Please help Raggie by sharing this page! Raggie is a 10-year-old Crossbreed boy, small to medium-sized, currently in a foster home in Norwich, Norfolk through Safe Rescue. He came from a private shelter in Romania called Crivatu. He can live with cats and would like at least one other dog at home but no children please. Safe Rescue say, "Raggie lived his first year at Crivatu under a caravan, only coming out under the cover of darkness when no scary humans were around. Then for a while he lived feral and out of reach, and eventually he had to be darted to be given vaccinations and was then put in a pen which he learned to use as a base so he was more containable when he needed anything. "For years he was only ever touched when under sedation, he’s doing so so well after only a few weeks here. He follows us around and is always within reach but still backs off when you put your hand out to him. He enjoys his walks and trots along beautifully and you can stroke him and groom him easily when he’s on a lead but he flinches terribly if you touch his head and face. "There is something charming about this scruffy dog who is always around but not fully opened up to humans. He may never be an affectionate dog with people, but he is no trouble at all and asks so little." Please note – Safe Rescue have a policy that all dogs adopted from them must wear a slip lead on walks. Please only enquire about Safe Rescue dogs if you are happy to always use a slip lead – extendable leads are not acceptable to Safe Rescue. All dogs have to be collected and a crate must be used. Full details of their rehoming policy are on Raggie’s Facebook album here . _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ If you could help dear Raggie, please contact Safe Rescue below: Tel/Message: or between 9am-5pm Mon-Fri and 9am-4pm Sat Email: Please say you saw Raggie featured on the Oldies Club website. This replaces Raggie's original page dated 5 July 2026.

About Raggie

What life with Raggie looks like

Raggie is a small senior mixed breed dog waiting at The Oldies Club in United Kingdom.

Senior dogs settle in faster than younger ones. They want a soft bed, predictable meals, and short, sniff-heavy walks rather than runs. Many senior rescues bond deeply within weeks because they understand exactly how good a stable home is. Expect occasional vet visits for joint or dental care.

πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§Adopting from United Kingdom

UK shelters work under the Pet Travel Scheme (post-Brexit, the EU pet passport is not valid; a UK Animal Health Certificate is required for travel into the EU). Most UK rescues focus on domestic placements but some work with EU partners.

Frequently asked

Adopting Raggie, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Raggie?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. The Oldies Club handles screening and the adoption contract directly β€” TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Raggie on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Raggie if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad β€” The Oldies Club will tell you what they need (EU pet passport, rabies titer, transport coordination) and whether they handle transport themselves or refer you to a partner. UK adopters: post-Brexit travel into the EU requires an Animal Health Certificate. Transport is usually a separate cost, so ask for the exact figure before you commit.
Is Raggie already vetted, vaccinated, and chipped?
Most dogs on TailHarbor leave their shelter with sterilization, current vaccinations, microchip ID, and an EU pet passport included in the adoption fee. The vet status on this page reflects what the shelter has reported β€” ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Raggie isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work β€” that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with The Oldies Club early rather than rehoming privately; they know Raggie and can place them more successfully than a second-hand listing can.
Why does the description sometimes read awkwardly?
TailHarbor translates shelter descriptions into English from the source language (EN). Translation is imperfect β€” names of streets, donors, and shelter-specific terms occasionally slip through unidiomatically. For the cleanest read, click the source link to see the shelter's original page.
