CyriI fostered Norwich Norfolk.
Cyril is a medium sized crossbreed probably aged around eight or nine years old. 
I personally caught Cyril during a trip to the shelter in Crivatu back in March. I met him down at the barking bush whilst trying to catch an unspayed female, to be honest there wasn’t much “catching” involved, I was setting up the dog trapped and I felt something next to me and it was him.
Now I am very bonded to this boy so only special people who agree to spoil him rotten need apply. I cannot tell you how sweet and gentle he is, despite his scars showing he’s had a rough life.
He was almost certainly owned by someone and has been thrown out because he’s gotten old, because that is what is commonly done in Romania.
He was infested with ticks and a vet trip the next day diagnosed him with early stages of babesiosis. Thus would have killed him out there in the wild if gone untreated.
He’s not got a lot of his teeth left, maybe not a lot of years of life left, but he’s got us on his side now and we will do all that we can for him. If you can offer Cyril a home then please make contact.
He mixes well with other dogs and likes people and cuddles very much. He could live in another home with or without an other dog.
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 5foot minimum in height and secure.
