LORA'S LUCK WELCOMES YOU

 We save, foster and train black death row dogs 

Important Information

Please also note that you need to read the pined posts on our Facebook page and Please take a look at our FAQ Blogs


The 'fee' is £400  (Romanian) or £450 (Serbia)* . It is not an 'adoption fee’.  It is their 'bus fare’ and legalities we need to ensure are in place while your dog is one the bus.

When you take on a rescue dog,  you do not 'own’ them

you haven’t 'bought’ them like you have a pedigree dog

and they are subject to RBU and the rescue’s contract, terms and conditions by law and mutual consent.


 *This bus fare does not cover any other vital expenses such as:  UK and Romanian/Serbian internal travel costs done by our team (an extra £100 from Serbia but the rescue goes halves on this),  UK and Romanian/Serbian foster costs. 


Brexit has caused this unavoidable price increase but we are still one of the lowest priced rescues out there.

This ‘fee’ therefore ONLY pays:

travel door to door from the Romanian foster or rescue to the door of the UK foster/adopter

Eurotunnel surcharges

VAT (a post Brexit charge)of £20 on the government set 'value’ of a stray dog of £100)

excise duty and customs agent commission (a post Brexit charge) of £70

UK legal costs (£25)


This does not cover any other vital expenses such as:

UK and Romanian internal travel costs done by our team,

UK and Romanian foster costs,

vaccines,

tests,

vet general health checks,

treatments (such as flea worm and tick medicine),

food, treats, blankets and toys

collars, leads, harnesses, bowls and beds,

neuters and aftercare consultations,

or should they fall ill.


 Adopters are welcome to sponsor their dogs at a base cost of £50 per month while still in Romania or Serbia (includes food and board but not vaccines, any titre tests, spays and neuters, or any other vet treatment) a month before they come, but few do, and we’d never make that a condition of adopting**.


So we rely on donations.

These can be on

PayPal,

Switch,

online banking

or Apple Pay,

or one of our Auntie and Uncle packages in our shop,

or buying some of our products,

or buying a raffle ticket,

or entering the Puppy Name Draws,

or bidding on auctions created by our team to raise funds.


**People wishing our use foster service in the UK pre adoption will be subject to the listed charges on our fostering page"

Our History

Our History

Our History

  We started off very small. With only one person rescuing little black dogs and puppies from Romania. But now we have grown into a full-blown rescue with an excellent team and have many wonderful dogs for adoptions and puppies for adoption.  We are nonprofit and all proceeds go to help saving lives. 

Our Mission

Our History

Our Mission

 

At Lora's Luck, we save, train and get dogs who've never known a home ready for their forever homes.

Our main focus are the black dogs, who are so often overlooked at rescues and shelters, and are the first to die in the kill shelters.

*NO KENNELS* 

*NO CAGES* 

*NO CHAINS*

COVID 19 and Brexit

 ***COVID 19 UPDATE: YES WE ARE STILL DOING STRAIGHT ADOPTIONS UNDER FULL PPE VIRUS PROTOCOLS.AND FOSTER VISITS ARE DONE OUTSIDE THE HOME IN PUBLIC PARKS WITH SOCIAL DISTANCING IN PLACE.NO TRIPS BEYOND A 30 MILES ROUND TRIP ARE CURRENTLY PERMITTED BY A FOSTER OR A POTENTIAL ADOPTER***
Prices will have to rise because of Brexit and the necessity for two new blood tests to ensure we comply with all the new laws coming into place.

WHAT WE DO

 Giving Hope and Paying Lora's Luck forward: saving forgotten dogs one heart at a time!
***DUE TO COVID 19 RESTRICTIONS AND AN INFLUX OF NEW PUPS AND DOGS, THIS WEBSITE IS CURRENTLY UNDER RECONSTRUCTION***Here at Lora's Luck, we are driven by a single goal: To save, train and get dogs who've never known a home ready for their forever homes. Our main focus are the black dogs, who are so often overlooked at rescues and shelters.As this is one-to-one fostering both in the UK and in Romania usually with companion/resident dogs, (we can often but not always 'cat test' and.or 'kid test' but it depends on the individual foster's set up) with no cages, chains or kennels, each dog will need:

  • A legal fostering tag
  • collar and slip lead as well as an ordinary lead
  • fee to transfer the chip to an official vet
  • worming and flea treatment
  • vaccines microchip and passport
  • something to sleep on (duvet, blankets, bed)
  • food (and some treats!)

Total cost is usually about £45 to get the dog started (legal essentials only, no luxuries), £40 per vet check up, £35 per vaccine/health test (bloodwork etc) and £25 a month for food after that.


