Jasper is a 8-year-old Bedlington Terrier, weighing approximately 8.9kg. He came into Islay Dog Rescue after his previous owners were no longer able to care for him. He is currently in foster, where he settled in quickly and has been getting on well with the resident dog, as well as other dogs he meets.He does like to playfully chase the resident cat, so would be best suited to a home without cats, or with very dog-savvy cats.Jasper is friendly and affectionate, while also appreciating his own space. He can display resource guarding around his food, so any adopters will need to be mindful of this and continue working on it with him. Due to this behaviour, he is not suitable to live with children.He is house trained and walks well on a lead. Jasper could live in a flat, provided he receives three regular walks per day he does not toilet indoors. He can be left alone for up to four hours and enjoys having the radio on for company.Jasper previously lived with a female owner and clearly has a soft spot for the ladies, though he has no issues living with or meeting men.Do you have space in your home and heart for this fun little character?He is fully vaccinated, microchipped, treated for parasites, assessed, and neutered.His adoption fee is £400, which goes directly towards helping to save the lives of dogs just like him.

Sweet Sidney is now ready to find his forever home. At 14 years young, this lovely little Bedlington Terrier has settled beautifully into rescue life, and shown us exactly who he is, a friendly, playful, affectionate old boy who still has plenty of sparkle left.Since coming into our care, Sidney has had a full makeover, a much-needed dental and a clean bill of health from our vets, and he’s now feeling so much more comfortable. Unfortunately he has had to be completely shaved, but it will soon grow back, but in the meantime he appreciates a jumper or a coat for walking in. He’s eating well, enjoying his days, and loves being around people. He may be a golden oldie, but he still has a cheerful, cheeky side that makes everyone smile.Sidney is looking for a calm, loving home where he can enjoy the comforts he truly deserves, a warm bed, kind hands, and someone who appreciates the quiet joy an older dog brings.
