Description
Desmond fostered Norwich Norfolk
2️⃣ years old
🐈 Wary of the cat
🐶 Needs a resident dog
👶 respectful children 12 plus
Desmond is a medium sized crossbreed who is coming up to two years old.
Desmond was taken into the Botosani public shelter as a pup, nobody remembers who took him there or why. Sadly he didn’t get picked for adoption so he grew up there. The day that the puppies there get transferred from the puppy block to the adult block is a very depressing day indeed, their chances of ever leaving decrease significantly on that short walk across the shelter 😞 .
Desmond was pointed out to us as one of last years pups when we visited in October last year. He joined our “future dogs” list and has recently joined us here in the UK. It’s been a lot for him to get used to when he’s never seen outside of the shelter walls, but he’s learning and he’s opening up to the new adventures.
Desmond is a sweet boy who is initially wary of new people and will need a few weeks to fully connect with his new family. He’s an amiable chap and gets on great with the other dogs. He was initially shocked at the introduction of a new species when he met the safe rescue cat and avoided looking at him unless he was sure that the cat was looking the other way 🤣. He would need at least one other dog to continue to show him the ropes in his forever home. Desmond could live with respectful children aged twelve 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 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 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.
