Karina got here to us in June 2023 from a non-public shelter in Romania….. it’s a full thriller to us why this pretty affectionate lady hasn’t but been supplied her endlessly residence.
Karina is an exquisite pleasant lady who simply likes to be round folks. She is going to clamour for fuss and cuddles all day lengthy in her multi canine foster residence and we might merely love to seek out her someplace that she doesn’t need to compete for the love that she craves.
Karina is match and properly for her age and loves her walks. She is properly behaved each on and off lead. The saddest a part of fostering Karina is figuring out that regardless of her adoration of her household she has additionally acquired abuse in her previous.
There are seconds in her life when the ghosts of her previous meet up with her and we are going to see the comfortable go fortunate lady that we all know and love hit the ground and cower. These situations reduce over time however sadly we can not erase the unhealthy reminiscences for her, although we so dearly want we may.
It seems that some males set off the ghosts however she does get previous them, any males within the family might have to permit her a bit of additional time to belief them however she might be gained round with endurance and meals!
Karina is a really particular lady. As I write this she has been with us for fifteen months, we are going to miss her when she goes however I can not inform you how typically we speak about how a lot she would love a unique life in a quietish surroundings with people to name her personal.
Karina can stay with different canine however would in all probability favor to be the one one. She has no points with cats. She loves the canine savvy kids aged 9 and up in her foster residence however can be higher typically in a house with no kids because the comings and goings of their buddies could fear her.
If you undertake a Secure Rescue canine, you MUST use a slip lead. This may maintain your canine protected: your new canine can be nervous and won’t belief you, and you’ll not know which conditions may upset your canine. In case your canine panics, then a slip lead is the one method to stop your canine from escaping (many canine can escape from a collar and/or harness).
It’s going to take AT LEAST 3-6 months in your canine to settle-in and so that you can know your canine totally (longer for nervous canine). The slip lead should ALWAYS be used throughout this settling-in interval.

The slip lead is a security machine and should NEVER be used as a coaching instrument. Utilizing the result in apply strain to the canine’s neck is damaging. In case your canine pulls on the lead, then we are able to advise you on coaching strategies that keep away from hurt.
As soon as your canine is settled, you might need to think about using a harness (along with the slip lead) in case your canine is comfy with being dealt with when it’s fitted. Most harnesses aren’t escape-proof, however harnesses with a strap behind the ribcage (e.g. Ruffwear Webmaster or Good Match Harnesses) are safer.
Retractable / extendable leads mustn’t ever be used on our canine.
Adopted canine have to be collected from the rescue and transported straight residence in a crate.
