Pawprints to Freedom Reviews 133

I’m a failed foster parent proud to admit it! I’m adopting her after a couple of weeks fostering the sweetest little girl ever.
PP2F have been amazing. I was given so much information along the way. I don’t have a huge 6ft fence but they worked around it . She was brought over and as I was away she went to another foster family for 2 days so I could get her. Added me to a WhatsApp group for questions and support and general admiring of my girl.
She has the most beautiful temperament and loved by everyone. Definitely recommend this charity

We rescued a beautiful soft soul from this charity and have had lots of support throughout the adoption process. When we went to visit Patch you could tell straight away how adored he was by the kennel staff and the volunteers and how much effort they put into looking after all the animals there. We have regular check ins and ongoing support which has felt really reassuring as this is our first dog! We wouldn't hesitate recommending PPTF to anyone, thanks so much for all your help.

Went through a thorough home check and they made sure the dog I chose was a perfect fit for me, my family and my resident dog. My rescue has settled in amazingly well all due to PPTF advice and support.

I have just adopted my second dog through Pawprints to Freedom. They are my first choice in rescue after I got my first dog 2 years ago. The process is very thorough and this can take time but please don't be put off. This is to ensure the dogs go to the right home and all the admins are doing their very best. They're a lovely bunch.
My first dog was from the Nantwich kennels and we quickly discovered was fearful reactive to both unknown people and dogs. We've been working on this with a behaviourist and he's doing so well. At home he's the cuddliest most loving little boy and my life has changed for the better since having him in it. He's not an easy to dog to have, we've learnt so much from him but I wouldn't change him for the world. He just needs love and patience.
We've only had our second dog for a couple of days, from the Essex kennels, but she is everything as described and more. Settling in very quickly, a total goofball and complete love bug. She's a perfect fit for us and with a bit of time and love she's going to blossom ❤️
These dogs really are something special and this rescue is amazing for keeping them safe and finding them a loving home to go to. I would highly recommend this charity. Please give these dogs a chance 🫶

Pawprints are a great charity to adopt with. They are extremely thorough throughout the process which is reassuring knowing that they want their dogs to go to the correct homes, they clearly care very much about the dogs they look after. I have nothing but good things to say about them. They are very responsive during the transport process and we are just over the moon with our new addition, Oscar. We would also like to give Anne, our admin, a mention. She has been incredible throughout and has really helped us throughout this journey.

Great charity, with very dedicated volunteers who obviously love the dogs they care for. The trips to Romania are very challenging where they want to rescue every dog which is not always possible. They always do their best for the dogs, they are so dedicated. The vetting process is thorough which is how it should be. Please don't say you want a dog if you are not prepared to put in the time to support your rescue. All the dogs want is to be loved and given a change. We love our rescue Zarby.

Excellent, process I have two dogs from this charity and each time there checks have been conducted professionally, as it had been over two years since my first check had been done I was asked to do it again. Fair enough on the second time around I was asked to provide a video of upstairs, to which I naturally inquired why? They were more then happy to answer the question, and from the answer I was given, I was more then happy to oblige.
If your serious about rescuing a vulnerable animal you will be more then happy to oblige with the information
The volunteers aren't there to judge your life style, how you chose to live, they just want to ensure the animals welfare is being maintained and is going to be safe in the home.
The volunteers think of these animals as there own and want the best possible outcome for the animals, who alot of the animals have already endured cruelty at the hands of humans.
This charity is amazing in what they do I have personal fostered and adopted from them and will continue to do so in the future.
Great job you all do keep it up X X

Very supportive charity who communicate well and support you through the process of fostering and adoption, will defo be fostering again in the future from this charity

Pawprints to Freedom helped me go from looking from afar at a picture on their rescue website of a dog of interest to me , to actually holding this dog for real in my arms. This has been an experience I will always cherish. The process to adopt or foster is clearly laid out step by step so I knew pretty much what to expect when my girl arrived. Allowing her to familiarize herself at her own pace with everything and everybody in her strange new world gradually built up her confidence. In the beginning she was particularly afraid of going outside anywhere far from the house. Home seemed the only safe place to be. Walks were quite short to begin with. Adding a few metres each attempt I am happy to report that with patience, encouragement and lots of reassurance that walkies always ended up back home, she slowly lost her fear and now is the bold intrepid explorer taking me on long walkies !!. She so enjoys going new places that she leaps into the back seat of my car with great anticipation. What a girl. My advice. Take all the time needed to help your dog become the terrific dog she or he was meant to be.

Fostering through PAWPRINTS to Freedom has been a lovely experience, to help a dog be the best dog they can be in a home and the support I’ve received from the fostering/adoptions team and the trainer Pam has been 1st class. I’ve been supported every step of the way along the fostering journey will defo be fostering again in the future

We adopted our dog Cloud from Paw Prints to Freedom and honestly, we couldn’t be more grateful. From start to finish the team were supportive, compassionate, and genuinely dedicated to the animals in their care. Cloud came to us nervous and unsure, but thanks to the care she received before adoption and the guidance we were given, she settled into our family beautifully.

