Comment	There was quite a lot of controversy as they were partnered with a different rescue (Small Dog Rescue Sussex) who were associated with a rescuer in Romania who essentially wasn’t looking after the dogs welfare etc. SDRS knew about it and covered it up so ADRS parted ways with them before that became public. I had the same concerns and sadly my pup was transported over with the same rescuer who was found to be neglecting the dogs etc. ADRS is a registered charity, whereas SDRS was a ltd company which tbh should’ve set off alarm bells but at the time. My pup was quite sick when she arrived from the strain of travelling for 4 days but the vet saw her and said it was normal given the circumstances and she was fine after a few days. All her vaccinations etc were absolutely grand and up to date per her passport. She was toilet trained in a few days and has absolutely no behavioural issues, aside from slight separation anxiety. There are pros and cons for sure - I personally chose the rescue as they allowed dogs in flats and the fees were affordable for me - but I completely understand the doubts folk have especially after what happened with SDRS. ADRS have been brilliant to myself and other adoptees so that’s why I’d recommend them personally, it’s all about doing your research though and making sure you’re ready for a dog from Romania. TLDR; there’s pros and cons to Romanian dog rescues but overall the experience of myself and 100s of others has been positive using this rescue, but always do your research and make the time for the dog when it arrives.
