Meet Roberta
Say hello to Roberta!
Roberta went into foster in Buckinghamshire on the 9th February 2026.
My name is Roberta. I’m nearly 4 years old, and this is my story… 🐾
I don’t remember being born, but I remember being small, cold, and scared. I was with my mum and my sisters in a place where dogs are often left behind and forgotten. It is called a junkyard, but it isn’t really. It’s just a piece of land filled with piles of old things, broken things… and dogs like me.
Two ladies own the land and visit us time to time. They don’t have much at all. No proper food, no medicine, no toys. But they do try their best to keep us safe. Still, it’s no place for a puppy to grow up. There was nothing to learn, nowhere to explore, and no one to show me what it means to be someone’s dog.
I grew up watching the world from behind a fence.
Sometimes, I climbed the piles of junk and jumped over, just to see what was out there. I wanted more. I wanted love. I wanted a life. But the world outside was scary and dangerous, and I was always brought back.
I stayed there. Day after day. Year after year.
Until one day… FAR came.
I saw you, and something inside me said, “This is my chance.” I walked right up to you, put my paws on your shoulders, and asked the only way I knew how…Please take me with you. I’ve had enough of this life.
And you listened.
Now I’m in foster in Buckinghamshire, and everything feels different. I’ve learned that humans can be gentle. That kind voices exist. That soft beds are real. That I am allowed to be loved.
They say I’m beautiful and friendly. They say I’m great with children and even cats. I just want to be close to you. To belong.
I do still like to climb — old habits from my old life — so I’ll need a very secure garden. But what I really want isn’t a garden.
It’s a forever home.
A family who will never leave me behind.A place where I don’t have to climb fences to find love.A place where I am finally home.
I’ve waited almost 4 years.
Please… could you be my forever?
Love,
ROBERTA
