Poppy: female puppy to adopt

Poppy is a mioritic shepherd (maybe cross?) aged around eight months old. Poppy and her siblings were found in a city in Romania last January. . Small pups, lost, wandering among cars and all sorts of dangers. The man who found them, being a friend of a friend, asked for Roxana’s help and they were taken to her shelter. Poppy is a typical adolescent dog, clumsily learning the canine lessons of life. She is now in a UK foster home but will be playing catch up for a while as she’s spent her puppyhood in a pen. She will need time invested in her and effort put into training her as she will be a big girl when fully grown. She will need to be shut away when visitors come EVERYTIME as this breed are protective and do not like guests. Poppy is a docile and affectionate girl who loves playing in the pack in her foster home. She would love to live with another playful dog but could go as the only dog as long as she was kept well socialised on walks. Poppy could live with respectful children aged ten plus. Experience or research into the breed is required before applying please.

Poppy fostered Norwich Norfolk.

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.
