Meet our Hopeful Dogs

  • Betty

    Betty

    High on Dajti Mountain outside Tirana, Albania, a frightened golden retriever named Betty was found shaking, wounded, and alone. She had been abandoned and cruelly stabbed, left to suffer without help. A compassionate tourist discovered Betty, rushed her to a local veterinary clinic, and covered her initial medical care, giving her a second chance at life. Now Betty is safe and healing, but her journey is not over. NRGRR has committed to bringing Betty to the United States, where she can fully recover and find the loving home she deserves. We urgently need sponsors to help fund her transport. Your support will turn Betty’s survival into a new beginning filled with comfort, care, and love.

    Betty be arriving in late January.

  • Loli

    Loli

    Loli’s life began with love. Purchased as a puppy, he was raised as a cherished family companion. But when his family became pregnant, fear replaced affection, and Loli was suddenly threatened with abandonment to the streets of Albania. Through no fault of his own, this gentle young golden now faces an uncertain future. Loli is healthy, affectionate, and eager to please. He will thrive in a culture that understands dogs can safely and lovingly grow alongside babies. NRGRR has the opportunity to change Loli’s story, but we need your help. Sponsorships are needed to fund his transport and give Loli the secure, loving home he deserves. Your support can ensure his next chapter is filled with stability, trust, and lifelong companionship.

    Loli will be arriving in late January.

  • Jax

    Jax

    Jax’s world was a narrow, dirty alleyway in Tirana, Albania. While his people lived comfortably in an apartment above the shop they owned, Jax was left outside day and night, exposed to the elements. An air conditioning unit dripped constantly onto him, making him sick and miserable. After concerned neighbors spoke up, Jax was finally surrendered so he could be rescued. Today, Jax is safe and thriving in a shelter, where his joyful spirit shines as he plays happily with other dogs. He is ready for a real home filled with warmth, care, and companionship. NRGRR has committed to helping Jax, but we need sponsorships to fund his journey. Your support will help bring Jax to a life he has always deserved.

    Jax will take his freedom flight late January!

  • Luca

    Luca

    Luca’s life began with promise. Purchased as a puppy in Greece, he was loved and well cared for by his family. But after divorce and major life changes, Luca was pushed onto the streets of Albania, surviving on scraps while his former family continued to feed him. For months, Luca lived loose and vulnerable, at constant risk of being hit by a car, attacked by stray dogs, or poisoned. Thankfully, he made it into rescue just in time, arriving with a painful, bloody ear infection that is now being treated. Luca is safe today and full of affection, eager to give his heart to someone again. NRGRR has committed to Luca’s future, but we need sponsorships to fund his transport. Your support will help bring Luca to a life of safety, stability, and love.

    Luca will be arriving in late January.
