About Paws Help

Paws Help is a fully established, foster-based dog rescue run entirely by dedicated volunteers across England. With no kennels or shelters, all UK dogs are cared for in family foster homes, while dogs arriving from abroad are placed directly into forever homes or foster care for further assessment. The charity rescues abandoned and surrendered dogs, ensuring they receive full veterinary treatment, vaccinations, and neutering where appropriate before rehoming. Funded solely through adoption fees and public donations, every penny goes directly toward helping dogs in need, with lifelong rescue back-up and post-adoption support provided to adopters. Guided by compassion and inclusivity, Paws Help is committed to giving every dog—regardless of age, health, or history—the chance of a safe, loving forever home.

Dodger

Staffordshire
SexMale
Age5 years
BreedJack Russell Terrier

Dodger does not have time.His family stepped in to save him when an ex-partner planned to dump him on the streets. But they live in a private rented property where pets are not allowed, and they are now risking losing their tenancy. He cannot stay. Foster is needed urgently.Dodger is a 7,5 year-old Jack Russell (or cross) small in size, who has been with his family since he was a puppy. This is not a behaviour issue. This is purely housing. Highlights* SIZE: Small* SPAYED/NEUTERED: Yes* CHARACTER: Sweet • Loving • Playful • Social* DOGS: best as the only dog, not comfortable around other dogs* CATS: Unknown* CHILDREN: Lives with 4 children, very good with them* HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes Surrender StoryDodger was nearly abandoned once. His current family took him back to prevent that from happening. Now, because of strict rental rules, they are being forced into an impossible situation. They are not giving him up lightly. They are trying to keep a roof over their children’s heads. More About DodgerDodger is a generally loving, well-mannered little dog. He lives with 2 adults and 4 children and gets on well with everyone. He sleeps in the living room and is fully house-trained.He LOVES his toys. Throw his ball and he’ll fetch it back proudly, nudging it with his nose for another go. He understands commands like sit, up, no and responds well.On walks he is good with people. He can bark at other dogs, but not aggressively — just vocal in a typical small-dog way. He will need time to build trust with a new person before being allowed off-lead, which is completely normal. What He NeedsDodger needs a safe foster home immediately. He does not deserve to lose everything because of housing rules.He would suit many homes — he is used to children and family life — but equally could thrive in a quieter adult home, where he will be the only dog at home. He is small. He is loving. He is not a problem dog. He just needs somewhere safe to land. Health InformationNeutered. No known medical conditions according to his owner.

He initially looked to the resident husky for reassurance and learned from her, and a confident canine companion would continue to support his development.He is also making great progress with the cat in the home — now able to stay calm and respectful, showing how quickly he learns with guidance. He may still bark when unsure, for example at unfamiliar sounds or movement outside, but this is already improving as his confidence grows.
