Safe Rescue For Dogs
Albie
NorfolkAlbie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight years old. Previously lived with cats. Can live with or without other dogs. Adult family. Albie came into our care initially in 2021. Heβd been previously abandoned in a field in Romania and was saved by rescuers there. He was adopted quite quickly but has now been returned five years on because heβs not adjusted well to life with a new baby. Albie is ok with other dogs but not hugely interactive with them and would be quite happy as an only dog. He has previously lived with cats. Albie needs an adult family as can be jumpy with sudden movements. He enjoys his walks and absolutely loves to be groomed.Albie fostered Kings Lynn, NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430.

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 dogβs 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.
