Barley is a 5 month old boy, who will be medium/small, who is looking for his forever home. We found him in a pen in Botoșani public shelter among 10 other puppies. Barley has such an amazing character, loving cuddles, playing and beeing cheeky. He is so cheeky that it was hard to get a picture, as his tail didn’t stop wagging. He does not shy away from love and his need to get about was so obvious we couldn’t leave him. He has settled well in his foster home, gaining so many new experiences in a short space of time. He loves walks, trips to cafés and lots of encouragement. He is a typical puppy who loves to steal slippers, tissues and generally things he shouldn’t! Barley doesn’t settle well in a crate and can howl when left alone. We are working on this and now car journeys are much quieter. He is such a character and given time and patience will be a very loving, loyal dog He will need standard puppy training.

Adoption Policy
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 crate.
Fences and gates must be 5ft min & secure. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered (unless the dog is too young to be neutered).
