Laura

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Laura is a medium sized collie type crossbreed aged around five years old. Not yet cat tested. Can live with or without other dogs. Adult only calm environment needed. Laura has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. Despite us visiting the shelter three or four times a year we hadn’t noticed her in the two years she’d been incarcerated there. Getting noticed in amongst six to eight hundred dogs is certainly a challenge! In our trip in March this year she found the courage to push herself forward and we found her to be a real hidden gem. Laura is coming on leaps and bounds since arriving in her UK foster home. Lead training was quite scary for her but as you will see from the pics she soon overcame her fear and is now loving being able to run freely for the first time in so long. Laura can live with other dogs but could also be the only dog in her forever home. We anticipate she will be shy when arriving at her new home but once given time her lucky new family will see the sweet and affectionate girl that we have been honoured with getting to know. Laura will need an experienced owner due to her shyness with strangers. She will need a calm and adult only environment. Laura 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. Laura is a medium sized collie type crossbreed aged around five years old. Not yet cat tested. Can live with or without other dogs.
