Fry is a small crossbreed aged around five years old.
Fry fostered Norwich Norfolk.
Fry initially came into our care several months ago from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. He was a submissive little chap who had quite a hard time in there.
He was quite quickly adopted and for a while things went well. Unfortunately as he found his feet he became possessive over beds etc and has recently been returned for this behaviour.
Since his return Fry has been learning that possessive behaviour isn’t accepted here and with firm rules and boundaries and confident handling the issue is manageable.
He will however need an experienced adopter who will not be phased by “stroppy terrier” behaviour.
Fry gets on well with other dogs but would be quite happy as the only dog in the home. He wouldn’t want to live with any dog that was too boisterous or in his face.
He ignores the safe rescue cat and will need an adult home environment. Fry enjoys his walks and is good on and off lead. He is an affectionate little boy who enjoys cuddles and fuss.
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 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 5foot minimum in height and secure.
