Erica

Erica is a small to medium sized crossbreed (13/14kg) aged around seven to eight years old. Uninterested in the resident cat and rabbit. Prefer to be an only dog. Respectful children 10 plus. Erica has come into our care recently from the Botosani public shelter in Romania. She was taken to the shelter along with three other dogs when her owner died early last year. Erica is a sweet calm and laid back girl who loves nothing more than to cuddle up with her humans. The moment you sit down she will be on the sofa next to you or just straight across your lap! She takes food and treats well and knows to sit and wait patiently even if her back end is wiggling like crazy while she does! Erica is very mindful of corrections and she’s clever enough to understand the rules and routines after only being told a couple of times. She currently lives with two small resident dogs but she’s not a fan of sharing the attention so would prefer to be an only dog so she can have you all to herself! She had no reaction at all to the safe rescue cat and has paid minor attention to the resident rabbit, often going to say hello when she pops to the bathroom but otherwise uninterested. She can live with respectful children 10’plus. Erica fostered Norwich Norfolk If you are interested please message or call between 9am to 5pm Mon – Fri or 9am to 4pm Sat.

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.
