Ester, the founder of Europe4strays is the happy adopter of Max ...originally named Tarzan.
- I saw the video of this crazy climbing dog for the first time on May 2015 posted by the local volunteer Doina Stanciulescu and she caught all my attention. This poor boy wanted desperately get out from the shelter in the Romanian city of Focsani even if he was lucky to ended up in the right one! From that point I started to share far and wide to find a loving family for him, as I had already adopted 2 romanian strays and 2 strays cats from my home town...and none of us at home didn't plan to receive a fifth pet. I take seriously my commitment to a pet, so the decision to adopt Max arrived almost six months later. I kept following him on Facebook asking for pictures and nupdates, I sent him parcels with gifts, treats and food and I kept sharing but nobody came to adopt him....today I know why. He was meant to be mine. From the moment I decided to adopt him, I started to be so excited, dreaming to hold him tight and to show him that he will be loved and safe for the rest of his life. Max left Romania by van on October 19th for a long trip across Europe with three of his fur buddies adopted in Germany and Belgium. I live in south-west of France and I went to pick him up in Belgium at Ann's house that took care of Max until the day of his departure to his forever home with me. After 4 months at home Max is learning the basic commands in french, he perfectly get along with his fur-sisters and with the cats. He still needs to learn how to behave outdoor. He definetely is a Star..everybody loves him, whose heart wouldn't melt in front of those big black eyes!

I would recomend to anyone to adopt a romanian stray, these dogs have special souls and literally steal your heart! Most of them had a very bad start in life, maybe caught in a brutal way by a romanian dog catcher or starving in the streets these are traumas that only with the time lots of patience, love and care will hopefully fade away.
Pauline adopted Boz and saved his life
My introduction to Boris (now called Boz) was through Ester and Tina visiting a poor shelter located just outside Constanta, Romania.
He was a poor c creature who huddled into himself. He was very thin and had Sarcoptic Mange. When I saw him, I didn't think he had long for this world.
Ester was hoping to rescue Axel, so we made the decision to rescue them both.
Neither dogs had received even the basic of veterinary treatment. No worming, no
De-fleeing .. . . . . . Nothing. Food was scarce and based on how Boz has behaved since being with me, food was fought for and fear that someone would attack and take your food was ever present.
After 8 weeks of trying to get Boz away from this hoarder who said he was aggressive and couldn't be rehomed, a local vet drove to this 'shelter' and collected this troubled boy. But even then, the person would not release him until I paid. The vet was there waiting so I happily paid and off Boz went to the clinic in Constanta where he remained for three weeks until ready to travel.
Boz has been my biggest challenge as he was frightened of ME and everything !
We are now 7 weeks into our journey and he loves me! This is the best feeling
Boz was found by our team in these awful conditions.
Boz once rescued spent 3weeks in a vetrinary clinic to take care of is mange.
Tina adopted Zoe. This little tiny pup left her rough past behind and she is now enjoying her fabulous destiny in Sweden!
When Luiza posted the first picture of Zoe in the beginning og August 2015, I fell in love with her. I knew I couldn´t adopt her since we already had 3 dogs at home but I kept following her progress. Zoe was rescued by Luiza from the streets of Craiova city well known for the cruelties perpetuated on strays. She has been very lucky as Luiza took her in her house and treated her skin desease called mange. Luiza is such a loving person and a seasoned rescuer she gave me updates on Zoe all the time. Then things changed and I got the opportunity to adopt Zoe. So about five weeks after her rescue I decided it was time to buy Zoe her airline ticket to come to her forever home in Sweden. The adoption process until she landed in Stockholm took about 6 weeks.
Zoe's arrival at Arlanda airport in Stockholm, Tina's first time holding her!
Zoe loves to take long naps in her new cozy home.
Cherry is adopted!
She has been rescued by Maria Aurora Nedelcu on October 2015.
She left Romania for her forover home on August the 8th. She lives in Clacton on Sea. Here she is in her new beautiful house.
