Six-year-old Romanian rescue dog seeks Norfolk home

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 29 Oct, 17:13 · Archive

Hovis, a six-year-old crossbreed rescued from a Romanian shelter, is seeking an adult-only home in Norfolk.

Hovis is a six-year-old crossbreed currently in the care of Safe Rescue For Dogs, a Norfolk-based charity. He was discovered during a rescue visit to Botosani public shelter in Romania in March 2024, where he had been living among older dogs. Staff at the shelter say he was nearly overlooked among around 800 dogs at the facility until they spotted his 'inquisitive and cheeky face' on the last day of their trip.

Hovis arrived in the UK in September 2024 after being transported from Romania. The charity describes him as a 'sweet and affectionate boy' who will play for hours and 'absolutely loves' walks. He particularly enjoys time in private fields where he can run freely.

The shelter notes that Hovis sometimes pulls on the lead due to excitement, meaning he may benefit from some training in his new home. Safe Rescue For Dogs is seeking an adult-only household for him. Anyone interested in offering Hovis a home should contact the charity.
