Ursa fostered Norwich Norfolk
Ursa is a large shepherd type crossbreed aged around eighteen months old.
Ursa is the most comical and delightful chunk of dog but sadly she didn’t have a good start in life. Her mother and siblings were rescued from the streets of Romania but Ursa was in a bad way when she was found. It’s not known if she was attacked by her mother or if something fell on her but she was really very damaged. Ursa has an old pelvic fracture since she was a puppy. I think I told you we found her in a bad place with wounds. I assume something heavy fell on her.
Because of this her locomotor system never developed properly and she will always have issues. She has had a patella dislocation surgery on her left hind leg and she also has osteoarthritis. Even after surgery she still has a dislocation on that knee. It cannot be fixed surgically. The recommendation is that in later life she may need to take anti-inflammatories in case of pain, as well as supplements for the bones and joints. Currently she is in no pain and leads a very normal life. We realise that this is going to put off the majority of adopters but we couldn’t just leave her in Romania to fester and we have to try to find her a loving home.
Ursa is a pure delight in her UK foster home. Her clumsiness makes her even more adorable as she lumbers around playing with the other dogs. She is just a normal happy dog, loving life, with just a wonky leg! She could live with or without other dogs and can live with respectful children aged six plus.
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 crate.
Fences and gates must be 5foot minimum in height and secure.
If you are interested please message or call between 9am to 5pm Mon - Fri 9am to 4pm Sat on Tel 07788251197 or Tel 07899844524.
