Divine is a medium to large sized German shepherd cross around 4 years old. We met Divine on our trip to Romania at the beginning of October. She has a very distinctive face but it’s hard to mentally pinpoint why and what is “irregular” about it. In all seriousness she reminds me of when I was a child and my mum put my pigtails in too tight pulling my face back. She also has an “irregular” walk and is just overall a bit wonky. None of these facts detract from her charm or charisma though and she is a happy, healthy, friendly girl who adores people and cuddles. In addition to the other “irregularities” Divine was attacked at the shelter and she has a weird kind of “skin bunched up” scar that makes her back/neck look humped. I realise it’s quite an un pretty picture my words paint lol but we think she is completely beautiful…. she is just a little different and what would the world be without variety right? Divine gets on well with other dogs but would equally love to be the only dog in the home. She would be happy to live with respectful children aged eight years plus. She is a calm and quiet girl who is a pleasure to have around.
Divine 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).
