SAM’S SEARCH

Sam is a long coated German Shepherd approximately 7 years old. He is desperately searching to find a permanent and stable home.

Sam suffered an unpleasant existence before he came into RSPCA care and was confined to a cupboard for over 14 hours a day whilst his owners were at work. He is a loveable character who adores attention and likes nothing better than having some fuss.

His coat will need daily attention and he also needs to gain weight as underneath his thick coat Sam is still very thin.

It will take time for Sam to feel confident in his new home as he worries about being left alone. He needs to feel secure and in time he will reward his new owners with loyalty and affection.

Sam is currently in foster care to help him improve condition and so we can assess him better in terms of finding him a ‘forever’ home.

RESCUED LABRADORS

These are just a few of the Labradors we have at Radcliffe, all of which need to find suitable new homes.

The dogs were among 82 removed from a location in Norfolk when their owner could no longer cope".

These dogs are not your average Andrex Labradors and sadly many are very nervous.

They have never been outside and have never been socialised with the exception of being around other dogs. As such they have never been house trained or lived in a house, never been on a lead or even seen grass before now! They will not have met children or cats, cars or bikes, vacuum cleaners, washing machines or heard a television. Many of these things will be an overwhelming experience for them.

The Labradors all have an estimated age between 6 and 10 years and have lived all of their lives before now in a barn.

Could you offer one of these dogs a home?

If you think you may like to give a home to one or more of these very special dogs please consider the following;-

Are you experienced with dogs? These dogs are not first time dogs and their new owners will encounter many difficulties and need to be able to recognise certain behaviours.

Have you got endless time and patience? These dogs will need to be treated as puppies, as everything will be new to them. They are likely to be fearful and try to escape new situations. Their recovery may be slow and frustrating.

Are you totally committed? These dogs need a stable and permanent home for the rest of their lives.

These dogs will become available for homing as soon as we feel they are fit enough and ready to face another change to their environment. Each one will be different and will be treated as an individual.

If you are not in a position to give one of our dogs a new home you can still help aid their recovery by pressing the donate now button.
