Freud: female dog to adopt

Freud is a medium sized collie cross aged around three years old. Isn’t cat tested yet but could be. Can live with or without other dogs. Adult home needed We met Freud initially back in January when we visited the Botoşani public shelter in Romania. He was a friendly boy who was put in our list of dogs to bring to the UK. Sadly that list was long and we’ve only just managed to get him here. Unfortunately in the interim period he was attacked through the bars of his pen and a neighbouring dog bit off his ear. Freud can be hesitant with strangers but is super loving and affectionate once he knows people well. He is mixing ok with the other dogs in his foster home but would also love to be the only dog in the home. He would like an adult home.

Freud 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.
