George fostered Hingham Norfolk 5️⃣ years old 🐈‍⬛ Not cat friendly 🐕 He would like to be the only pet in the household 👨 respectful children aged ten plus George is a chunky Labrador cross aged around five years old. George was found abandoned in a village in Romania a few months ago. He had mange and was starving. Villagers fed him and then he was rescued and taken to Roxanas shelter to be treated for mange and fattened up. He’s now a very sturdy (some might dare to say overweight 🤦‍♀️) boy and is in the UK looking for his forever home. George is very friendly with people but is strong and will need a strong and confident adopter as he does try to pull towards other dogs when out on walks. He would like to be the only pet in the household and could live with respectful children aged ten 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 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. If you are interested please message or complete the online application form.
