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.

Are you right for Bailey?Orca and Bailey are a lovely pair of girls hoping to find a home they can go to together. They lived together in their last home and find themselves with us through no fault of their own. They have been very friendly with everyone they have met and could join a home with children of Secondary School age and older that are confident around bouncy dogs. Orca & Bailey are happy to say hello to dogs on walks but will need to be the only pets in their new home. They would like access to their own secure garden as they are both housetrained and would like somewhere to run around, play and burn off some energy. They are unsure around car travel currently so would like access to walks without the need to travel initially and would benefit on building confidence around the car.Is Bailey right for you?Orca & Bailey are a delightful duo with lots of love to give. Bailey is full of beans and would love to channel some of that energy into learning new things and going on interesting walks. They will make wonderful companions to their new family

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.

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.

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.

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.

The rescue also works with partner charities to help rehome lurchers in need.

The kennels were established to help dogs who struggled in busy shelter settings, particularly those rescued from overseas, as well as to offer a secure backup space for UK dogs returning to the rescue. Designed with welfare in mind, the centre allows potential adopters to meet dogs by appointment and get to know them properly before adoption. Since opening, Our Safe Haven Kennels has seen rapid growth, rehoming more than 200 dogs in 2023 alone, and continues to expand its role as a vital stepping stone between rescue and a permanent, loving home.

PennyPaws Rescue is a small, passionate rescue founded in 2020 by Gill Jennes, dedicated to saving and rehoming vulnerable dogs from Romania to the UK. The charity focuses on rescue, rehabilitation, fostering, and carefully matching each dog to a suitable forever home, while providing veterinary care and behavioural support. For dogs too traumatised, elderly, or unwell to be rehomed, PennyPaws offers lifelong sanctuary through its sponsorship programme. The rescue also operates a Manchester-based Reactivity Rehabilitation Centre, helping dogs with behavioural challenges rebuild trust and prepare for brighter futures.

Safe Rescue for Dogs is a registered charity dedicated to helping dogs from all walks of life, believing every dog deserves compassion, dignity, and a chance at happiness. The rescue supports dogs across the UK and abroad, including those who are older, injured, traumatised, or overlooked, and works tirelessly to find them loving, well-matched homes. With a strong presence in Norfolk and a nationwide reach, Safe Rescue for Dogs focuses on careful matching to create settled, harmonious family lives. Alongside rehoming, the charity aims to campaign on welfare issues and create long-term change, particularly in Romania. At its heart, the mission is simple: to fix what is broken, give a voice to the voiceless, and help dogs who deserve so much more.

More Information

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.
