Labrador Retriever · Αρσενικό · Ενήλικας · 8 έτη
Ο Rupert είναι ένας μεγάλος χρυσός λαμπράδορς περίπου 8 ετών. Ο Rupert έρχεται πρόσφατα στη φροντίδα μας από το δημόσιο κέντρο φροντίδας Botosani στη Ρουμανία. Είχε περάσει αρκετό καιρό εκεί μαζί με τρία ενήλικα γιούς του που είναι ακόμη εκεί. Ο Rupert είναι ένας αποφασισμένος γέρος πρόβατος που, πιθανώς, ζούσε ένα αρκετά περιπετειώδες ζωή πριν το κέντρο, συνηθισμένος να πηγαίνει όπου και πότε θέλει. Βρήκε την εκπαίδευση με ίππα δύσκολη και έχει πλέον (κυρίως) αποδεχτεί ότι πρέπει να πηγαίνει όπου τον οδηγούν τα άνθρωποι. Ωστόσο, προς το παρόν βγαίνει μόνο σε σύντομες βόλτες, γιατί όταν αποφασίσει ότι έχει κοπάσει και έχει έρθει η ώρα να καθίσει, δεν υπάρχει πολλά που να τον πείσουν αλλιώς. Κατά την άφιξή του στο διαμένον του στο Ηνωμένο Βασίλειο, περισσότερο το πρώτο μισό ημέρα ξεκίνησε να ελέγχει όλα τα όρια για να δει αν υπάρχει τρόπος έξοδου, όταν τοποθετείται σε νέες καταστάσεις είναι ένα έθιμο που επαναλαμβάνει. Μόνο όταν έχει αποδείξει στον εαυτό του ότι δεν είναι υπερδύναμος και δε μπορεί να πηδήξει τετραγωνικά φράχτες με τα γήρατα του οστά του θα εκπνεύσει βαθιά και θα εγκατασταθεί σε ένα μοτίβο που κοιμάται σχεδόν όλη την ημέρα. Είναι ικανοποιημένος με τη θέση του αλλά πρέπει να το δει πρώτα αν υπάρχει καλύτερο από την άλλη πλευρά του φράχτη. Δεν είναι ένας διαδικασία που διαρκεί πολύ, αλλά φαίνεται να είναι ένα τελετουργικό που μπορεί να περιμένει όταν έρχεται. Ο Rupert ζει ευτυχισμένα με άλλα σκύλους αλλά είναι απολύτως ασχετικός. Θα ήταν ικανοποιημένος ως μόνος σκύλος και έχει ζήσει ευτυχισμένα με το γάτο και ακόμα κοινοποιεί τα τρόφιμά του μαζί του. Το γεγονός ότι φαίνεται να είναι ένας πολύ χαλαρός, γενναιόδωρος γέρος λαμπράδορς δεν είναι προς το παρόν ψιθυριστικός για αγκαλιά ή αναγνώριση, αν και το επιτρέπει και φαίνεται ούτε θλιβόμενος ούτε φοβισμένος. Υποθέτω αν ζήσε τόσο μακριά στη ζωή του χωρίς την αγάπη και καλοσύνη των ανθρώπων, η έννοια ενός αγκαλιάσματος είναι ακόμα ένα μυστήριο γι' αυτόν. Από βέβαιο δεν θα ήταν εκεί να κοιτάει στα πόδια σας ή να φέρνει τα παπούτσια σας κάποια στιγμή, αλλά με το χρόνο και με αρκετή αγαθοποίηση με τρόφιμα, τι ξέρεις;;! Ο Rupert θα ήθελε ένα περιβάλλον οικογένειας αντικειμένων χωρίς πολλή δραστηριότητα για τη σύνταξή του. Ο Rupert έμεινε στο Norfolk Norwich.

Rupert is a large golden labrador aged around eight years old. Rupert has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. He had been in there for some time along with his three adult sons who are still there. Rupert is a determined old goat who has probably led a pretty transient life prior to the shelter, used to going as and where he pleases. He found lead training rather a trial and has only now (mostly) accepted that he has to go where the humans direct now. However he is only going on short walks currently because when he decides he is tired and it’s time to lie down there’s not an awful lot that can be done to persuade him otherwise . On arrival in his UK foster home he spent the first half day just testing all boundaries to see if there was a way out, when placed in new situations this is a habit that he repeats. Only when he has proven to himself that he is not super dog and cannot jump five foot fences with his aging bones will he give a big sigh and settle into a pattern of pretty much snoozing most of the day. He is content with his lot but has to just see first if there’s better on the other side of that fence. It’s not a process that lasts long but seems to be a ritual that can be expected when he’s moved. Rupert is living happily with other dogs but is quite oblivious to them. He’d be just as happy as the only dog and has been cohabiting happily with the cat and even shares his treats with him. Despite giving the appearance of a soppy, docile old lab Rupert is not currently approaching for fuss or appreciative of it, although he will allow it and seems neither distressed or scared by it. I guess if he’s lived this far in his life without the love and kindness of humans the concept of a cuddle is still an enigma to him. He certainly won’t be lying devotedly by your feet or bringing you your slippers anytime soon, but in time and with enough treat bribery who knows?!? Rupert would like an adult family environment without too much activity for his retirement years. Rupert 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 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). Rupert is a large golden labrador aged around eight years old.
