Υιοθετήστε τον/την Ralph

Ralph is a medium sized golden Labrador cross aged around eight years old. Isn’t yet cat tested. He’d rather be the only dog in the home.Children 12 plus. We believe this boy to be Rupert’s son and he’s an absolute chip off the old block with both looks and stubborn mannerisms. Poor Ralph spent years in the Botosani public shelter in Romania, his two brothers are still there and can’t come to us until we’ve found homes for the two such similar souls that we have already! Ralph is a sweet old soul that is learning all about his new domestic life, but he’s insistent on putting up a little bit of protest regarding “new tricks” such as walking on a lead. He’ll do it, and he’ll enjoy the walk, but he’s just gotta tell you first that he doesn’t appreciate being restricted to going where the humans want him to go. If he wants to sniff something, he’s going to let you know, he’s just actually very amusing! He asks for a fuss but then looks confused about why he’s asked and why he’s enjoying it, but you can see that he is. It’s a lot to get used to and he’s just through the process in his own unique way and we’re loving watching it happen. Ralph gets on with other dogs to a point but would rather be the only dog in the home. Despite never having a bed or bedding in his life before, he’s decided he likes them and he doesn’t want to share them. It’s all bluster and bravado but perhaps it would be easier just to let him have his own way in this one and let him be the only dog in the home, he does deserve to be spoilt after all! He could live with respectful children aged twelve plus. Despite all the comedy antics, Ralph is so happy to be here and be around the humans who he seems to understand are just trying to love him and be his friend. His tail is wagging a lot these days and he just needs his own forever home to wag it in!

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. Ralph is a medium sized golden Labrador cross aged around eight years old. Isn’t yet cat tested.
