Runa is a medium sized crossbreed aged around eight years old. Confident cat friendly. Can live with or without other dogs. children 7plus Runa was living in fields in a village in Romania. She was initially only caught to attend a spayathon and was supposed to be released back into the fields after, with the view that at least she can’t create any more unwanted dogs into the world. However a good friend of ours saw her picture on Facebook and offered to sponsor her care and help find her a home if they didn’t release her back to the fields. That’s where we came in…. She was moved to the Crivatu shelter in October so that we could meet her on a visit. She’s an absolute treasure and I’m so glad fate stopped her from going back on that field to struggle through the rest of her life. Runa is now in the UK and looking for the home she deserves. She gets on well with other dogs and seems to be ok with confident cats, she would also be happy to be the only pet in the home. She could live with respectful children aged seven plus. She’s a friendly and affectionate girl who will be wonderful addition to family life.
Runa 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.
