Jamie is a medium to large crossbreed who is believed to be around five to six years old.
We first met Jamie during our trip to a private shelter in Romania in November last year. The video of him trembling from head to toe in fear went viral and everybody had an opinion on it! Jamie is now in a UK foster home and advancing in leaps and bounds. He is ready to move on to his forever home where he will continue to progress in the coming months.
Jamie is a quiet and contented boy who is no trouble at all. After all the years of hard, damp floors in the shelter he’s just so delighted to have a comfortable bed in the warm. His bed of choice is a crate right by the radiator and he will snooze away the hours, blatantly relieved that his tears of hardship are well and truly in the past.
Jamie has been bathed, groomed, walked and stroked and has taken it all in his stride. He doesn’t yet approach and ask for a fuss but this will come in time and cannot be rushed. He will comfortably walk past us in confined spaces now and is getting more trustful daily.
Jamie will need a calm and patient adopter. He will need at least one other confident dog in the household to show him the ropes. He can live in a household with respectful children aged twelve plus as long as they understand he willl need time to adjust before becoming a “normal” dog.
Jamie fostered Norwich Norfolk.

Adoption Policy
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 5ft min & secure. All dogs are vaccinated, microchipped and neutered (unless the dog is too young to be neutered).
