Sammy turned up at the shelter as a tiny kitten in August of 2017. He was on his own, scared and hungry so we took him in. Sammy is still at the shelter with us today. He is a shy boy and can take a while to warm to people but he absolutely loves the company of the shelter cats.

Sammy is a very small senior mixed breed dog waiting at Rudozem Street Dog Rescue in Bulgaria.
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.
Bulgarian shelters typically include full vet workup, sterilization, and passport. Many coordinate with EU rescue partners for direct transport to adopter cities in Germany, Netherlands, and Austria.
