Description
Tara fostered North Walsham Norfolk
Tara is a medium sized crossbreed aged around five months old.
5️⃣ months old
🐈 isn’t cat tested
🐶 can live with or without other dogs
👦 children 10 plus
Tara was abandoned in a cardboard box outside the private shelter at Crivatu. I suppose at least we can be grateful they put her somewhere that she would be looked after.
Tara is initially a little timid but quickly comes out of her shell. She's becoming more and more confident in her UK foster home and interacts well with her pack and is very playful and gentle with the little ones. She will need socialisation out and about as shelter life doesn’t expose them to the ways of the outside world. She could be the only dog in the home 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.