The communication was great throughout the process — always clear, friendly, and full of advice when we needed it. You can tell this charity isn’t about rehoming dogs quickly; it’s about doing it responsibly and with love.

We’re so thankful for everything they’ve done for Cloud and for us. If you’re thinking about adopting, fostering, or supporting this charity — do it. They’re truly wonderful people doing an amazing job 💛🐾

I adopted my first ever rescue with help from PawPrints 2 freedom and the experience was amazing. The volunteers are so kind and knowledgable. I had multiple phone calls and a video call to understand what dog would be right for me to find my perfect match. A wonderful charity who works hard to improve so many dogs lives - thank you!

I adopted the most adorable pup last year. Back up support is excellent.

Amazing rescue! Checks were very thorough to make sure both me and the dog were suitable for each other. On arrival the dog we have fostered is everything they said and more, the friendliest girl. All the information they have given prior to the dogs arrival was all spot on and has massively helped her settle. So pleased and would highly recommend😊

Such a fantastic charity trying to help these dogs in Romania.
I fostered my first dog in 2019 and ended up keeping him now I've just fostered another in Dec 2025.
She is so adorable and loving, yes she had some issues but we are working through them and what a difference in her .
This is a great charity just trying to help save poor innocent animal's that don't deserve the cruelty there put through..

Absolutely fantastic charity!
We have just adopted our own little lady from Pawprints today and the whole process has been thorough, meticulous and positive. The home check was very thorough without feeling too intrusive and the charity worked with us to make some very minor changes to the house for our new arrival. Everyone we have spoken to throughout the process has been really kind and helpful. We are extremely thankful to Pawprints for making all this happen and bringing our little Lio to us. Also a big thank you to the lady who had been fostering her in the UK too.
Keep up the amazing work that you all do. It can’t be easy seeing all those abandoned dogs in Romania, but what you all do really makes a difference.
Thank you so much from us all!

We tried to adopt an 8 month old dog called Bolt who looked absolutely lovely & started the application process. This entailed taking a video of both the inside and outside of our home & having it validated by an independent party. We also endured a telephone interview which lasted for over an hour & were asked many ambivalent questions to which even the interviewer stated there was no right or wrong answer. One of the questions she said that she had to ask was were either my partner or I, both male & in our 60's, pregnant! Having survived this somewhat gruelling "chat" we were eventually contacted by PPTF & said that we could adopt Bolt but only if specific alterations were made to our home of which they would require photographic evidence. One of these was a gate between the living room and conservatory. Why, when there are doors between the two rooms?! They also wanted us to ban any visitors until the dog had settled down & wanted our written agreement to this. Another gate was suggested for the kitchen door "so that the dog's world is small" & again as there is a closing door between the kitchen & the living room, I find this unfathomable. Following this list of demands I'm afraid I lost my patience & told them to withdraw the application & refund my deposit. I was reminded of the saying "if we can make it difficult.........". A complete waste of our time & energy & a negative outcome.

Fantastic charity, they really care for their dogs.

I have just adopted they made the process informative and engaging, keeping me in formed about my progress.

They have lots of support on hand to help which I have used to help me with my nervous but lovely puppy.

I highly recommend them from my experience:)

It has been just over a year since a terrified, shivering, dirty-white little bundle of fur arrived on my doorstep. It was, of course, love at first sight as she lay on the sofa not daring to move so we took each day quietly and slowly! A year on I just have to give an update!
I live on my own…and from day one we have long ‘conversations’!
I swear she understands every word I say -her tail wags in all the right places!- her head goes from side to side as she stares at me, and I’m sure she’d love to say what she’s thinking!! (‘Silly old bat!’ maybe)!!
But what is so amazing is her intelligence and intuition. She knows if we (or I) are going out, a long while before it happens. How do I know? She lies by the front door! If I have a friend about to visit, how does she know to lie on the windowsill to warn me they’ve arrived?
If I’m going out on my own, she gives the ‘hangdog look long before I leave! There are many more examples and I find my saying in amazement ‘You understand every word, don’t you?’
Anyone else living with such a dog?
Because I’ve never had one like this before!
She just amazes me!

Pawprints to Freedom is a remarkable rescue group with a deep commitment to their dogs and the families they unite. From the outset of our adoption adventure, we felt both supported and guided with genuine warmth and professionalism from their team. They ensured the adoption process was seamless, taking the time to understand our family’s unique needs to find the ideal match. What truly impressed us was the continuous support provided even after our dogs arrived home. Yes, the dogs may need time to adjust and might be anxious after traveling for three days, but all of this is discussed beforehand, backed by plenty of support documents from the initial email of your adoption journey. Their passion for both animals and adopting families fosters a delightful sense of community. We are immensely thankful to Pawprints to Freedom for filling our lives with so much happiness and love. We wholeheartedly recommend them and have adopted three times because of their excellence!