​For those who would like to be a food donor for only £1 A MONTH, you would become the foster's Uncle and Auntie and receive regular updates and photos! For £3 tickets you can also help fund their care and vaccines!​We are working with vets, raw food and pet supplies specialists all over the UK and a brilliant small businesses specialising in dog tags, shampoos, beds, collars, leads and harnesses, medicines and tonics for dogs to get them in tip top health and with legal ID; they discount for us BUT they can’t do it for free...So the rest is up to you!Any donations gratefully received!Then we can plan properly to:

  • get more dogs ready to come to us, and our UK and Romanian foster team
  • get dogs out of the kill shelters and sponsored in the rescues so they can be treated and safe while we find fosterers and forever homes.


​The dogs can't have any toys or blankets with them when they come due to transporting laws. So the dogs arrive with nothing at all apart from their documents.


But why Lora’s Luck? We are called Lora’s Luck as she was the girl who started all this off, and features in our photo and banner! Nine years old and never knew a home, with nobody showing her any interest as their forever dog… till now.​


This site is just for basic promotion. Our FB page is far more active and will provide daily news and updates,  LOTS of DOG PICS, items for sale to fund our aims and projects receipts and expenses,  drives for funds (sorry!) and of course, when the BIG DAY comes and they find their home for life!We rely 100% on donations. We run name draws at £1 a name to start a puppy's care fund, then their care is split into £3 'tickets' so anyone on any income can help out our pups. 


Donations can be for any of the costs rescue and fostering racks up- vet treatments, vaccines, food, toys, treats, blankets, puppy milk and feeders, chips, passports, and of course to help our Romanian associates keep going with foster costs while the dogs are still in Romania as we try and start our in-home service as soon as possible after a pup is rescued. If you want a donation to go to a specific need, just say so in the 'note box' under the donation section on PayPal!​


Our fosters all over the UK decompress, settle and start the training for these dogs- and this costs money. The foster set ups are such that a human is almost always in, raw feeding, round the clock love and care, and daily walks, regular check ups and making sure they feel welcome and happy is the goal while they wait for their forever humans to find them.​We also have a yearly calendar full of success stories, as well as run raffles, online events, auctions, competitions and are developing a whole range of merchandise from tote bags to hand sanitiser bottles and everything in between!​  Donations can be done by PayPal  or If you'd like to get a gift for a dog or pup here's our Amazon Wish List http://amzn.eu/5UVLuyJ

WE NEED YOUR HELP

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

  With this initiative, our goal is to foster dogs in desperate need but in a real home environment- so they have their own collar and lead; blankets (this cuts down on wetting) beds, toys and treats. We never kennel, cage or chain a dog, and we provide FREE round the clock care and training for these little black girls.  Learn more about our work by getting in touch with our team today.  

VETERINARY SERVICES

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

 With our organisation’s mission always in mind, we strive to find donors to help with basic veterinary treatment. The rescues we work with do cover emergency vet care but every little helps! Basic care includes general health checks and grooming (teeth, claws, coat.)Veterinary Services are something that we take very seriously in order to provide the best care for each dog. Contact us to help fund this with us, and learn more about our commitment to this cause. 

ANIMAL SHELTERS

ANIMAL RESCUE AND CARE

LONG TERM PROJECTS

 At Lora's Luck, we work closely with many rescues who are on the front line, pulling dogs on death row, about to be killed! They are NOT FED OR VACCINATED and are left in gasping piles to die if they get sick. ​We help by funding the pull fee and sponsor for the next dog but as we foster 1-2-1, sometimes they have to spend a while in one of our trusted NO KILL shelters where they are fed, vaccinated and spayed. Then once the foster we have has a forever home, we fundraise to get the next one here and in a real home.​Animal shelters have a hard job, but through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can help them make more a difference to these dogs lives.All we need is for you to please lend your support! 

LONG TERM PROJECTS

The last hope for black death row dogs. ​ Paying Lora's luck forward. ​ Saving the forgotten girls

LONG TERM PROJECTS

 With this plan, our goal is to offer transitional care for dogs who've NEVER been indoors and whose initial needs are very different to the typical no kill shelter dog. Many dogs think they're being 'naughty' or get scared they will be hurt if you try and take them in your home immediately.​Our role is to get them used to a REAL home life, so when you adopt, all they need to do is get used to your routines. They will already be:toilet trained, know their names (though puppies react well to a name change by a new owner, older dogs find it harder)know basic commands like sit to be happy, lie down, and not be car sick in vehicles. Dogs from kill shelters can be scared of vehicles at first till they realise they're only going to the park or the odd vet appointment!​and how not to pull on or be scared of a lead.Many will have been trained to recall too when outdoors, depending on how long they are with us before being adopted.​With access/ planned position in the sun trap in our garden, dogs can decompress safely and when they've settled in, sunbathe and play. The area is currently a wilderness and needs levelling and roofing. It will not be enclosed as we are trying to get them used to no longer being kennelled, caged or chained up.​Other long term projects planned for our foster dogs:Short Breaks and Holidays, Meet Ups and Networking. Advice Lines via our FREE live chat. Auctions and Special Events for Funds. Creating good links with other rescues, suppliers and donors. Becoming a lost dog status checker.
