Reviews from Adopters & Fosterers
We pride ourselves in the amount support we give any adopter, to always ensure we answer any questions they may have about the dogs, or give help and advice generally on the adoption process.
When any dog moves to their new home, we like to stay in touch, and receive regular updates and receive lots or pictures and videos of our dogs enjoying all their new and exciting adventures life has to offer.
Here are our latest reviews.
Dog: Betty
I became a foster for Elcee’s because I had such a wonderful relationship with one of the founders, who had been my foster support for another rescue. When she left to start her own rescue, I decided I would become a foster for Elcees, a decision that has been an incredibly rewarding experience.
Elcee’s are so wonderfully supportive. They are always on hand to give advice and up to date information, are open and honest regarding all aspects of the fostering process, including finances, and are on my foster journey with me 100%.
As a fosterer this is invaluable. Fostering isn’t always easy, but with Elcee’s it’s so incredibly rewarding and joining them has truly been the best decision we’ve ever made. We are passionate about saving these poor beautiful souls and with Elcee’s we get to be part of their incredible journey to a wonderful life.
We have gone on to adopt a little dog from Elcee’s and again the process was straightforward with no issues whatsoever. We still foster for this wonderful Rescue as it’s amazing to be part of the Elcee’s family.

Our old jack Russell had to be euthanised a few months ago, and our other JR seemed lost without her, so we started looking for a small dog who needed a home.
We saw a photo of a scruffy dog whose circumstances seemed dire. She wasn’t small but pulled at our heartstrings. We applied to Elcee’s and we had a very pleasant call during which we explained that we lived in the country with extensive grounds and not a fenced area, just hedging around our fields. After a thorough check we were finally accepted. Elcee’s Rescue were keen to find the right home and very careful to make sure that we would cope with her and keep her safe – anxious times for us.
Happily we now have that scruffy and sad, large dog and she is safe and much loved. We were impressed with the thoroughness of Elcee’s in checking us and they kept us informed all of the way. This large dog is part of our family now.
Thank you Elcee’s Dog Rescue.

I adopted my little girl Elcee (now Elsa!) from Elcee’s Rescue in November 2024.
The process was very smooth and also extremely thorough. Lynne and Jayne were excellent and talked me through every aspect of adoption.
All of Elsa’s medical tests and vaccinations were completed before she arrived (my vet was very impressed!) and I felt really prepared to receive her.
Top marks to Elcee’s! This is a picture of my tiny socks puppet!

We were looking for a rescue dog for a while and came across Elcee’s Rescue on line. I filled in an application form and we were matched with Ava after a thorough phone conversation asking about our lifestyle and home circumstances.
We met Ava for the first time at her foster home where we took her for a walk and learned more about her. Ava was brought to our home twice so she could get to know us a bit more before we finally adopted her. We have had advice and support from Elcee’s before,during and after the adoption process. Ava is now a much loved addition to our family.
We felt throughout the adoption process that Elcee’s have the dogs very best interests at heart and take time to make sure the dogs are matched to suitable families.

Dog: Toby
I contacted Lynne at Elcee’s rescue on 24th October to help with a foster home for a little one, as I wasn’t quite sure I was ready to be a full time dog mum just yet.
Lynne was efficient, honest and amazing throughout the whole process and before I knew it I was awaiting the arrival of a little guest!
The support I received was overwhelming and I didn’t just feel like a fosterer I felt I was part of the Elcee’s family, receiving advice, guidance and sharing lots of updates throughout.
My guest turned into a welcome addition to my life, as I just couldn’t let him go.
The whole process of fostering and adoption was explained in detail and Lynne was always there for us, and still is to this day!
If anyone is thinking of fostering or adopting but isn’t quite sure please contact Elcee’s. Lynne has a wealth of experience and what she has done and continues to do is beyond amazing
Thank you Lynne, thank you Elcee’s. You have really changed both mine and Toby’s lives for the better.

We had a fantastic experience discovering Arthur.
Seeing the pictures of him in the kill shelter was harrowing, but Elcee’s did everything they could to get him to a safer place in Romania.
Right from the initial enquiry, their knowledge and communication have been second to none. The transport company that bought him over were incredibly professional and the information and support we’ve received from Jayne, Lynne and Carol has been amazing and continues long after you’ve fostered and adopted a dog.
With all the help we’ve received, Arthur has settled in far quicker than we expected and is a proper part of the family!

Dog: Clover
I had a great experience adopting Clover from Elcee’s Dog Rescue.
From my very first enquiry about her, I was guided seamlessly through the process by Lynne, who is lovely to deal with and very, very experienced.
I was given lots of information about Clover’s traumatic past and encouraged to chat and ask questions at all stages of the adoption. Visiting Clover in her fosterer’s home and seeing her behaviour for myself was invaluable. It was great that I was able to take my own dogs too.
The home check was thorough and reassuring with good advice given.
Clover has settled so well with us now, and we’re delighted that Elcee’s trusted us with this priceless soul.
I’d recommend Elcee’s Dog Rescue to anyone looking for a dog to rescue, and wish this hard working, compassionate, and professional team continued success saving dogs in need of love.

Adopting beautiful Bella from Elcee’s is the best thing I’ve done for a long time.
The adoption was easy and problem free, she is fully vaccinated, and worth every penny. She loves her walks, and I am now finally able to let her off lead, 
her call back is getting there!
She is friendly with everyone and a pleasure to have in our lives.
Thank you

Dog: Lucky
From the day I saw the picture of Lucky, on November 16th 2024, I was in love!
I was put in touch with Elcee’s Rescue, and they contacted me with all the information regarding Lucky, and how the adoption process would proceed.
It was all very straightforward, and by the 9th of December he was here with me!
Now, three months later, he has transformed into a confident cheeky, bossy little man!
Thank you everyone at Elcee’s Rescue.
