St Francis Dogs Home

About Me: I am a sweet, fun-loving, and clever boy who loves a cuddle and a lap to sit on. I have missed out on a bit of important socialisation early on in life, and the world can sometimes be a bit overwhelming for me, but with lots of hard work and support from the humans here, I have come on in leaps and bounds. I can still find some situations a little tricky, but I love my training and I’m always eager to explore and learn new things!________________________________________Home CompatibilityChildren: Age 13 year +Dogs: Only dog in the homeCats: No catsHome Alone TimeComfortable being left: No-has separation anxiety, will need someone who can support him with separation anxiety work________________________________________Training and BehaviourCar Travel: Travels wellRecall: YesHousetrained: Yes, but will need some reminders in new homeReactivity towards Dogs: Can be social and playful with dogs with proper introduction. Jack has made several doggy friends here at St Francis and he absolutely loves his playdates and walks with them! However, due to limited early socialisation, Jack has on lead frustration and reactivity towards other dogs on walks. He will need walks in big open spaces where distance can be maintained while training is being put in place; he is not suitable for walking down narrow lanes, busy footpaths, or areas where dogs cannot easily be given space, as he may react out of frustration and can redirect onto his handler if he becomes overly aroused.(St Francis will provide Jack’s adopters with full training and behavioural support.)________________________________________Exercise and LifestyleExercise Requirements: Moderate/HighDaily Exercise Needs: Needs min 2 walks a day. 60 minutes+ of activity/mental stimulation a day.Favourite activities: Sniffing games, tug, training, snuggles!Comfortable in Public Places: Has not had much early socialisation, will need to be built up gradually________________________________________Medical: No issues- has an unusual gait, has been assessed previously by a physiotherapist, who believes it may be related to and old injury but states no cause for concern.Jack is neutered, up to date with vaccination, flea and worm treatment.Jack is a total sweetheart, little in size, but full of personality. He has so much potential and, with the right person, can truly thrive. If you feel you could offer Jack the understanding, time, and stability he needs, please get in touch.

North East Terrier Rescue

Jess is a 5year old Border type. She's looking for a rural, quieter home location with lovely country walks on the doorstep. Secure good sized garden essential. She must be an only pet and with owners that have lots of love, patience and time to dedicate. She can be left reasonable periods but would prefer a home with someone around more often than not. We're not looking to place Jess with children as she enjoys a less hectic quieter life. Jess is house trained and travels well. Just about crate trained. Jess does sleep on the end of her humans bed at night and this has always been so. She's a very affectionate sweet girl once you gain her trust and loves cuddles and fuss. Jess does take a little time to trust fully but is easily won round with a game of ball or tasty treats and from there you're set for life. Jess needs a calm, confident and experienced terrier owner. Jess is a proper adventure dog. She absolutely LOVES being outdoors exploring, hiking, swimming, chasing a ball, chewing a stick. She's fit and active and needs an outdoorsy owner that will enjoy exploring the great outdoors with her. She is the most fabulous, fun and lovely companion. After a nice walk Jess settles fine at home. She loves a natural chew , has a collection of favourite balls that keep her entertained, enjoys snoozing and belly rubs. Jess pulls a little with excitement but is generally good on lead. She doesn't go off lead unless in a secure area. Jess does not like other dogs up in her personal space . She passes other dogs without issue but has no desire to interact and needs an owner that will advocate for her space. Jess is very slowly building up to being handled for care and grooming. This is not something that she was happy with on arrival due to some very bad experiences previously. This will be discussed in more detail with adopters. Jess needs a very kind and patient approach when being handled for such things.
