Archie is 3 years old. Not cat friendly. Can live with or without other dogs. Children 10 plus Archie is a small three year old Biewer Terrier who was recently surrendered to us due to him not coping well in the environment with a cat and a child. Archie can be a nervous little chap at first when he meets you but soon wants a lap to sit on and likes a cuddle and a stroke. He is good on walks and will greet dogs in a sociable manner, Archie can be rehomed with another dog or on his own. He does not travel well and will be sick if fed before . He does not get on with cats and is anxious around young children so will need a home with no children under the age of ten. He needs to be fed grain free dry food as he has a possible grain allergy.
Archie fostered Fakenham 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.
