About
Brighter Days Rescue is a registered charity in England committed to rescuing and rehoming dogs from unfavourable conditions abroad. Our primary focus is on dogs in Romania where many animals are strays and subject to abuse and neglect. These dogs deserve the love, care and respect that they are not getting.
Our team raises funds to cover the costs of bringing dogs to the UK, including assigning a passport, providing a pre-medical check and arranging transportation. Since our inception, we have rescued and rehomed over 100 dogs, thanks to the dedication of our team and the support of our generous donors and volunteers.
We ensure that every dog we rescue is placed with a loving and responsible adopter, following a thorough screening process. We understand our resources and energy are limited, but we are committed to doing our best for the dogs we can provide a better life to.
We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our mission, team and the dogs we have rescued and rehomed. Please consider supporting our cause through donations, volunteering or adoption. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of dogs in need.

Amy Cashmore
Amy Cashmore is a passionate animal lover who has been obsessed with animals of all shapes and sizes since childhood. Despite not being allowed to have a dog of her own, she found ways to interact with them by befriending people with dogs and visiting local petting farms. Her love for animals prompted her to crowdfund over £1000 towards rebuilding a local wildlife rescue after a tragic fire. Although she initially wanted to be a vet, she now volunteers at Brighter Days Rescue, where she finds it incredibly rewarding to see terrified dogs build their confidence and eventually find their forever homes.
