Description
Eric fostered Norwich Norfolk
8️⃣ to 🔟 years old
🐈⬛ he gets on well with the resident cat
🐶 Can live with or without other dogs
👨 Adult home needed
Eric is a small to medium sized crossbreed aged around eight to ten years old.
We originally met Eric a couple of years ago in the Botosani public shelter in Romania. After we left he was attacked at the throat by the other dogs in his pen so we asked for a space at Crivatu private shelter to move him to. He has had a lovely time in the safety of that sanctuary for the past couple of years but it’s now his turn to get into a proper home for his twilight years.
Eric can be a quirky little chap until you get to know him but he is a dear little soul with a permanently smiling face that you cannot help but grow to love. Eric is enjoying short walks but will need to lose some weight and build fitness gradually to enjoy a level of walking that should come more easily to him. He gets on well with other dogs and is very good with cats. He needs an adult home environment. It’s taken a while for this little dude to come waddling to the UK and we’re hopeful that he will find his forever person or persons so that he can continue to enjoy the comforts of domestic life.
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.
