Adoptionstories

“I found out about Remember Me on Facebook, because I wanted to learn more about the situation of dogs in Romania and perhaps adopt one. In January 2021, my partner and I took the plunge; we decided to send in a form to adopt a puppy. We had the phone interview and the home visit.”

“In 2020, two friends and I decided to share a flat. A flatshare means a much bigger place! I brought up the idea of getting a dog. They were all on board, as long as I was the one taking care of it. They were happy with the cuddles, fine with the odd bit of mischief, but they didn't want to clean up after it or get up early for walks: it would be MY dog, and that suited me perfectly!”

“We discovered the association through an acquaintance. We first adopted Maelya (now Opale). She settled in very quickly. In no time, the Romanian cat became a very playful and affectionate little princess.”

“When I caught Tsipia's gaze in a photo, it did not leave me indifferent. This paralysed dog, who had been hit by a car and seemed so sad, looked as if he expected nothing more from life… After weeks of thought and discussions with my husband, I decided to start the process to adopt him… That is how Tsipia became Max: a new name for a new life.”

“I discovered Remember Me on Facebook, while looking for ways to help animals abroad. The adoption process was very quick; the explanations and the steps were very simple. I picked up Mandarine (now called Mimi) at the repatriation point closest to me. Our first meeting was a pure moment of joy.”

“We came across Remember Me on a site that gathers listings from many associations. We fell for Akina, 4 months old, and immediately submitted an adoption request! The fact that Remember Me helps Romanian animals really moved us.”

“I heard about Remember Me through an acquaintance who had adopted a dog there a few years earlier. Since then I have followed them on social media and I never stop admiring the work they do to save all these animals at risk. A month ago, I fell in love with a little cat named Cipi.”

“Sporty by nature and recently settled in France, I told myself it was the right time to find the ideal companion. I was searching on social media, and that is where I came across Remember Me's listings.”

“I came across Kickers' listing even though I knew nothing about the story of Romanian dogs, but his photos, his story and even his name made me fall for him instantly. I did not hesitate long before contacting the person who had him in a foster home a few kilometres from my place. So I went to meet him; my choice was confirmed and after that I thought about him every day.”

“Sawyer came into our lives in October 2021. We had wanted to adopt a dog for a while; we were looking at associations near us, but we struggled to get any reply from them… We thought about giving up, but one day we came across the Remember Me website.”

“My partner and I had been talking about adopting a dog for over a year: with our first flat, our jobs secured, and being two young people who had grown up with dogs in the family, we could not live without a little companion by our side. A few months after moving in, I came across the Remember Me account while browsing Instagram.”

“In August 2020, I came across the photo and description of Excalibur and we fell for this senior (around 10 years old at the time). So we started the steps to adopt him. We were surprised by how fast the process was. We went to pick up Bjorn (the name we chose for him) in Livry-Gargan.”
