Pawprints to Freedom Recenzje 

A brilliant experience from start to finish. We have been incredibly impressed with pawprints to freedom and the amazing work they do in helping dogs find their forever homes. We have been supported in adopting a dog from Romania every step of the way and we can’t recommend pawprints to freedom highly enough. The volunteers we have had communicating with us esp Emma are so lovely. Thank you for giving us our amazing new dog which we can’t wait to give so much love to

We adopted our dog a few months ago now and we couldn’t be happier with our girl! We travelled to the kennels in Nantwich to meet some of the dogs available for adoption, where we immediately fell in love with our dog, who we were able to bring home on the same day since we had already passed our home check.

Our admin, Ash, was really easy to speak to; friendly, supportive, and always quick to respond. Even after the adoption, he has continued to check in regularly to see how we’re getting on. It’s clear that the best is wanted for both the dog and adopters.

We honestly have the most amazing dog because of Pawprints which we are so thankful for. She is happy, affectionate, intelligent and so loving. We couldn’t imagine our world without her now and we couldn’t love her more❤️

Bringing van loads of dogs over from a foreign country in the middle of the night. No checks done on either the dog or the applicant. What kind of charity would let an elderly woman have another large dog when she's already got one???? Turns out this 2nd dog is aggressive, reactive, has bitten 2 people, attacked other dogs, pulled the lady over numerous times. She's had a visit from the police over one incident to which she told you about. This dog is dangerous and will hurt someone. The lady just makes excuses for the dog and this so called charity has done absolutely nothing. Disgusting.

Tegan and the team are truly outstanding. Their genuine care and dedication to the dogs in their care shines through in everything they do. Throughout the adoption process, Tegan’s kindness and thoughtfulness were remarkable, she consistently went above and beyond, not just for us, but for every dog and family involved. This is an honest, deeply compassionate charity that wholeheartedly prioritizes the wellbeing of their animals.

Pawprints to Freedom is an incredible rescue organization that truly cares about every dog and family they connect.
From the very first step of our adoption journey, the team made us feel supported and guided with warmth and professionalism. The process was smooth, and they took the time to understand our family’s needs, ensuring the perfect match. What stands out most is the ongoing support we received, even after bringing our new dogs home. Yes the dogs need time to decompress and settled. Yes they can be highly nervous after spending 3 days travelling. But all this is discussed before you take on a dog with numerous support documents provided from the initial email starting off your adoption.
Their dedication to both the animals and the adoptive families creates a wonderful sense of community. We’re so grateful to Pawprints to Freedom for bringing such joy and love into our lives, and we can't recommend them highly enough! So much so we have done it 3 times now!

We have had our pup for a couple of months now and she has settled in so well. Our admin Ash has been amazing. He has been so supportive throughout the process and shown a genuine interest in our pup’s progress, regularly checking in with us since her arrival.

When our pup arrived she’d had some complications with her spay and needed urgent medical care. It was late at night and Ash and the charity were amazing, answering our calls and organising an urgent vet visit for us and helping us get her the medicine and care that she needed.

The charity and their volunteers truly care for these animals and finding them their forever homes. We are so grateful to Pawprints to Freedom for helping us find our new family member and would recommended them to anyone looking to rescue.

Adopting from Pawprints to Freedom has been the most seamless process we’ve been through. From putting in an application to collection day, the staff at PPTF were extremely helpful and insightful.

A massive thank you to our admin, Ash, we couldn’t have got through it without your support, advice, compassion and dedication.

We are forever grateful to all the staff at Pawprints to Freedom for all their hardwork and dedication, and for believing in the dogs, giving them a chance at a new start. You’ve made our little family complete and we can’t thank you enough for all the support and quick responses❤️

We recently adopted our lovely Wilf through PPTF… despite the fact lots of rescues would not adopt to us as we live in a boat without a secure garden .. PP2F worked with us n with us to find the perfect dog for us … Albi (our resident dog) n wilf are inceprital n adore each other .. ty pp2f

This is my second time adopting through Pawprints2freedom, and once again, the experience was absolutely fantastic from start to finish.
My most recent adoption was Shep, who came directly from Romania. My first dog came from their kennels in Cheshire, and both experiences have been nothing short of exceptional.
My admin, Ash, was incredibly efficient, making the whole process quick, smooth, and informative. I always felt supported and well-guided. The home check with Judith was not only thorough but also warm and friendly, which made the whole experience even more reassuring.
The transport team bringing Shep over were incredible, keeping me updated throughout the night and clearly prioritising the dogs’ welfare every step of the way. It was so comforting to know he was in such safe and caring hands.
What really sets Pawprints2freedom apart is their genuine passion for dog welfare. They also offer brilliant aftercare support, including access to a professional behaviourist team should you ever need help settling your new companion in.
Truly a five-star service in every sense, compassionate, well-organised, and deeply committed to the dogs' wellbeing. I can’t recommend them highly enough!

