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"

 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 youd like to get a gift for a dog or pup heres our Amazon Wish List http://amzn.eu/5UVLuyJ
