Survivor was discovered on the aspect of the street so weak that he couldn’t stand and lined in wounds. It took a while for him to realize the energy to even stroll however he’s now recovered and gained sufficient weight to be neutered and has come to the UK.
The vet believes he’s an previous boy and we can not even think about the type of life he’s led. Survivor has a beautiful temperament and loves each adults and kids.
Survivor mixes properly with different canines however is just simply neutered so can nonetheless be just a little bit edgy with some males. Survivor can not stay with cats or small furry animals.
Survivor walks properly on a lead but additionally spends limitless hours asleep on the couch. Whenever you undertake a Secure Rescue canine, you MUST use a slip lead.
This can hold your canine protected: your new canine shall 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 canines can escape from a collar and/or harness).
It’s going to take AT LEAST 3-6 months to your canine to settle in and so that you can know your canine totally (longer for nervous canines).
The slip lead should ALWAYS be used throughout this settling-in interval.

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, chances are you’ll wish 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.

Retractable/extendable leads must not ever be used on our canines. Adopted canines have to be collected from the rescue and transported straight house in a crate.
