Nori's Story: Nori has lived in desperate circumstance all his short life now in the council pound and has run out of time and options. Rescue Remedies offered a Rescue place saving his life. Nori is now neutered, chipped, and fully vaccinated. Nori came to our Rescue Centre nr Gatwick whilst awaiting his new family.

If you are interested in rehoming one of our dogs, the first step is to complete and submit our ONLINE HOMING QUESTIONNAIRE. We do not discuss dogs without a homing questionnaire submission. You must be ready and we will only contact you if we have a suitable dog. For more detailed information, please see our Homing Process.

Please support our work and help our long stay dogs: Our minimum adoption donation is £300 (£500 for a pup under 1 yr old). This supports our continuing rescue work and is non-refundable. We exist solely due to the goodwill and donations of our supporters and volunteers. Our dogs need supportive families who will offer them patience, time and tolerance whilst they settle in their new homes. Our Rescue offers all our dogs back-up for life.

Please note: Dog laws have changed, with zero public tolerance and prejudice against bull breeds and terriers in particular. Our Rescue asks new owners to keep their dog on a lead in public spaces and manage and support its encounters with new dogs and people, so as not to place the dog's life at risk. Destruction and Control Orders are commonplace nowadays.

Nori's progress through our Rescue is below.
We work with our dogs, who often reveal an evolving picture and positive skills as they build trust.

Original referral information: 10.1.25: Please please can you help cant have a dog with a desperate past be put to sleep at the age of one! Good with people never been walked lived in back courtyard., so novice in all things.

I met and walked Nori for the first time yesterday. What a handsome chap he is!

Our first stop was for a photo-session with Anne, where he posed nicely for his profile pic and some other shots. That completed, we headed off on our walk.

He's still a youngster and quite inexperienced, which likely explains why he can be a bit "all over the place" (at least initially) but he doesn't bounce or lunge around and doesn't pull strongly, so is perfectly manageable - you just need to be prepared for him to change tack at any time. I decided to start with a track walk before a testing him out on along a road on the return leg. I simply kept the leads short on the pavement/road section and we had no issues.

Overall Nori walked very well and he will soon gain experience and grow in confidence.

Breeze and I had a lovely walk with Nori and Bek today.

We all had a brilliant time in the sun and really enjoyed our time together

Haruto and I joined Nori and Bek for their walk yesterday, both boys walked lovely together. Nori is doing really well since coming into the rescue, he walks much better on the lead, hardly zig zagging! Does well walking with other dogs and loves his affection. Nori isn't phased with moving vehicles and waits patiently before crossing the road

Breeze and I went for a lovely walk with Hugo yesterday.

They were so well behaved and really enjoyed their time together.

Near the end of the walk we caught up with Sully and Nori who joined us back to the rescue.

Such a lovely walk with the best companions .

I met Nori for the first time today, very bouncy and excited to get out but a few treats through the kennel from other walker and it was easy enough. He loveddd running around, sniffing and playing ball in the paddocks.

From Nicky:

Nori the Parkour pup.
This young bouncy bundle of fluff is full of energy but incredibly gentle when taking treats.
He’s very excited when I arrive to walk him and shows his excitement by bouncing high up against his kennel walls. Hence the ‘Parkour Pup’.
Harnessed up and plied with treats off we go to his favourite place ‘the paddock’ for a bit of fetch. He’s really improving with returning the ball.
Nori loves the water and stands in the shallow paddling pool, he’s not bothered when splashed either, in fact he returns for more!
I’ve started to have him come over to me for an ear scratch and he’ll lean into me too which is lovely. He has a tendency to jump up ‘for kisses’ so I’m turning my back to try and teach him that’s not acceptable… but he’s learning and eager to please!
I can see Nori as a great companion on long walks, hikes and near water. Any outdoor activity would be loved by this gorgeous boy. I reckon he’d be great as an adventure dog - move over Dora, Nori is here!

Nori was an extra for me to walk yesterday, he is very wriggly to harness but once the harness is on, it was easy to attach the leads and we were out. We walked round the grounds for a while then I took him in the paddock, we attempted fetch - I threw the ball he ran after it but rather than bring it back to me it took to the water trough. He then played with the ball trying to catch it in the water, when he managed to catch he threw it out - we repeated this for about 20 mins. Lovely boy who likes his treats
