Evie: Adopted 2020
“We adopted Evie in 2020, and she has been my soul dog ever since. She is wonderful with people including little children, other dogs, and cats, and is a complete angel. We’ve taken her on adventures with us and even done dog agility with her.
Ana has always been available for us to message and ask questions. She was incredibly supportive and helped us decide which dog to adopt next based on what Evie would like.
All rescue dogs come with some baggage and we were happy to work on her initial reactivity, pulling on the lead due to being overwhelmed, and take care when she guards food - but all these have been completely manageable.
Our family wouldn’t be complete without our fur baby Evie.
We also fostered Stanley in 2024. He was younger and needed toilet training, but was another completely safe, people-oriented dog, who snuggled me in bed, played fetch, and played beautifully with Evie. Ana’s dogs seem to have such good love and care while they are in Serbia that they arrive ready to love you with all their heart.”

Stanley: Adopted 2024
Roo: Adopted 2023
“We adopted Roo in 2023 and it was the best decision we ever made! She is fantastic with other dogs and loves people more than anything. When she first got to us, she was only 5 months old and terrified of even a car passing us on a walk. With more exposure to different environments, she is now the most confident dog (maybe a bit too confident!), has such a hilarious personality and loves cuddles in bed. Ana and Wendy were fantastic at letting us know the process and how we would get her to the UK, we didn’t have a single worry about the adoption. Ana loves these dogs like they’re her children, I couldn’t think of a better person to adopt from.” - Georgie, adopter 2023
Pablo: Adopted 2021
“One of the things I was most worried about adopting a dog off of Facebook, was that it could be a scam. You have to pay up front for a dog that may not even exist. I’m glad to say I contacted a couple of other past adopters and took the plunge - I now have 3 dogs from Ana (Oreo, Pablo, and Bob) and love them all to bits. They all get on so well I have been truly blessed.
Can I just mention Wendy’s involvement too and how the communication was very good through her. The dogs have a long journey to the Uk so time and lots of patience is a must to anyone wanting to adopt- some of these babies have been through hell and need a lot of understanding. Would adopt from Ana time and time again ( but I’m running out of space and would struggle with 4- god only knows how Ana does it!)” - Becca, adopter 2021, 2023, 2024
Oreo: Adopted 2023
Bob: Adopted 2024
Indi: Adopted 2020
“I became aware of Ana’s rescue in 2019 when my daughter adopted her beautiful GSP from her, and now joined by a Pointer/Weimaraner.
Ana and I became friends and the more I got to know her the more my respect grew, she is the most dedicated, compassionate and selfless person I know and gives her whole being to her rescues.
Because of her ethics and care for all of her dogs I became her UK contact and home checker. I then became adopter of my beautiful,sweet natured little boy Indi 5 years ago, he was joined 18 months ago by my sweet girl Nola. I cannot recommend @ana_the_resque_ enough.” - Wendy Cox, adopter 2020, UK contact and home checker for Ana.
Nola: Adopted 2023
Tilo: Adopted 2023
“I stumbled upon Ana online after my previous dogs had sadly passed away and my house felt empty. After reaching out to a few adoptee who had rescued from Ana, and feeling reassured, I messaged asking about Tilo, as he stole my heart. The whole process was so smooth and although it felt strange paying for a dog you’ve never met, I couldn’t wait to have him home with me. Ana sent lots of pictures and videos of Tilo during the wait for his transportation date and was always updating me with blood tests results etc. Ana stressed how patience with Tilo was going to be key as he was timid and confused. I never expected Tilo’s transition to be easy and Ana never sugar coated anything, she was truthful about everything.
You can really tell that she loves all the dogs she saves and just wants them to go to good, lovely people who will give them the lives they deserve. Adopting Tilo was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made and I’ll never regret it. He has made my house a home again. I will forever be in debt to Ana for rescuing him and trusting me with him.” - Danielle, adopter 2023. See Tilo’s Instagram here.
