Luna – 10 month old female Flat-Coated Retriever Cross

Luna is a ten month old female flat-coated retriever cross.

Luna is fostered in Norwich, Norfolk.

Luna has come into our care recently because her previous adopter is moving abroad. She was originally adopted from Romania as a younger pup.

Luna is a bright and intelligent little girl who would really suit a flat-coated retriever cross experienced home. She is a busy little character who will need further training and socialising.

She’s doing very well in her foster home and currently living very happily with other dogs. She could be an only dog in the home but will need a lot of time and company put into her.

Luna needs a family with no children under twelve. She would be perfect for anyone interested in doing agility or who likes a lot of outdoor activity. As with all flat-coated retriever cross, she will need a high level of mental and physical activity.

When you adopt a Safe Rescue dog, you MUST use a slip lead. This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog.

If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period.

Even after your dog is settled, it is safest to use the slip lead in situations where your dog may become scared (e.g. visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, at the vet), and in situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. around bonfire night). Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip-lead as a backup safety measure.

The slip lead is a safety device and must NEVER be used as a training tool. Using the lead to apply pressure to the dog’s neck is damaging. If your dog pulls on the lead, then we can advise you on training methods that avoid harm.

Once your dog is settled, you may want to consider using a harness (together with the slip lead) if your dog is comfortable with being handled when it is fitted. Most harnesses are not escape-proof, but harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit Harnesses) are safer.

Retractable/extendable leads must never be used on our dogs.

Adopted dogs must be collected from the rescue and transported straight home in a crate.

Fences and gates must be 5ft min & secure.

5 Simple Tricks To Develop a Connection with Your Dog

Image
It is not difficult to fail to remember that creatures are living animals with pulsating hearts. Very regularly we as individuals assume that we have syndication on this planet and that we alone can feel feeling. Be that as it may, this isn’t accurate the least bit. A large number of you might have seen the new video via web-based media that was viral as of late in which a dog perceived a man that had saved her and showed her appreciation in a way that moved everyone present to tears. If you have not watched that video, you definitely should watch it immediately! dogs cry ponies can observe looks of people , felines are shrewd, chimpanzees express feelings, and so on You could be pardoned for not knowing this, as may be our greatest imperfection as people is the haughtiness that we in some cases appear to ooze which will unavoidably achieve our defeat one day or the other. So, the reason for this article isn’t to reveal insight into the theory. We will return to the past assertion in ...

Boton – 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross

Image
Boton is a 5 month old male Basset Fauve de Bretagne Cross. He is the result of another irresponsible litter. We rescued the mother with her babies when they were one month old in Northern Spain. After fighting against parvovirus only 2 babies survived and Botón is one of them. Poor Boton has had some bad luck in his short life… We thought we had found a lovely home for him, and then without so much as an explanation, the prospective adopters disappeared. So for this reason, Boton is still looking for his forever home, and we really want to make sure this time around, it’s the right one. His brother was recently adopted to the UK, and is doing very well, settling in like an absolute star and loving the company and attention of his new family. Boton is a well socialised and happy boy, he loves to play with other dogs and is friendly towards people, but he hasn’t been used to life in a home environment, so his future family need to be patient and understanding with him, to help him ...
