Rox

Mixed Breed · Female · Young · 2 years

Rox is a medium sized crossbreed aged around 13 months old. Not Cat tested. Can live with or without other dogs. Children respectful 12 plus Rox and her sister Ree were found in the middle of nowhere in Romania, near a road, obviously abandoned, without food, water, or shelter. It was last summer, when temperatures were soaring outside. They were taken by the Animal Police and brought to Roxana’s shelter. When Rox first arrived with us, she was a shy girl who found the world a little overwhelming. Since then, we’ve watched her grow in confidence day by day, revealing her gentle, loving side. Her journey hasn’t been without challenges. She spent several weeks undergoing two operations to correct hip dysplasia, but she faced every hurdle with quiet determination and has now made a full recovery. Her vet is delighted with her progress and expects her to live a normal, active life without any further complications. She has a wonderfully gentle nature and has settled beautifully into her foster home, where she gets on very well with her foster pack. While she can be cautious around new people at first, with a little patience and kindness she soon learns to trust and her affectionate personality begins to shine through. As Rox’s confidence has grown, so has her love for human company. She absolutely adores being close to her people and gives the best face licks! Once she forms a bond, her loyalty has been unwavering, and loves nothing more than spending time with those she trusts. Because of her early hip issues, she had a slower start when it came to exploring the world, but she is now gaining confidence on her walks and enjoying new experiences more and more each day. She will need a patient and understanding adopter who is willing to give her the time she needs to settle in and build trust. In return, they will be rewarded with one of the most loving, gentle, and loyal dogs imaginable. Rox mixes well with the other dogs in her foster home and we would prefer another dog as full time resident in her forever home although this is not essential. She could live with respectful children aged 12 plus. Rox fostered North Walsham 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. Rox is a medium sized crossbreed aged around 13 months old. Not Cat tested. Can live with or without other dogs.

About Rox

What life with Rox looks like

Rox is a medium-sized young adult mixed breed dog waiting at Safe Rescue for Dogs in United Kingdom.

An young adult dog fits most household rhythms once the first couple of weeks of adjustment pass. Two reasonable walks a day plus play time is usually enough. Plan a "decompression fortnight" — quiet routine, no visitors, no off-leash adventures — to let them settle.

🇬🇧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 Rox, answered.

How do I contact the shelter about Rox?
Use the phone, email, or website link in the sidebar of this page. Safe Rescue for Dogs handles screening and the adoption contract directly — TailHarbor doesn't broker the conversation. When you reach out, mention you saw Rox on TailHarbor so they know which animal you're asking about.
Can I adopt Rox if I live in another country?
Yes, in most cases. Rescues across Europe routinely place animals abroad — Safe Rescue for Dogs 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. Plan for an extra €100–€350 in transport costs depending on distance.
Is Rox 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 — ask them directly if you need details on specific vaccines, recent bloodwork, or chronic conditions.
What happens if Rox isn't the right fit?
Every reputable rescue accepts an animal back if the adoption genuinely doesn't work — that's part of the standard contract. Talk it through with Safe Rescue for Dogs early rather than rehoming privately; they know Rox 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 — 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.
