Mozzarella is a medium sized crossbreed. His passport reports him to be fifteen years old but we think probably closer to twelve. I will let Angela tell you how he came to be with us…. “met him a few weeks ago on the Botosani trip. We found so many emaciated (and I mean emaciated) dogs hidden in pens in the shelter, so it became our mission to check every single one of the 950 dogs and move the weakest of them to a safer place. The fluffies can be deceiving, so I was hell bent on getting my mitts on them all to check them, the big, the shy and even the scary ones. Then we got to pen 147..there was a huge fluffy dog, with a guarded, blank expression. Now, I’m pretty good at reading dogs, but I honestly had no idea which way this was going to go, I sat down with him, gritted my teeth, gave Wendy a ‘oh shit’ look and went for it. The second I touched him, his eyes closed and he just melted in to my hand and shuffled himself onto my knee, the first human contact he’d had in at least months, maybe years. My heart just broke, I cried, Wendy cried and he just enjoyed the cuddle. I promised this old, achey, sad boy, that if he could keep himself safe, I’d get him out, I mean, it was only fair after I’d covered the poor bugger in snot and tears ” Mozzarella is an absolute gentleman. He walks well on a lead and demands nothing from anyone but is so grateful for any love he receives. He is living amicably with other dogs but would be very happy as an only dog. He would love a quiet retirement home and could happily mix with respectful children aged eight and over.

Mozzerella 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).
