Description
Vic fostered Norwich Norfolk
7️⃣ months old
🐈⬛ not yet cat tested
🐕 Can be a little jealous at times so perhaps easier as only dog
👨 respectful children 10 plus
Vic is a medium sized crossbreed born in March this year (2026)
Vasi and Vic along with their mother, Via were rescued from the Boldești-Scăieni public shelter in Romania. A woman saved them, but her husband caused a scene when she brought them home, so she took them to a place where they owned a vineyard (which is why I named the mother "Via"). She kept the mother chained up so she wouldn't wander off, and Vasi and Vice would stay quietly by her side. The woman would go to bring them food, but she couldn't always make it there, so most of the time they were left hungry. Luckily they were offered a space at Stella’s shelter and have spent the last few months there.
Vic is a comical and chatty boy who is very loving and affectionate. He is mixing well with the other dogs in his foster home most of the time but can be a little jealous so perhaps would be easier as the only dog in the home. He 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.
