Romania to the UK

Bringing them home.

Specialising in bringing rescue dogs from Romania to the UK. We believe in warm, careful journeys and calm handovers right at your front door.

How We Travel

We believe the journey should be as warm and welcoming as the destination.

Every mile is planned around their comfort, their safety, and your peace of mind.

The Journey Home

Step by Step

Collection

We collect your dog from their Romanian shelter with the utmost care and patience.

Preparation

We thoroughly review all health and travel documents to ensure a smooth border crossing.

Transport

A quiet, supervised journey with regular rest stops for stretching, water, and TLC.

Handover

A calm drop-off at your home in the UK, exactly where their new life begins.

Safety and Compliance First

Careful Preparation

Fully Traceable

Every journey is planned as a commercial import, prioritising safety, full legal compliance, and the dog's welfare above all else.

Thorough Health Checks

We ensure all required testing and health preparations, including Brucella canis screening, are complete before travel.

Everything in Order

We only schedule travel once all paperwork, health checks, and welfare needs are fully met and verified.

A Calm Arrival

Our arrivals are planned as home deliveries direct to your address, never a stressful roadside or car park handover.

We ensure all documents, necessary tests, and welfare checks are completed before travel so your dog has the smoothest possible journey.

Our Custom Vans

Designed for their comfort.

We operate specialised VW Crafters, custom-engineered exclusively for rescue dogs. Every detail is designed to keep them rested, secure, and stress-free across Europe.

Climate Controlled

Independent air conditioning and heating systems dedicated solely to the transport cabin, maintaining perfect temperatures regardless of the weather outside.

Secure Kennels

Spacious, custom-built enclosures that are fully sanitized between trips. Designed for absolute structural safety, proper ventilation, and easy, stress-free access.

Continuous Monitoring

Live cabin cameras feed directly to the driver's cabin, allowing us to check on the dogs' wellbeing day and night without stopping or opening doors unnecessarily.

Smooth & Quiet

Premium acoustic and thermal insulation lines the entire vehicle. This significantly dampens road noise and vibrations, ensuring a restful sleep for the entire journey.

Live Updates

We know waiting for your new dog is exciting but nerve-wracking. That's why we keep you updated from the moment they board until they reach your arms.

Messenger Updates

Direct communication via a group chat with the shelter and our team.

Photos & Videos

Updates during rest stops so you can see they are eating, drinking, and comfortable.

Accurate ETA

Realistic tracking and arrival windows so you can plan the perfect welcome home.

Welcome Home

A calm arrival at your front door.

We believe their arrival should be peaceful. We plan direct home drop-offs so we can take the time to double-check harnesses, calmly sign documents, and ensure your dog steps out feeling secure and ready for their new life.

The best part of the journey.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here to Help
Do you transport family pets?

Our main focus is rescue transport, but we do help family pets if their journey aligns with our routes and welfare standards.

How early should a rescue contact you?

The earlier, the better. Giving us time allows for proper document review, route planning, and careful coordination with the receiving families.

Do you guarantee UK entry?

We meticulously plan around current requirements to ensure the smoothest possible entry, though final clearance is always at the discretion of border staff.

Do you use UK meeting points?

No, our standard service is a direct home delivery. We want your dog to finish their journey exactly where they will be living.

What needs to be ready before travel?

We review the commercial import setup, the dog’s paperwork, health testing, and overall welfare readiness before we confirm a date.

Will I get updates during the journey?

Yes! Our goal is to keep you informed and reassured with regular photos and updates, without overloading the team focusing on the road.
