For over 4 years now I have dedicated my time to helping dogs in Romania through the charity Eli for Animals. I am about to embark on my 16th trip to Romania to go see the dogs in our care. Spend time assessing them, taking pictures and videos. It is my second home and yes I do also catch up with friends and have some much needed R&R time too. My trips have all been self funded. In the UK I manage social media to promote the dogs, speak to potential adopters via email, facebook, phone calls, organise homechecks and adoptions. I provide behavioural support for adopters with any problems they may have (for free). I have driven all over the UK on transport runs for dogs and I have fostered 31 dogs in my home. A few coming to me as a last resort as they were due to be PTS or sent back to Romania.

I graduated in 2010 with a Bsc hons degree in Animal Behaviour and Welfare (with the lovely debts that came with it). I am currently studying a diploma in Canine psychology through The International School for Canine Psychology & Behaviour. I have attended many behavioural seminars and workshops over the years and for the last two years I have been working for Southern Pet Services in the New Forest.

I recently had to move from the New Forest to South Norfolk (due to housing issues). I am embarking on setting up my own dog training business which will focus on helping ex street dogs as this is my expertise and passion. So many foreign rescue dogs come to the UK and find it difficult to cope with the change of life. I really look forward to helping them by building up their confidence and feeling happier in their surroundings. I have the skills and am eager to get out there but I can't do this without you guys. I need help financially to kick start my business with the logo, website, business cards, insurance costs etc etc

If you can help at all I would be very grateful. After all the more successful I am the more dogs will benefit here and back in Romania.
