Muffin: female dog to adopt

Muffin is a small to medium sized crossbreed aged around seven to eight years old. Muffin has joined us in the UK recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. She was an “orange eartag” dog meaning she’s been in there for over half her life. Muffin is still a little subdued in her uk foster home but gains confidence daily. It’s sad to see her confusion to have space to move around and choices of where to go and what to do around the home. She is not yet the dog she was born to be but over the coming weeks she will bloom and she just needs a forever home to evolve in. Muffin gets on well with other dogs but could also live as an only dog, she’s fine with the safe rescue cat. She is learning fast how to walk on a lead and will continue to gain experience out and about whilst still in our care. She’s looking for a quietish home environment with no children under the age of ten.

Muffin fostered Kings Lynn Norfolk.

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).
