BreedCrossbreed

Albie 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. He’d 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 he’s 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. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: Β£530 (You will receive a Β£100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): Β£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.

BreedCrossbreed

Barbie is a small crossbreed aged around two years old.Barbie came into our care from the Botosani public shelter in Romania at the end of 2023 and has grown up with us. Having started life in the shelter environment she was very shy and under socialised on arrival and it took us weeks to earn her trust. She became confident and affectionate with everyone in her foster home, loving cuddles and to play. Due to being wary of strangers and not confident in unfamiliar surroundings, she moved on from her multi dog foster home to get used to life out of the shadows of a large pack.Barbie has been in her foster home for a year, living with 3 other dogs and a cat. She gets on well with other dogs and would need the company of another confident dog in her forever home. She is a strong member of the pack here. Often the instigator of the fun and games but will stop when other dogs tell her. She will initially come into any new home as submissive and shy. Still wary of unknown things and strangers but has more confidence to investigate.Barbie could live with respectful children aged twelve years plus and will need a fairly experienced adopter. Barbie loves running free in a secure dog field with her canine friends but can still be spooked on local road walks. Adopter would need to continue her ongoing lead training and as she’s used to her foster humans being around most of the time, they will need to slowly build up the time she is left. Barbie also prefers her female foster humans but will demand fuss (and toast) off her male foster human.Barbie fostered Cannock Staffordshire.Adoption Donation Fees From 1st Dec 2025 are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430.

Barney is a medium sized crossbreed, born Jan 2025 Barney came into our care a few months ago from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. On arrival he was shut down and terrified of us and we did think we had a long road of rehabilitation ahead of us. However, the lure of the fun of the pack in his foster home was too strong to resist and within days he was running around, playing and getting into mischief like all pups should! It took him a while longer to trust us humans but he is now showing us the same cheeky fun and affection that he shows his canine pals. This little boy is so comical and fun and his facial expressions are highly entertaining. He will need at least one other playful dog in his forever home. He can live with respectful children aged twelve plus and wants to play with the cat. He really is emerging into such a great dog but will probably be nervous of his new family for just a few days after entering his forever home. A little patience will bring intense reward.Barney fostered Norwich Norfolk.Adoption Donation Fees From 1st Dec 2025 are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430.

BreedCrossbreed

Ben is a medium sized (overweight) crossbreed aged around seven to eight years old. Not bothered about the cat. needs resident dog. Adult family Ben was on a kill list at a public shelter in Romania when a lady in the UK offered to take him. Unfortunately Ben was unhandled and the lady was not prepared or experienced enough to cope with his rehabilitation and so we were asked to go and get him and enter upon that journey with him. It’s taken several months but Ben is now ready to move on. He still has the annoying habit of chewing through his lead if not watched carefully hence the metal lead in the pics! Other than that he’s actually emerging into a sweet old boy who has even begun to casually ask for fuss and attention. His love for food helps to win his trust and confidence but at some time soon his diet and exercise regime are going to have to be addressed. This will be secondary to becoming friends tho. Ben mixes well with other dogs and would like at least one other dog in his forever home. He really can’t be bothered with the cat. He will need someone patient to win his trust but after a few weeks he has the potential to be a comical and loving companion. At this point effort will need to be made to retrieve the waistline I’m sure he once had. If you like a dog with a bit of quirk and character and appreciate a little stubbornness chucked into the mix for good measure then Ben is the boy for you. He won’t love you overnight but you’ll enjoy the challenge of getting to that point with him and treasure the bond even more. He will need an adult family with someone with a reasonable level of experience.Ben fostered Mattishall Norfolk.Adoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430.

Benjamin is a medium sized crossbreed aged 9 to ten years old. Benjamin was a long term resident at the Botosani public shelter in Romania until we rescued him from there last year. It has taken a while to peel back the layers of damage done by years in that place and only now can we look for his forever home. Benjamin is a comical old chap with a hint of stubbornness thrown in for comedic effect! He enjoys short walks in decent weather but doesn’t want to go out in the rain Thankyou very much! He mixes well with other dogs in his foster home but gives the younger generation and their shenanigans a wide berth. Benjamin would like a calm dog in his forever home to show him the ropes. He isn’t overly affectionate with humans at the moment but in a more one to one environment may become more appreciative of them. I guess he lived without humans for such a long time he learned to live without us…. but that can change with time, love and understanding. Benjamin would like an adult home environment but visiting children would be fine. He hasn’t met the cat yet but can if needed.Benjamin fostered Norwich Norfolk.Adoption Donation Fees From 1st Dec 2025 are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430.

We had witnessed her being picked on by her kennel mates during a trip and endeavoured to get her out as soon as possible. She arrived a few weeks later, covered in scabs from old bites, but safe and relieved to be out of harms way. Blossy is initially quite an independent little dog whilst she takes in new situations. She’s quite food motivated though so will soon be following you around in expectation. After a while of treating you like a mobile treat dispenser she will only then become your friend. Blossy is living happily with other dogs and will need at least one other dog as a companion and friend. She walks well on a lead but can at times still protest if she wants to go a different way to you or if you stop and chat, patience isn’t her strong point lol she just wants to do things her way. Blossy quirky character makes her a favourite amongst us all and she will make someone a brilliant friend once a little time has been invested in her.

He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus.Cessil fostered Norwich NorfolkAdoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: Β£430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: Β£530 (You will receive a Β£100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): Β£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.
