Melody is a small crossbreed aged around eighteen months old. Isn’t cat tested yet but could be. Would prefer another dog in her home. Children 12 plus We met Melody in October whilst we visited a shelter in Romania. She was living in the street outside the gates of the shelter and was already pregnant for the second time. We asked the shelter owner to catch her as we wanted to stop the cycle of more puppies being born into street life. Melody is now in a UK foster home and looking for her forever family. She is initially a little shy but very sweet and affectionate once she knows you well. Melody would like another dog in her forever home ideally but could settle as the only dog with a little extra time and patience. She would like a quiet home environment with no children under the age of twelve. She is enjoying her walks now and learning everything about domestic life at a rapid pace. She is a very special little character who we cannot wait to see thrive in her new home far away from the streets where we found her.
Melody 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.
