Honour – 2 year old female Cross-Breed

Honour is a two year old female Cross-Breed who is medium in size and currently fostered in Norwich, Norfolk. She can live with or without other dogs, has not yet been cat tested but could be, and can live with respectful children aged six and over.

We met Honour last month on a trip to the Boto?ani public shelter in Romania. She is a super friendly girl who was desperate for us to notice her.

She is sweet and affectionate and will be a fantastic addition to a very lucky family. Honour gets on well with other dogs but could also live as the only dog in the home. She could live with respectful children aged six plus.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

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 or harness.

It will take at least three to six 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, such as visiting new places, around unfamiliar people, or at the vet, and in situations where unexpected triggers might happen, such as around bonfire night. Nervous dogs may always need to wear a slip lead as a back-up 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 harmful. If your dog pulls on the lead, 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, such as the Ruffwear Webmaster or Perfect Fit harnesses, are safer.

Retractable or 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 a minimum of five feet in height and secure.

If you are interested, please message.

Phoebe 1-2 year old female Shepherd Cross

Image
Phoebe is a 1-2 year old female Shepherd Cross. She sleeps downstairs in a large crate with the door open. Her current owner has been sleeping downstairs with her. She will sometimes wake during the night to make her home aware she needs the toilet. Phoebe wakes up most mornings at 6 am. Phoebe is happy to be groomed/brushed by the female in the home. Phoebe enjoys going out into the garden to sniff around and explore. She goes out on a slip lead with no issues. Phoebe has yet to go for a proper walk due to her building her confidence in the garden first and getting used to the lead. It is encouraged that she should wear a harness but this has yet to be introduced. Positive reward training and allowing Phoebe to explore the harness initially will need to be carried out. She hasn’t been left unattended in the home since arrival so correct training around leaving her for short periods will be vital to prevent anxiety behaviours. Phoebe listens to commands well and will sit for treat...

Meet Connie – From Surviving to Thriving Connie is a 2 year old female Puli Cross. Her story began in a public pound, where she grew up in harsh conditions. A year ago, she was rescued in a heartbreaking state – skin and bone, frightened and frail. With care, love, and patience, Connie has blossomed into a happy, affectionate girl. Today she’s full of life – her waggy tail never stops, she adores treats and cuddles, and she has even learned to smile when she’s with the people she loves. This beautiful girl has learned to trust again! Connie loves the company of other dogs and is especially playful – wrestling and mingling are her favourite games! She would be just as happy snuggling up on the sofa as she is joining in on adventures. Connie is still waiting in a small shelter in Hungary, dreaming of her forever family. She deserves a home where she will be cherished, spoiled, and loved for the sweet, resilient girl she is. For Connie, an experienced rescue dog home would be ideal –...
