Ninni is a small to medium sized crossbreed and she is 2 years old. Ninni was found in a forest in Romania by a vet when she was a pup, along with her brother and sister. She took them to her village and hoped that someone would want them, but no one did. She then received an offer of a job in Austria, which she accepted. None of her friends would help her with the puppies, finally she asked our colleagues at dog rescue Norway for a space at their shelter in Crivatu where they stayed for over a year. Ninni is now at last in a UK foster home while she waits to find her perfect forever home. Ninni is a shy and reserved little girl who needs plenty of exercise. She is now starting to push at her fosterers hands to be stroked when the other dogs in her foster home do. She would need a home with another confident and playful dog who can show her the ropes. Since having a new like minded foster sister arrive in her foster home she has started to show her true self. She loves to run, chase, play and jump. With the right training she would be great at agility. She would like a quiet adult home environment with no children as she is still easily startled by sudden noises and movements. She walks nicely on a lead and now enjoys walks in the woods where she loves to sniff and explore. Although still a little hand shy she gets excited when the lead appears and stands to have it put over her head as she knows it means she’s going out to run and explore. She eagerly jumps into the car and travels well. She is quiet and respectful in the house and is now spending most of her time sitting on the sofa rather than hiding behind it!. Although not yet a fan of strangers visiting she is started to approach them to have a sniff once they’ve sat down. She will benefit from having further training and socialising, although when outdoors she isn’t bothered when meeting strange dogs or people as long as strangers respect her space and is now taking treats from regulars in the park. She now does ‘happy dances’ to welcome her fosterers after being left for short periods. She just needs someone with time and patience to gain her trust and to continue her education.
Ninni fostered Kings Lynn 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).
