Rudozem Street Dog Rescue is a non-profit foundation that rescues street dogs in Bulgaria and finds them loving homes.
In August 2007, an English family, Diane and Tony Rowles and their 4 children, moved to Rudozem, Bulgaria from the United Kingdom. The family was shocked by the locals abuse towards street dogs in Bulgaria so they started to feed the dogs on the streets out of their own money. With the continuing number of street dogs needing to be fed on the streets, the family registered a foundation, Rudozem Street Dog Rescue known also as RSDR, in March 2009.
Koontz – found freezing and whimpering in the snow, now adopted and living in Germany
Since March 2009, RSDR have taken over a hundred and twenty dogs and puppies off the streets of Rudozem. Ninety two of these dogs have been adopted and are living as family pets in Holland and Germany and even New York!
RSDR UK is a new support branch that has been set up in the United Kingdom with the sole aim to support Rudozem Street Dog Rescue in Bulgaria and will soon become a registered charity in the UK.
Their mission is to raise enough funds to build a dog shelter so they can save many more street dogs, start a neuter/spay programme when the shelter is established and educate the local community animal welfare.