We adopted our beautiful Flora (was Primrose) in March this year.
Extremely positive adoption process and we were totally supported by Ash, our rescue admin. The charity offer support and advice and continue to follow up with messages and checking up that all is well months after adoption.
Clear guidelines for a smooth transitional period for the dog given and all very wise (must add that Flora decided she didn't want a decompression period but wanted to be with our older laid-back rescue dog, Bella ) from the onset. They are the best of pals now.
I am sure we will adopt again in the future and will definitely go with this wonderful charity.

We adopted our dog Winnie through PP2F back in March, and I want to focus this review on the adoption experience rather than Winnie herself as every dog is different so reviewing her won’t tell you much. (She is great though!).
From the very start, the process was excellent. Ash, our main point of contact, was incredibly helpful, clear, and communicative throughout. He took the time to understand our needs and helped ensure we were matched with a dog who would be a good fit for us and our lifestyle. The adoption process is very detailed because PP2F is committed to making sure each dog ends up in the right home, and it really shows.
Despite being a volunteer run organisation, the team was impressively quick, efficient, and dedicated. We were given plenty of documentation to help us prepare, and Ash was always happy to answer our (many) questions with patience and kindness.
Toni, who carried out our home check, was an absolute pleasure. She was warm, approachable, and full of helpful advice.

The handover was arranged with our comfort in mind, giving us a long walk with Winnie and Ash and his partner there the whole time. It gave us the time and space to get to know Winnie before bringing her home. Even after the adoption, the team stayed in touch to offer support and check in on how things were going, which has been so appreciated.
Overall, I can’t recommend PP2F highly enough. The care, thoughtfulness, and dedication they put into matching dogs with the right families is truly impressive. I’ve would absolutely recommend them to friends and anyone looking to adopt in the future.

The dedication of the volunteers assigned to our case impressed us. We felt that the charity was very professionally run and should we be unlucky enough for the adoption to fail that they would help us out asap.

First time fosterer for PPTF. I had an excellent experience, being kept informed every step of the way. It takes a lot of organising and many volunteers give their time to save many dogs' lives. It's early days and my foster is decompressing after the long trip. She will hopefully find a loving home after the trauma's experienced in the awful Romanian shelters where she otherwise faced certain death.

Neutral review. We have had our dog a month and a half now and I feel able to write a review. The process: a form to complete, communication good with our admin (thank you), payment wanted before viewing the contract which I found odd but I went ahead (knowing if I didn't like the contract, I would receive a refund). Our home checker was lovely. Our reserved dog met our needs and we his and we brought him home. We weren't able to visit him at the Essex kennels, PPTF did not allow adopters on site we were told. A local dog park was suggested but because of the travel time a KFC car park was suggested as it had a greenery space and closer. We agreed to this. Handover took place timely and within 5mins we had our dog in our car and on our way home. The process from reservation to bringing him home was a little over a week if I remember correctly. A 7 month old puppy. On arrival, he stunk (as we were pre warned). He did have fecal matter stuck to his rear end and was dirty, he is placid enough to allow us to wash him this same day (please note, this isn't shared as a deterrent). We found him to have patches of thinning fur and bare spots on his elbows once we washed the dirt from him. He is a cream coloured dog and the bath water was a chocolate brown- this is not a deterrent. Some people return their dogs it seems because of the smell, please see this as an informative review to be considered. Not all dogs will be able to be bathed as soon as ours was. We were informed which food he was eating at the Essex kennels and that he was doing fine on it, of course bought this- a new home is enough change without the food. Unfortunately, the kibble did not agree with him as we were told and soon after we realised he wasn't coping with the food. He is intolerant to grains and have switched to a grain free diet and all is well (same protein in both kibbles). We also found after a couple of weeks he has environmental allergies. Our vet informed us the symptoms he has is more common amongst puppies and reoccurs amongst the puppies affected; once the puppy becomes an adult, most of the puppies grow out of the allergy response but some adult dogs do remain allergic. Reoccuring prescription for this. I have asked our admin if our dog had signs of allergies whilst at the Essex kennels and I await a response (almost 2 weeks since asking). Being in a kennel environment, perhaps this was missed. We were not informed of food or environmental allergies and told he is a healthy dog. I did notice an Amazon essential list was advertised for the Essex kennels where pumpkin powder, kaolin paste was included. I did share with our admin the essential list and what we found with our dog as an informative message. We live on the border of a wood and this environmental allergy response has been put down to tree pollen but I remain unconvinced. Our vet appears to think this response is not his first. We can carry out an allergy test if we wish. I wrote on the application form we have two cats and thus expect to be matched with a dog who is suitable. Our cats are middle aged at 6 and 5yrs. We were told our dog is suitable to live with cats. Unfortunately, he does chase them. Our black cat remains upstairs after being chased. Our black and white cat does on occasion venture downstairs, sometimes our dog chases, sometimes not. When out on walks, he tries to chase squirrels, birds and cats. We are working on managing his prey drive, especially around the need to chase cats and we hope this can be managed for harmony in our home. Looking back, I should have asked questions about their cat test and not taken it at face value. We met some ponies on one of our walks. He was very interested in ponies, I think he wanted to play. He is a calm dog but for welfare reasons, he cannot play with ponies. Our dog is in the midst of adolescence, the pony encounter could have been attributed to this life stage. The prey drive has been ongoing since we got him, he has always had a desire to chase. We hope to manage this as time goes on. Our admin is aware.
One of our children has an allergy to dander which we now realise. Our child has been around other dogs, family members dogs and never reacted. We are putting it down to our dogs double coat (we were not aware of this beforehand). Air purifiers installed. Medication prescribed. All in all, our dog is our dog and we love him. The adolescent phase is what it is and I am positive with reinforcement training, he will reach his adult stage a well rounded dog. Should you be applying for a puppy who is reaching or in the adolescent stage, be mindful of the behaviour changes. They are teenagers after all. Thank you PPTF for our dog. We continue to work with him, for his health and behaviour management. He has settled in well and enjoying walks with his dog friend and playing with our friends puppies. His confidence is growing around water play.

