Testimonials
Stories from Forever Homes
Heartfelt snippets from families who’ve welcomed AFOT dogs into their lives.
These testimonials capture the joy, challenges, and rewards of giving a rescue dog a forever home.
"Having never adopted a rescue dog before, I was initially hesitant about bringing one into my home, especially one I hadn’t met. But after discovering Animal Friends of Turkey (AFOT) and seeing the care they put into their adoption process, I decided to take the leap and adopt two dogs – Luna and Lucy. AFOT’s thorough home checks, regular updates from foster carers, and ongoing support gave me the confidence I needed. The process was smooth, and with their help, both dogs have settled in wonderfully. I’m so grateful for AFOT’s lifelong support and for giving me the chance to share my life with these amazing rescues."
"I knew I had a space in my heart and home for a rescue dog when I saw Billy’s face on the AFOT website. After four and a half months, he’s settled in wonderfully and is such a sweetheart! At first, I wondered about adopting a dog we hadn’t met, but we had a similar experience with our other rescue, Leo, and it worked out perfectly. I was able to message Billy’s foster parents for months before he arrived, so I felt connected to him. Since then, I’ve sent updates and photos back. Billy is thoroughly spoilt, and he and Leo enjoy their walks together, even in the rain!"
"We adopted Molly (formerly Sky) from AFOT in December 2019 after having some poor experiences with other rescue charities, where we were offered unsuitable dogs. The process with AFOT was reassuring from the start, with Carol and Yvonne providing clear communication and honest details about Molly’s needs. Despite a few challenges, Molly settled in quickly, and her loving nature made it all worthwhile. The support from AFOT throughout the journey was invaluable, and I’m so glad we trusted them with finding us the perfect match. I highly recommend AFOT to anyone looking to adopt a rescue dog."
"We first saw Tilly on the AFOT website and instantly fell in love with her. After applying to adopt, we had a home visit and were thrilled to be told she could come live with us. When she arrived, she was very timid and unsure of how to play, but now she has her own box of toys and is a completely different dog. Watching her transform has been amazing, and we couldn’t be happier. She’s brought so much joy to our family. AFOT truly do an incredible job helping these animals, and we’re so grateful to have Tilly in our lives."
"I want to thank AFOT for their professional and compassionate approach to adopting Bertie, my Turkish rescue dog. I fell in love with his photo on Facebook and had no idea how to bring him to the UK. After a thorough home check, we were approved, and AFOT kept me updated throughout the process. Four months later, Bertie was transported from Turkey, and I received regular updates. I’m so grateful to AFOT for making this dream come true and for always being there to support me."
"I adopted Gem from AFOT in October 2019 after seeing his post on my Facebook feed. The process was straightforward – I submitted my form, had a chat with Carol, and then a home visit from a friendly AFOT team member. Once approved, I signed the contract and awaited Gem’s arrival. AFOT kept me updated throughout the transport process. I never felt nervous about adopting a dog I hadn’t met, especially as I’d been given so much information about Gem. I felt a real connection to him even before he arrived, and watching him thrive has been the most rewarding experience."
