Paige fostered Norwich Norfolk
Paige is a small to medium crossbreed. Her passport states her to be fours years old but she’s definitely older than that, probably at least six or seven.
I’ve been putting off writing this album because it’s difficult to explain, but I’ll start with a post I did about her back when we met her in January …
“This one is a long story that maybe you’ll think I’m romanticising, but this is what I believe happened here….
Paige (now named) poked her head out of one of the pens on Monday afternoon when we arrived. On Tuesday I noticed her again and so did SuperWendy. She’s a striking looking dog, an absolute beauty, and yet neither of us recognised her from previous trips. We noticed an orange eartag but part of it had come off so it was only just visible, this means she’s been here at least three years. I saw her again on Wednesday. Yesterday I decided to enter her pen because it just felt like she was trying to get us to notice her, probably she’s always been hidden in the huts on previous trips.
So I enter her pen, she’s wary but not even all that timid really. She lets me get the lead on her and pick her up and sit her on my lap. I get this urge to get rid of that stupid eartag. Suddenly it seems really important to rid her of it. It’s more annoying than usual with the missing piece. Claire goes looking for a cutting implement to cut the orange ball bit off the top that will release it. She can’t find anything. So I decide to take her into the vet clinic because Ina the vet is on site and she is sure to have something that will do the trick. I stand up and carry her out of the pen.
We go into the vet clinic. Whilst a tool is being found my arms start to really ache (I’m a broken wreck really, too old for all this malarkey!), so I hitch her up a bit, change position and support her rear end rather than wherever my hands had been before. It doesn’t feel right at all. I am expecting to feel fur and I have a full hand full of something cold and squidgy. The vet is right in front of me and I ask her to look. This poor dog has the biggest, weirdest tumour I’ve ever seen!
Today she was operated on and the tumour removed. I believe that after years of hiding away she knew she needed help and she had to attract our attention. As I said, you may think I’m romanticising and that’s fine, but I feel that she knew she had to overcome her shyness of us to save her life.”
Fast forward to present day and Paige has been in the UK for several weeks. She’s still
Timid but she’s doing well. The difficulty is the operation site is just very odd. Even our UK vet was puzzled with how to explain it. There’s no pain, no post op issues, but it just looks and feels very strange. She’s fit and well and it’s not visible with where it’s situated but it’s something we need to make prospective adopters aware of. Even if we can’t fully explain what happened down there 😳.
In other, more simple, matters. Paige is a quiet and reserved little girl who will need another dog in her forever home. She is fine with cats. She will need a quiet and calm home environment with someone who has the patience to gain her trust.
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.
