Adopt BILU (aa)

Mixed Breed · Male · Senior · 11 years

Bilu is one of our gentle giants who has been waiting in rescue a long time to be noticed. He was rescued in 2018. He went up to Andreea in the parking lot at her apartment on Dec 6th, 2018. He was very gentle, and he just jumped up to kiss her right away. He had a wound in his head and it is believed his ex owner hit his head with something to try to kill him. Sadly it is a common practice Romania. He had a huge old rope around his neck. He was very gentle but scared ….but immediately trusted Andreea. He has been cared for ever since at the Safe Garden. He has had an operation on his scalp where he was hit. There is no lasting damage. He’s approximately 11 years old and a large dog, especially when he has his winter coat. But he is a gentle giant. He lost his long term girlfriend Lucy in mid 2023 and is now quite sad in the shelter. We really would like to find him a home for his retirement years. His ideal home would be rural or semi rural, access to a decent sized garden and rural walks. He loves people so would appreciate someone who is home a fair bit. He is already used to the lead.

About BILU (aa)

What life with BILU (aa) looks like

BILU (aa) is a large senior mixed breed dog waiting at Stray2Me Rescue in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

🇬🇧Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting BILU (aa), answered.

How do I contact the shelter about BILU (aa)?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Stray2Me Rescue handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw BILU (aa) on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt BILU (aa) if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Stray2Me Rescue will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is BILU (aa) already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if BILU (aa) isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Stray2Me Rescue early rather than rehoming privately; they know BILU (aa) and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect — names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
