In Rumania it is mainly foxes that carry rabies

Costs for bringing dog in to the country and re-homing is £480.

Transport is apparently registered with DEFRA......

Taken from the FB info page:
Once again, this is a “Unincorporated Association”
anyone have any idea what that means?

[alfiemum]

ah I’ve found the answer myself and it was obvious really……!

‘Unincorporated associations do not need to register with or be regulated by either Companies House or the Financial Services Authority. They enjoy greater freedom of operation than a company. For example, they don't have to submit annual returns’

How much of that £480 do we think goes to the UK rescue who handles the 'fostering' and home checking of the dog? Why do UK rescues get mixed up with this when they are already overstretched?

I can see it does tug on the heart strings, but they way 'disabled' dogs and now 'disabled' cats are being pushed makes my rather cynical.

I bet you a tin of chappie that the dogs never see a UK rescue and are handed over at motorway service stations

ETS - they may be going to very good homes of course, but it all looks a bit fishy

This is how it's apparently broken down:

• Defra approved transporter used.

• It costs approx £330 to bring the dogs back to UK. £230 of this is travel costs

• Rehoming fee is £150 returnable if the dog is re-homed

Thanks AmyMay.

I saw some weeks ago (when looking for a dog for a friend) that a local rescue was advertising Romanian dogs to be rehomed. I'm glad I'm not the only one who is appalled / confused by this practice, bearing in mind the number of lovely unwanted dogs in this country.

Sorry but I for one will not support this charity again.

I am baffled as to why they would be doing this, and have lost all respect for them.
