About NISBTR

Northern Ireland Staffordshire Bull Terrier Rescue (NISBTR), established in August 2012, is a registered charity (NIC101909) dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and rehoming unwanted, abandoned and abused Staffordshire Bull Terriers across Northern Ireland. Run by a small team of passionate volunteers, it was the first and remains the only breed-specific SBT rescue in Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. Alongside hands-on rescue work, NISBTR raises awareness about irresponsible overbreeding and challenges negative stereotypes surrounding the breed. The charity also actively promotes responsible dog ownership while providing vital support to Staffies in urgent need.

Jasper

Northern Ireland
SexMale
Age5 years
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

Jasper is almost 5 years of age and was born completely deaf. His hearing impairment has never impacted him negatively and he lives a very full and happy life every single day. He responds to commands with simple hand signals and was a complete joy to train from birth.Jasper is truly one of the most loving, tactile dogs known to us. His greatest love in life is to be cuddled up next to people. Whilst he thoroughly enjoys his walks, Jasper can be a bit of a couch potato and just two 30 minutes walk is all he needs to keep him happy and healthy. His energy level is low to medium and he walks very well on the lead. Pottering around the house and lazing around on the sofa are his favourite pastimes, especially if he has human company. It may be because of his deafness that being close to people is very comforting and reassuring to him. Jasper has an abundance of love to give and is a very calm, polite dog.Jasper would be suitable to be rehomed with another dog who also has a similar relaxed personality to his own and one that will allow him to have his regular naps during the day.Jasper travels well in the car, sleeps very well at night and is fully trained.Jasper would be suitable for a family with children aged 8 years and above.Jasper's ideal family would have someone at home for the best part of the day, although he can be left for reasonable periods of time without becoming stressed and has never been destructive. He is looking for a family that can give him endless love and cuddles.PLEASE NOTE: Jasper has lived all his life in harmony with Jemima who is also available for adoption on our page. We would love the two to be rehomed as a couple but it is not a requirement for applying to adopt just him because he would also thrive as an only dog.

Jemima

Northern Ireland
SexFemale
Age7 years
BreedStaffordshire Bull Terrier

7 year young Jemima is a truly beautiful Stafford and one of the gentlest souls you ever could meet. When she first came into our care she was very shy and slightly anxious but soon overcame her timidness and blossomed into the happiest, most confident and relaxed dog. Jemina, like all Staffords, loves human company but is that wonderful combination of totally loving and also independent. She is completely comfortable in her own company and can be left for reasonable amounts of time on her own without in any way becoming stressed.Her level of training is quite high and she has always proved to be a very well-behaved and well-mannered dog. She is a medium energy dog who is quite happy with two half hour walks per day but also has the energy and enthusiasm to walk for much longer, so she would suit a family that on occasions would love to take their dog on an extended walk or hike. Jemina walks beautifully on the lead and could be easily walked by most individuals.Jemima's most definite 'likes' are walking and tummy rubs. She enjoys an occasional chew toy but is just as happy looking out of the window and watching the world go by. She is a smart cookie, learns very quickly and is always eager to please.Jemina travels well in the car, sleeps very well at night and is fully housetrained.Jemima would be suitable for a family with children aged 8 years and above.Jemima would be suitable to be rehomed with another, comparable energy dog who also has a similar laid-back personality to her own.For a family that is looking to adopt an all-round excellent Stafford who is well-balanced, calm, sensible and mature, Jemima would be a perfect match. She has no issues whatsoever that would need to be dealt with and is a most delightful little dog.PLEASE NOTE: Jemina has lived in harmony with Jasper who is also available for adoption on our page for five years. We would love the two to be rehomed as a couple but it is not a requirement for applying to adopt just her because she would also thrive as an only dog.
