Lizzie

Mixed Breed · Female · Adult · 5 years

Lizzie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around four years old. Lizzie came into our care a few months ago after we met her on a trip to the Botosani public shelter in Romania. She was scarily emaciated back then and we did wonder if she would survive long enough for us to get her to the UK. Since her arrival she has steadily put on weight and has now flourished into a friendly, loving and happy little girl. Lizzie was always curious about people and happy to be around them but was initially afraid to be actually touched. It has taken a few months for her to learn to trust people which is understandable given her background. She has been in her UK foster home for a few months now and can still be a little wary of strangers or sudden movements, however over the last few weeks she has learnt to be confident to approach people for a fuss and enjoys being stroked. She gives her foster family the most incredible ‘whole body wags’ when her tail gets going! Lizzie could live with other dogs or be an only dog if adopter was home most of the time. She is very playful and loves her chew toys. She would be happy in a household with children aged ten plus. Lizzie has learnt how to walk on a lead and is now thoroughly enjoying her walks. She is a mischievous and cheerful character who has so much more inside of her that will emerge in the weeks ahead. Lizzie is fostered in Norwich Norfolk. If you are interested please message or call between 9am to 5pm Mon – Fri or 9am to 4pm Sat. . Adoption Donation Fees From 1st Dec 2025 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 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). Lizzie is a medium sized crossbreed aged around four years old.
