spain, Leon arrived exhausted, emotionally shut down and in poor physical health. Despite this, he was one of the sweetest dogs I have ever met. My concerns were never about his temperament, but about his health, emotional wellbeing and the conditions he had clearly experienced before arriving in the UK.

I agreed to foster Leon for three weeks but extended this to seven. Unfortunately, he became increasingly withdrawn. I raised my concerns with Michelle and Kerry, expecting we would discuss the best way forward. Instead, his adopter was asked to collect him the following day. Although I offered to continue fostering him so proper transport arrangements could be made and he could continue to decompress, my offer was declined.

The adopter and her friend drove four hours to collect Leon in a Mini Cooper. Her friend was recovering from throat cancer. Before Leon left, I informed the adopter that his passport showed he was older than she had been told and shared my concerns about his health.

Six weeks later I was informed Leon had escaped on the day he was collected and remained missing for two days before being found.

What shocked me most was learning that the adopter had allegedly been told Leon was “in danger” in my care and that I had been feeding him raw chicken. These allegations are completely false.

I took a week off work to care for Leon, slept on my sofa so he wouldn’t be alone, hand-fed him cooked chicken because he was reluctant to eat, paid around £70 for his food and bought my own slip lead because none had been provided.

I have photographs, videos, receipts and messages documenting the care Leon received.

I was also disappointed to learn Leon was later removed from his adopter after being found.

I was further upset to see H4P publish what I believe to be an inaccurate version of events on Facebook, using a photograph taken in my own living room while Leon was in my care, captioned “Leon after”.

Everything I have written is based on my firsthand experience or information communicated directly to me, and I have retained documentation supporting my account.

Based on my experience, I believe there is a lack of transparency regarding some dogs’ ages, medical histories, behavioural backgrounds and health conditions. I also believe adopters should be fully informed if a dog has leishmaniasis, as it may require lifelong treatment and may not be covered by insurance as a pre-existing condition.

Update following H4P’s response: H4P have confirmed they do not receive a dog’s passport until it is ready to travel, meaning basic information such as age is not verified before placement. They also incorrectly state they refused my request for a puppy and that I was removed and blocked from their groups. In fact, they told me they had no puppies but offered to arrange transport if I found one in Spain. I left the groups voluntarily and blocked the organisation myself.

I have enormous respect for ethical rescue organisations and the volunteers who dedicate themselves to helping animals. Unfortunately, my experience with H4P was the opposite. Above all, I hope Leon is finally safe and receiving the loving home he always deserved.

I recently adopted our loving dog Sira from hope4paws. Communication from them was amazing from start to finish. Any quesions or doubts we had (day or night) they were by our side supporting us. Even now the support continues. They regularly kept us updated on the whole process, from leaving Spain to arriving at our front door. They are an amazing non-profitable team that give up there own personal time to help abandoned dogs. They all have jobs, family etc. Getting them out of horrendous situations and giving them the love they so desperately need. My respect goes out to every single one of the team. Thankyou everyone for our amazing dog. Sira's filled the void that we had in our hearts after our dog passed away in April. Love every single one of the team. Thankyou again 💕
🥰🥰

Hope4Paws is run entirely by the most dedicated volunteers. They have been with me every step of the way since I adopted my dog Molly. Despite my experience with rescues in the past ,every dog is different & unique. The Volunteers have been a blessing.Especially as without their selfless giving Molly wouldn't be alive today to get the Love & Care she deserves. A huge Thank you from us, to all the Volunteers concerned from the UK & Spain.
I would recommend them 100%

Having read the extremely negative and unfair review left recently I can only say I do not recognise the organisation, or the experience, they describe. I am at a loss as to why they would attack an organisation that puts the welfare of the dogs above everything!? I adopted a Spanish rescue from them and have absolutely nothing but praise for them and the process. And to suggest that supporters like me will rush to defend them at any cost is frankly ridiculous and offensive. Their supporters also care about the welfare of the dogs, have had a professional and caring adoption experience and who would never defend the indefensible. Rather than trying to discredit this admirable organisation you should perhaps question your motives first. Do your research, these are rescues, often with a troubled past, who will require work on the adopters part. Presumably not what you believed you were signing up for. Your review says far more about you then Hope4Paws. I hope you can find the dog you want.

