They do deliver your dog
They do deliver your dog, but the condition my dog arrived in was appalling. She was covered in dried faeces and smelled absolutely horrible. It took two baths and an attempted haircut at home just to remove some of the smell. I then had to take her to a professional groomer to have her shaved completely because some of the faeces were matted into her coat close to the skin.
I have had rescue dogs delivered before by other organisations, including Daisy, my previous dog and Bobby and Betty- fosters, and none of them arrived filthy or smelling like this. Daisy in particular had also travelled a long distance as a rescue, yet she arrived clean and without this problem. So I do not accept that this was simply an inevitable part of transporting a rescue dog.
To charge £600 while handing over a dog in this condition is preposterous, particularly given the considerably lower veterinary and associated costs in Romania. (Yeah, I know the costs because my own cousin rescues dogs and she told me the money is peanuts to prepare a dog for adoption but they make profit cause the Westerners are gullible). Whatever that £600 was supposed to cover, I would expect basic hygiene and appropriate care before and during transport to be included.
I am very happy to have my dog and none of this reflects on her. My complaint is entirely about the organisation and the condition in which they handed her over. Based on my experience with other rescue organisations, this fell well below what I would consider an acceptable standard.
Plus I am now inundated with donation requests. Well, I think the donation was included in the £600 charged as prepping the dog is under £100.
