Gabriel

Mixed Breed · Male · Adult · 8 years

Gabriel is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight years old. Failed cat testing. Can live with or without resident dog. Adult home needed. Wow I can’t believe I’m typing this boy an album, I don’t think anyone ever thought that I would…. Since the very building of the shelter, Gabriel was the heart and soul of Crivatu, he was moved there before the shelter was even finished being built and we have known and loved him since meeting him after lock down on our first visit there. He was an integral part of my family summer holiday there a couple of years ago and a favourite with my adult children. He is special, I can’t tell you why he is but he just is and he is family to us all. Every time we left at the end of a trip and he had to go back to spending his nights in a pen it hurt us and he cried for three days. He is perhaps not the easiest dog and he needs someone with a good level of experience. He can be the only dog in the home or he can share his home with another non too boisterous dog. He can object when told to get off furniture, but he is very manageable to anyone who has dealt with these issues before. He is a pleasure to walk, never reacted when the street dogs followed us down the street yapping at him, but he doesn’t like large vans or Lorries passing him. He is not good with cats. This boy is just something special and anyone adopting him will have the most loyal friend. He lives for his walks and is so grateful for all time put into him. Gabriel fostered Norwich Norfolk If you are interested please message or call between 9am to 5pm Mon – Fri or 9am to 4pm Sat. . Adoption Donation Fees are Puppies already neutered and all adult dogs: £430. Un-neutered puppies on spay/neuter contracts: £530 (You will receive a £100 rebate once you send us proof of neutering). Senior dogs (10+ years): £150–£250 (depending on age and individual needs). Adoption Terms & 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 secure metal crate. Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure. Gabriel is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight years old. Failed cat testing. Can live with or without resident dog.
