Chip is a mixed breed on the larger side of medium. His passport estimates he is around 10years old. He is fostered in Royston Hertfordshire.
Chip was an orange ear tag dog at the public shelter in Botosani, Romania. The orange tag means he was there a minimum of 4 years but most likely longer. 2 years ago Safe Rescue got him out of the squalor of the public shelter and he stayed in a multi-dog foster home with lots of dogs. In the 2 years Chip lived there he spent almost all of his time hiding. He faded himself into the background and never shone bright enough to draw attention . A few weeks ago Chip moved into a new foster home with just two dogs and a cat, his current foster has this to say about him…
We have never had such an easy foster dog before. He is just so grateful and happy to be here. Every time I walk past him he nudges my hand and wags at me as if to say “thanks for having me”, he play bows at me when I get home from work, and it breaks my heart that he’s been around for a decade and never had a home of his own.
Sadly for Chip he is decidedly average 😂. He’s not broken enough for the pity vote (people love an underdog) and he’s not mindlessly fun loving enough for the people wanting a social pup. Chip is just an all round nice guy who would make an excellent companion. He is gentle and loving with the humans. He’s not a big fan of being touched straight away, you need to buy him dinner first, then he’s all over you. He is friendly with my grumpy dogs and his unwavering politeness has earned him record acceptance into our little pack. He wags politely at the cat and then leaves her alone.
Chip is eager for his walks but can be a little slow at times and gets tired quite quickly. It’s hard to say at this point if it’s because he is unfit from lack of walks or just lazy. Time will tell. He doesn’t pull and happily plods along on a loose lead. He likes meeting dogs on walks and has the sweetest wafting tail that looks like a Mexican wave, he has such impeccable manners that even nervous dogs can’t resist saying hi to him. In a secure field he comes alive and turns into a big puppy running around.
It really is true that nice guys finish last, but we are determined to find this good boy a soft place to land for his retirement years.
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.
