Description
Cindy fostered Norwich Norfolk
3️⃣ to 4️⃣ years old
🐈⬛ not cat tested
🐕 Can live with or without other dogs
👨calm home environment wanted - respectful children 12 plus
Cindy is a small to medium sized crossbreed aged around three to four years
Cindy and her sister were placed in a box and dumped next to a train track when they were a few weeks old. Thankfully they were saved before the inevitable happened and taken to a safe shelter. Unfortunately they were not picked for adoption and so grew up there and only now have we been able to offer her a space in a UK foster home.
Cindy is a friendly and happy girl who will simply need to gain life experience when she finds her forever home. She is kind and friendly with other dogs but could also live as the only dog in the home. She would like a calmish home environment with no children under the age of twelve.
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 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 it situations where unexpected triggers might happen (e.g. 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 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 5foot minimum in height and secure.
