Dog for adoption!

[RomanianRescueAppeal]

Hi all,

On behalf of the Romanian Rescue Appeal (http://romanianrescueappeal.uk/), we have a lovely dog available in the East Dulwich area for adoption called Ebony (picture attached). She is approx. 4 years old, fully vaccinated, chipped, wormed, spayed and is registered with the Neighbourhood Vet having arrived in the UK from Romania two weeks ago. She weighs approximately 9 kilos and is a small-medium sized dog.

We think she is a mixture of Jack Russell, Labrador and Dachshund but who knows. Regardless, her temperament is very loving and calm. She loves other dogs but is happy to be the only dog in the household too. Whilst she is timid at first, once she knows you, she will be your shadow, take a belly rub or a brushing here and there and try to eat the flies in the garden. Ebony can sit, knows her name and is toilet trained. She is still learning to walk on the lead (her training only started two few weeks ago when she arrived into foster care) as she has never lived in a home before and was always a stray in Romania. We would therefore hope her new adoptive parents can continue her training and that they have a garden for her to play in.

Ebony is slightly nervous of men (she may flinch at first if a man goes to touch her but is in no way aggressive) due to the unknown abuse she has suffered in the past but we are using positive reinforcement to try and show her that she will not be hurt again. It would therefore be good if she could go to a home where there is at least one female so she feels safe.

Please reach out and PM me if you would like to meet Ebony to consider adopting her or if you have any questions. The total fee for the adoption process is ?310. Whilst this may be a higher cost than other charities in the UK this is because it involves her transport. We do hope you'll consider adopting Ebony or, if you'd like to help in other ways such as fostering or fundraising, please visit the website above or contact us.

Thank you!