The support from Pawprints2freedom has been excellent from day one. Communication was great and we absolutely adore our girl. When at first we couldn’t understand why she was crying at her toys, they were there to advise and reassure. The fact that she was crying just because she was so happy and overwhelmed to finally have toys in her life, shows how special it is to adopt a dog, especially ones as these. Please use this charity for adoption-they will be with you every step of the way.

This so the most supportive charity I have ever come across. From the first phone call, throughout the process and following adoption. Nothing is too much trouble - the support is second to none x

We took a gamble on adopting a Romanian rescue dog for the first time. We read all the information provided to us from PPTF before making any decisions. There was a lot of material to read and digest but we actually found it incredibly useful as it gave us greater understanding on the big differences between a Romanian rescue compared to a Rescue dog from the UK. We chose our dog & were very pleasantly surprised at how informed we were throughout the whole Happy Bus journey - including provision of photos and videos as well as a specific chat for all adopters of dogs on that same bus. Everything from start of the the process (information, selection of dog) to the end (delivery of our dog to our front door) went smoothly with no issues. Our sweet boy is absolutely adorable gorgeous and funny!!! He was toilet trained within 2 to 3 weeks and we love him so so much!! We are incredibly grateful we chose to adopt from PPTF & have actually been looking with PPTF again to potentially add to our collection! The volunteers were all patient, informative, understanding and helpful throughout every step of the adoption process. We would recommend whole heartedly, adopting from PPTF.

We are absolutely thrilled with our experience with PawPrints To Freedom Dog Rescue! This amazing charity is run entirely by dedicated volunteers who juggle their own families and full-time jobs, yet still put their hearts into finding loving homes for as many dogs as possible. The care and effort they put into their detailed descriptions of each dog really helped us find the perfect match. We are so excited to be adopting our beautiful new furry family member who came over from Romania not long ago! Our incredible volunteer admin we’ve been in touch with has been absolutely amazing every step of the way. We can’t recommend Pawprints To Freedom Dog Rescue highly enough! They are truly saving so many little lives xx

I applied to foster an oldie. The process from start to finish was easy and thorough. I had a call with an admin, who saw me through the process and aftercare is ongoing. I went through the initial contact, to home check meeting and then arranged to visit the Kennels at Nantwich to meet a few dogs before taking one home. I was given reading material and videos to watch to assist with ensuring my experience with the dog would be positive ones. I followed the guidance with reference to leads, walking, meeting new people and dogs which helped immensely. I was given all of the dogs information before going to the kennels so I could make an informed decision on my chosen dog. Once I chose the dog that I would like to foster I then went through match review and picked up the dog the next day to return home. Admin checked in with me the day after, week after and so on. I have now adopted the dog. Hes great, has a few quirks, like stealing slippers, chasing cats, pulls on the way home if something scares him on our walks. But, its all normal stuff that I would expect with a dog that hasn't lived in a home permanently since he was born. I didn't feel pressured into choosing a dog. Its been a pleasure to foster and then adopt. If he develops any problems going forward I know I can return to the rescue for guidance and help. Hes now been with us 5 weeks and we take things at his pace, when hes ready to do it.

i have had nothing but good experiences with pptf. They do get busy and sometimes replies can be slow however these are volunteers and they are extremely helpful.
the adoption and foster process is indepth which again is a good thing as this proves that they wont just rehome to anyone.
in all one of the better rescues i have dealt with over the years,
well done to all the staff for doing such a difficult job.
