Greyson is an eight month old cross-breed pup who will grow to be around medium sized. Greyson fostered Norwich Norfolk.
Greyson was found on the side of a road in Romania with his brother. They were feeding from the corpse of a deceased dog as there was no other food source around. Sadly Greysons brother later died of parvo after they were rescued.
Despite this horrific start in life Greyson has arrived in the UK and is quite a character. Just a cheeky little chap on the look out for his next bout of fun. He mixes well with other dogs and would like another dog in his forever home.
He is a little wary of strangers but once he connects with you he will be your very best friend. Greyson wants to play with the safe rescue cat and can live with respectful children aged ten plus.
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
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 in 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 5foot minimum in height and secure. If you are interested please message or submit an online application form.
