Norfolk’s rural landscape and coastline make it well suited to rescue dogs that enjoy space, walks and quieter routines. Dogs rehomed in the county are often matched with adopters who can offer time, stability and companionship. Many Norfolk rescues work with foster homes to better understand how dogs adapt to home life before adoption. Local rehoming supports dogs finding long-term, secure placements.

Aggie is full of energy and is looking for an active household where she will have her exercise and mental stimulation needs met. Aggie would be suited to being the only pet in the household so she can have all the attention she deserves and training she requires to thrive. She can live with sensible children aged 16 and upwards who will suitably interact with her and appreciate the need to give her space when she needs it. Aggie is very eager to explore on her walks, and can pull on the lead. Due to her size, this is manageable but her new family would benefit from working on loose lead walking when she is in her new home. Aggie has the potential to learn very quickly. She is very food orientated and responds wonderfully to positive rewards based training, she therefore would benefit from an owner who can continue with her training with kindness and consistency. Aggie can be cautious around new people and situations. She’ll need slow, patient introductions to unfamiliar faces. However, once she warms up, Aggie has the potential to be a loyal and affectionate companion. Aggie will need her new owner to be around the majority of the day initially, while she gets familiar with her surroundings and routine, but leaving hours can slowly be introduced once she is settled. If you’re looking for a lively, loving dog who will keep you on your toes, Aggie might just be the perfect match for you!

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: £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.

SexMale

BreedPatterdale Terrier

Are you right for Archie?Archie is a 7 year old Patterdale Terrier who would like a home where he can be the only pet. He is not keen on other dogs being in his personal space so needs to be kept on lead and muzzled outside of the home but he has been able to walk at a short distance from dogs at the centre and could have some calm doggy friends to walk with outside of the home once settled. Due to his prey drive, Archie is not suitable to live with cats or small furries. Archie is instantly friendly with new people and has the potential to live with children of Secondary School Age who are calm and sensible pending a meet at the centre. Archie loves to play ball to burn off some energy and due to needing to be on lead outside of the home would benefit from his own secure garden with at least 5ft fencing. Once settled, he could be left for short periods of time.

Are you right for Aven?Aven is an absolute sweetheart who at 10 years old would love to find a family of his own. Aven was found as a stray so his background history is unknown, but since being in foster he has quickly gained confidence. He could live with sensible children who are secondary school aged or older, who can understand he might be a little worried to start with. He doesn't take long to become comfortable with someone new though and once he does, he will nudge you for a fuss! Aven loves spending time in the garden and in typical husky-fashion, loves playing in the snow! Aven has the potential to live with a calm dog but this would be depending on meets at the centre. Aven has learnt that going in the car = fun adventures, so he now happily jumps in to the car and travels nicely. Aven does have ongoing medical needs but this doesn't hold him back in any way. He is on long term pain relief and has just started hydro/physio-therapy which he has been enjoying.

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: £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: £430.

BreedEnglish Springer Spaniel

Are you right for Belle?Belle is a lovely 7 year old Sprocker Spaniel. She is a friendly girl who could join children of older primary school ages, but she would like to be the only pet in the home due to being selective with other dogs and sometimes quite vocal. Belle is an absolute delight in the home, she is fully housetrained, is very easy-going and is fine being left for a couple of hours. Belle would benefit from a garden but this isn't essential if she has regular toilet breaks. Belle recently had surgery on her back leg to repair a cruciate rupture, which she is now fully healed from. She will require ongoing pain relief due to osteoarthritis and would benefit from starting ongoing hydrotherapy. We will discuss this in full with any potential adopters. If medical costs is a barrier to rehoming, we would still love to hear from you.

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: £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.
