Dante

Norfolk
SexMale
Age6 months
BreedCardigan Welsh Corgi X Cocker Spaniel

Dante is a small to medium sized crossbreed aged around two to three years old. Failed cat testing. Need resident dog. Respectful children 12 plus. He possibly has corgi and spaniel in his mix and has a long body on short legs. Dante came from a pack of dogs on the streets in Romania, in an area where all of the dogs were abused and many had broken limbs when rescued. Thankfully Dante bore no serious physical injuries, but all of the dogs saved are understandably wary of new people. When given time to get to know you Dante is a sweet and cheeky chap with a lot of love to give. Dante is living in a multi dog household and gets on well in a pack. He will need at least one other dog in full time residence in his new home. He is not ok with the safe rescue cat and the feeling is quite mutual. He can live with respectful children aged twelve plus.Dante fostered Norwich Norfolk.Adoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs).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 secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.

BreedGerman Shepherd X Cardigan Welsh Corgi

It’s been a long process for Louis, we don’t know his story prior to being dumped in Romania’s Bals kill shelter with a crippled leg, but it would have been painful and traumatic. The leg was amputated before he travelled to the UK. Louis is a short legged dog, with a beautiful face. There is some GSD but also maybe some corgi mixed in there.Louis has lived in our home for well over 2 years and for most of that time wouldn’t allow any of us to touch him. Lead training him was a very slow process of confidence building which eventually led to Louis allowing us to touch him, which he now rather likes.Rehoming Louis will not be fast, Adopters will need to take the time to get to know him, gain his trust and give him confidence. Louis is well worth a little of your time, if you are the right person for him. He is predominantly an off lead dog, as with most three legged dogs he is more comfortable running a little / resting a little, rather than going at our consistent walking pace. He doesn’t require long walks but does bomb around while he is out.I don’t think he would do well as an only dog, dogs have been his only friends for most of his life, he is also absolutely fine with my cats.If you are patient, kind, have some experience with rescue dogs you could be the right person for our Louis.Adoption donation, Homecheck and RBU apply. You will need to agree to walk your dog in an appropriate slip lead or escape proof harness.Serious inquiries please email libdogrescue@gmail.com
