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!

Albie

Norfolk
SexMale
Age6 months
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.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.

Alfie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around three years old. Not yet cat tested. Prefer to be an only dog. Respectful children 10 plus. Alfie had recently been taken into the Botoşani public shelter in Romania when we visited in March. He was absolutely terrified and completely shut down at the environment he’d been plunged into. During the days that we were there the team worked with him and by the time we left they were being greeted with happy dances and a wagging tail. He was booked to come on the first possible transport and is now here in the UK looking for his forever home. Alfie is a playful and friendly boy who forms strong bonds with his human. He would be best to be the only dog in the home as he can be competitive over toys and food but an experienced adopter could manage him with another dog. Alfie could live with respectful children aged ten plus.Adoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430.

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.Is Archie right for you?Archie is an active little chap despite his age who likes to explore, sniff and be out and about but he also has a relaxed side that loves to relax, chill and have a cuddle. He enjoys using his brain and having his food in enrichment to keep his brain busy. He is a clever boy who already knows "Sit" "down" "paw" "drop" "on your bed" and is starting to learn "all finished" to signal when toy play is finished (as he adores playing with his ball!) He has so much potential for the right home and is bound to make you smile.

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.
