Prairie Dog

Leia is a Staffordshire bull terrier aged around four years old. Leia fostered Norwich Norfolk. Leia had a family, and grew up in an apartment, in Deva, Romania. One day, they decided that they didn’t want her anymore and took her to a kill shelter.

She loves people, adores children of all ages and is great with other dogs. She can live with or without other dogs in her forever home. She loves her walks and has the typical sunny personality that most staff’s have. She would fit easily into most home environments as long as there are plenty of cuddles on offer! TERMS AND CONDITIONS When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead.

Pepper is a 7 year old female Mioritic Shepherd Dog Cross-Breed who is very friendly and affectionate with people and always seeks approval from her humans. She is intelligent, listens to clear instructions, and is quick to learn and eager to please. Walks very well on lead and very much enjoys her walks out in the countryside. She travels well in the car. She has lived with different dogs and, after steady introductions, has lived well with smaller female dogs in her foster home. Pepper is reactive to new dogs she meets while out walking, with barking, growling, and some jumping on her front feet until she understands that the dog is not a threat.

Pepper needs an experienced home where there is time and patience to work with her and help her overcome her conce...

Meet the gentle and affectionate youngster, Annabel. Annabel is an 8 month old female Cross-Breed and is a medium sized girl who has settled well into home life. Annabel is a naturally anxious girl, but her Foster Mum describes her as a sweetheart with a lovely nature. Annabel takes her time getting to know new people, and careful introductions need to be made when there are visitors to the home. She is more reserved around males than females, which is a common trait with Romanian rescues and is usually the result of previous trauma. A female primary caregiver would be advisable for Annabel, and any males in the home would need to understand that extra time and patience will be required to build trust and a relationship with her. Annabel currently lives with another dog whose company she enjoys. After slow, sensible introductions, they have built a good relationship and sometimes share a dog bed overnight. Annabel has learned to sit for treats but can at times need reminding to ...

Meet Elsie, a 10 month old female Cross-Breed, the scruffy little sweetheart who believes the world is made entirely of new friends she just hasn’t met yet. Found wandering the streets alone, Elsie wasn’t scared or shut down; instead, she was politely saying hello to everyone, tail wagging, hoping someone might notice her (how could they not?). Elsie is affectionate, gentle, and full of quiet charm. She has that wonderful “old soul” rescue nature—happy to potter about, soak up affection, and be wherever the humans are. She’s social without being demanding, loving without being pushy, and endlessly endearing with her scruffy looks and soft eyes. She settles beautifully into home life and would thrive in a calm, loving household. Elsie gets along well with other dogs, is kind with children, and could live with dog-savvy cats. She’s the sort of dog who makes a house feel like home very quickly. Now safe and cared for in foster, Elsie is ready to leave her street-dog days behind and s...

Hello, friends! My name is Amlet, and I’m a sweet?natured, friendly black Labrador cross, around 7 years young. For the past three years I’ve been living at CyDRA shelter, patiently waiting for a forever home. Could it finally be with you? I might not love labels, but I do embrace one classic Labrador trait with pride: I absolutely love food! After what I’ve been through, I think I’ve earned it. I also love water—paddling in the sea, splashing in puddles, even a good hose?down makes me wiggle with joy. And my favourite game is chasing my ball; I’m a keen fetch partner and will happily play until it’s time for cuddles and a nap. You see, I spent my entire life chained up, barely surviving on scraps of food and little water. Then one day, everything changed. A kind stranger saw me and contacted the vet services, who called in a rescue team. That’s how I finally got a chance at a better life—and moved into the shelter, where I learned what it means to be treated with love and respect...

Welcome the gentle senior gentleman, Ghost. Ghost – 9 year old male Black and Tan Coonhound Cross, is currently in foster care in northern Italy and weighs around 30 kilograms. Ghost’s story began in the countryside of Calabria, southern Italy, where he was found abandoned and left to survive on his own. At his age, he wasn’t anyone’s “shiny new puppy,” and sadly, that may be why he was cast aside. But despite his rough past, Ghost has shown he’s still full of love and loyalty — he just needed someone to believe in him first. He is now in a foster home in northern Italy, and considering all he suffered — abandonment, bullying from people and other dogs — he is unbelievably sweet. Ghost lets you do anything, is calm when walking, very gentle, and truly a handsome boy. He has been spotless in the home since arriving at foster: no accidents, no barking, and he gets along beautifully with the resident dog. Ghost is good with dogs, cats, and humans, making him the complete package. P...

Meet Bella, a 1 year old female Collie Cross who is medium in size and gently learning how wonderful home life can be. Bella has improved greatly in her current home; she enjoys interactions with the foster and will even interact with regular guests. She did start off initially nervous and she still likes the use of a safe space, especially a crate. She will likely have a slow start and will need an adopter willing to give her sufficient time to acclimatise to a new home. Bella does not currently live with children but met children in Romania who she was good with. Due to her anxious behaviours, it is felt that children that are old enough and dog-savvy enough to understand that Bella will need her own time and space would be best. Therefore, children aged 12+ would be recommended, or slightly younger children for the right home. Bella has done better in homes which have had other dogs and ideally another calm dog would benefit her. However, for the right home, a dog-free adopter...

It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your do...
