It's a Big Day. Sita the Wonder-dog is on her way. She's the one with the 4 white paws, saying pick me, pick me.
We picked her. She's had a long journey in a Defra- approved 'animal transport' van. It is so hard to think of her on the long, stressful journey, but we hope it'll be a few days of discomfort in exchange for a new home and family that she will love. It's written in the stones.
People ask me, how on earth did you come to rescue a puppy all the way from Romania? (IKR? as the kids type). I know it sounds crazy. I had looked locally - but everything had stopped during lockdown. As for buying a puppy, they were 1 to 3K on Gumtree, and reserved before you could enquire.
When we finally saw the photos from Sava's Safe Haven, we adored Sita. The charity regularly rehouse to the UK, so we filled in an application form, without too much expectation.
A few weeks later, Rachel, the UK volunteer, phoned me and checked our house and garden by video call. We got a new wooden gate and filled in the fox holes. We bought a pile of doggy things from Pets at Home.
We are completely new to this. Sita is much awaited. It won't be too long now. You will hear more soon. Of course, you will.

Welcome to Glasgow, Sita! You are a lucky pup, I think you will be very happy here!
Well done for choosing a Rescue dog and also one from Romania. Looking at the other poor dogs in the photo would break your heart. They all look so sad and you wonder what kind of bad life they had before they were rescued. I hope Sita brings you many years of happiness in her
new forever home. She is one of the lucky ones♥️
