Two dogs are looking for their forever homes after being returned to foster care.

Perry, a seven-year-old black Labrador cross, is currently fostered in Norwich with safe Rescue for Dogs after his previous owner could no longer look after him.

"He is a sweet and placid boy who is a quiet addition to the household," a spokesman for the charity said.

"He walks nicely on a lead, travels well in a car and is happy to be left home alone for reasonable periods of time."

The charity also explained he would be happy to live with cats but would likely be better off as the only dog in the home.

Perry could live with children aged seven and older who are respectful of his space.

Rocco, a two-year-old medium-sized crossbreed, is currently fostered in North Walsham, also under Safe Rescue for Dogs.

He has been adopted and returned twice through no fault of his own.

"The first return was due to unforeseen health issues of his single owner so there was nobody to care for him," explained the spokesman.

"The second reluctant return recently was due to the other dog in the household refusing to accept him even though his loving owners tried so hard for months to make it work.

"Rocco is a delightful and friendly boy who is a delightful foster."

He had a hard start to life and was rescued from Crivatu, Romania, an area of shrubland known to be used to dump rubbish, furniture and unwanted dogs.

"Rocco escaped death by only 24 hours," the charity added.

The day after volunteers managed to catch the dogs and get them safe, the rest of the litter were mercilessly slaughtered and left in the rubbish

Once safe, Rocco was brought to the UK at seven months old, but he has not yet found a stable home.
