The Shelter Project

Beta’s Land is a sanctuary located in Craiova with a nurturing and safe environment for dogs in Craiova who have been neglected, abandoned, or forgotten. Our shelter is more than just a temporary home; It’s a second chance at life for every dog that comes through our doors.
‍
Our sanctuary is designed with the well-being of our dogs in mind. Thanks to our donations and volunteers, Beta’s Land has become a nurturing and supportive environment where dogs can rest, exercise, heal and thrive!

Before & After

Felicity

Before: Felicity (and Lady Bee) were seen after they were unloaded off one of the trucks intercepted from the meat trade. The truck was smuggling them from Thailand to Vietnam to be slaughtered. Once the truck was intercepted by local police they unloaded the dogs to a large livestock holding area.

After: Both Felicity (and LadyBee) were puppies when K-9 Angels asked their rescuer to move them. They wentto Bangkok to foster and Felicity was then adopted.

After

Lady Bee

Before: Rescued with Felicity from the meat trade. The government wasn’t funding vaccines or medicine and dogs that were ‘rescued’ from Vietnamese butchers would die one by one from distemper, diseases and fights.

After: Adopted with Felicity once it was found out Felicity and Lady Bee were best friends as their adopters decided to adopt both of them. Both girls now have the most amazing life in the UK!

Becci

Before: Becci was rescued from Bresta shelter by one of K-9 Angels trustees. She nearly died from distemper after just a short exposure to the hell hole of the public shelter!

After: Becci is now two and half years old and happily living in North Wales with her friend Lara. She is a happy, loving little girl who adores her owners and is so very grateful for her comfy home.