We recently rescued our beautiful 6 month old Mora from Spain with the help of the incredible Hope4Paws team. Our experience was nothing short of wonderful and have been supported through every single step of the way. Every measure was taken to ensure we were a suitable forever home for our girl and we were even able to track her journey from Spain to our home which eased a lot of nerves. We were provided with photos every toilet break to reassure us that she was okay and once she finally arrived, she settled in instantly. A huge thanks to Michelle, Kerry, Patty and the rest of the team and we wouldn’t have the missing piece of the puzzle in our little family without them, our beautiful Mora is thriving 🩷

Well i have adopted 2 dogs from Hope4paws. One i fostered for a little while her name is Poppy, Michelle arranged all that was necessary fòr us to pick up Poppy safely. Then we adopted another dog named Alma we adopted her from Spain, they are both mixed breeds. Michelle and staff are amazing. The adoption process is excellent. The information you receive is amazing and detailed. The staff are their to support you 24/7. Kerry was fab at listening and advising me when I had questions and worries. The actual travelling from Spain was tracked through a WhatsApp group which had been arrange all by Michelle and her team. I was kept informed of all times and when Alma would be delivered. The transport team were fab too. I would definitely recommend Hope4paws to anyone who wants to Adopt a dog. Many thanks Michelle and the hope4paws team.

After losing our beloved whippet recently we decided our next dog would be a rescue. Found H4P and saw Teddy and fell in instant love. After expressing interest the whole process took approx. 3 weeks. There are ID checks, photographs needed, home visit etc but only to ensure you and the dog are right for each other. Michelle, Kerry and Lyndsey ( Teddys foster mum) have been so helpful and keep you informed at every step.
Teddys history ( hes only 2yrs old) is truly horrific but is a beautiful boy with a loving nature and a growing cheekiness! H4P are a wonderful charity doing a difficult job . Many thanks to the team from us & Teddy x

A big thank you to the Hope4Paws team in helping bring Leo into my life.
I found them to be very helpful with any questions I had and introduced me to a group of knowledgeable people who have given sound advice.
I would recommend them.
With patience and training Leo is turning out to be a very good boy and a loyal companion.
Keep up the good work!

Me, my husband and our little pug Bailey were searching to adopt another pug to complete our family. We then found Dora on the website hope4paws. The process of adoption was so quick, the home interview with Kerry super efficient and also very professional. We went on the same day to take Dora. Now our family is completed and my house is overflowing with happiness and so much fun with those 2 little sisters playing the whole time. Adopting a dog is a gesture of love and the love they give back to you there is no words to describe !

After losing my dog 2 years previous I was toying with the idea of getting another; would he be happy if I welcomed another dog into the home and would it feel like betrayal.
After speaking with the wonderful H4P team and learning how they aim to rehome as many dogs as possible into loving environments, I decided to bite the bullet and enquire about a lovely Brittany Spaniel.
And from the moment I enquired to now, I have received nothing but endless support and encouragement from the entire team.
And the dog, Brodie, has been the most welcomed mischievous member of the family.
H4P hold you hand every step of the way, they guide you through the adoption process and are on standby if you need help, guidance or advice; they actually care.
Thank you to the entire team for bringing Brodie to me, I appreciate you all

Remarkable achievement by a small charity of genuine, compassionate individuals operating on a shoestring. I had delivered into my home a lovely young GSD, Reno, who was facing an undeserved death in a kill pound. Michelle and Kerry input personal energy and experience; he is as had been presented, calm, affectionate and friendly (also intelligent and perceptive.) I am lost in admiration for the van driver Eddie who managed a dozen or so dogs from southern Spain - never had a rescue in such good, clean condition. A few of my subsequent queries have been replied. I was cautious as a retiree taking on a large overseas dog but he is the best of companions, always at my side. Thankyou Hope4Paws.

I can't recommend Hope4Paws Rescue highly enough. From the very beginning, their communication was amazing. They kept me fully informed throughout the entire process and provided regular updates on our dog's arrival, which gave me great peace of mind.
The professionalism of the team was outstanding. Every question I had was answered promptly, and it was clear that the welfare of the dogs is their top priority.
Hope4Paws has fantastic aftercare and ongoing support. Even after the adoption was complete, they continued to offer advice, guidance, and reassurance whenever needed.
A genuinely caring, professional, and dedicated rescue organisation. Thank you to everyone at Hope4Paws Rescue for helping make the experience such a positive one.
