Ginny is a smallish crossbreed aged around three years old. We met Ginny in the Botosani public shelter in Romania during our trip there in October. She was abandoned there as a nursing mum with pups. Whilst she was feeding the pups she was relatively safe in the squalid conditions there. Once the pups were old enough to be taken from her to the puppy block she then had to be mixed with other adults and had a really traumatic time. When we arrived she had just been attacked for the second time and had to be taken for veterinary treatment. We found her a pen with very placid dogs and she was much happier, but when we left we were worried that when those dogs left for adoption she would again be in danger. Thankfully her day to leave on transport came around without further incident and she’s now happily in the UK. Ginny is initially shy with new people but when she gets used to them she is a happy waggy tailed girl who enjoys human company. She is now enjoying her walks and walks beautifully on a lead. She gets on well with other dogs and would need another placid dog in her forever home. She seems to be fine with the cat. Ginny could live with children aged ten plus. This dog has passed their cat testing. So could live with a dog savvy cat.
Ginny fostered Norwich Norfolk.

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).
