🙏🐾 PLEASE SHARE FOR JACK. HE NEEDS A FOSTER OR FOREVER HOME 🏡💗

🏡🐾JACK FOR ADOPTION OR FOSTER IN CORNWALL OR DEVON

Rescue Story:
Well hello there, I’m Jack! Tall, lean, a bit leggy and definitely full of heart. I’m the kind of boy who makes people smile and I’ve been told I’m equal parts sensitive soul and playful goofball. Life hasn’t always been easy for me, but thanks to some very kind humans, I’ve come a long way and I’m finally ready for my next big adventure: a home of my very own.

I was born in Dubai and came to the UK when I was just one year old, full of hope and puppy energy, but no rescue backing me. My first home didn’t go too well… I was crated far too much, misunderstood and honestly just a bit lost. I didn’t know how to say “I’m scared and frustrated” except by nipping now and then… nothing serious, but it was my way of saying “please help me.” Sadly, that was seen as being “naughty”, but I promise I was just confused.

Then I landed in a much nicer home with a lovely Husky friend (we were a great pair!), but they also had a big, bouncy pup who was a little too in-your-face for me. I tried my best, but it just wasn’t the right match.

Thankfully, they loved me enough to ask for help and that’s when Paws2Freedom stepped in. They found me a wonderful kennel where I’ve been learning, decompressing and thriving. I’m enjoying life while I wait for someone amazing (like you?) to scoop me up. Could this be you?

Breed: Saluki x German Shepherd

Size: Medium to large, slim and athletic - think “gazelle with eagerness to learn”

Sex: Male

Age: 3 years (DOB: 15.12.2022)

Neutered: Yes

Vaccinated: Yes

Microchipped: Absolutely

Child friendly:
I’d be best suited to a child-free home, as I need a calm and predictable environment. That said, older, dog-savvy teenagers who understand how to give a sensitive lad like me space and time could be a good fit too.

Dog friendly:
I think I’d really love to be the only dog in my new home as it helps me feel safe and relaxed. But… if you’ve got a calm, well-mannered female dog who’s very respectful and social, we might just hit it off. I’ve lived with other dogs before and I enjoy a good play now and then, as long as things don’t get too chaotic. We’d need a slow introduction to see if the vibe is right.

Cat friendly: Not tested

Livestock/Other animals: Not tested

Temperament / Behaviour / Training needs:
I’m a mix of that classic German Shepherd loyalty and cleverness with the graceful, slightly dramatic flair of a Saluki.
I bond strongly with my people and love learning, especially when treats and praise are involved (I’m not daft, hehe).

I’m a sensitive boy at heart. I like to know I’m safe and that I can trust the people around me. Once I do, I’ll follow you anywhere… tail wagging, eyes bright, goofy grin on full display. I can be a bit shy with new people, but I come around quickly with gentle introductions and kindness.

I’ve come a really long way. The amazing people here listen and help me when I say “I’m not sure about this.” Which makes all the difference and I feel that they can be trusted to keep me safe and not rush me.
I can still be a little cautious in new situations, especially if a person or another dog comes up to me too quickly. I might give a bark just to let my human know I’m not quite sure about things yet. What really helps me is having a calm, confident person I can trust. When my human steps in to protect/reassure me and handle the situation, I relax straight away and let them take over. I’m getting better and better at this all the time, and these moments are already happening much less often as my confidence grows.

Oh and guess what? I had a big day out! I went on a long car journey to Paws2Freedom’s vet for a full health check. I was super well-behaved (even got called a “star passenger”) and I was so chilled at the vet’s and only a bit nervous when they took my bloods that day.
Afterwards we shared pizza which was a real treat for me. It was a great day and the P2F crew said they absolutely loved spending time with me. I loved it too.

Training & Support:
I’ve got good lead manners, I enjoy training and I really try my best. I’d do great with ongoing positive reinforcement and some gentle, but consistent guidance in my new home.

If you’ve got rescue dog experience that would be fab, but don’t worry if you’re not an expert, but realistic and willing to learn! My trainer is offering free support to help you settle me in and continue the great work we’ve already started.

House trained: Yep! (in previous homes)

Health:
Fit, healthy, vaccinated, neutered, microchipped… and my Brucella test is clear too. Bonus!

Ideal Home:
So what am I dreaming of? A cosy home with kind humans who’ll love me for who I am - lanky legs, big heart, goofy moments and all! Someone who doesn’t expect a perfect dog, but embraces my insecurities and helps me gain more confidence in new situations.

I’d really love to be your one-and-only, your best mate, shadow, snuggle buddy and adventure pal. But… if you’ve got a calm, polite lady dog who knows how to give a gent like me some space, we could possibly be a good match (with slow intros of course).

A secure garden would be my dream for zoomies and lounging, and peaceful walks in the countryside are totally my vibe. I have never been to the beach, but really curious about that.

I’d like someone who understands that it might take me a little time to settle, but once I do, I’ll give you my whole heart.

No little kids, but kind, dog-savvy older teens could be great. I’ve done really well here at the kennels and now I just need someone to help me finish the next chapter: home life.

Current Location: Devon, UK (kennels)

Could you be the one I’ve been waiting for?
I’ve had a rough start, but I know there’s someone out there who’ll see me for who I really am - a gentle, goofy, loyal lad who just needs a chance.
Whether you’d like to foster me or offer me a forever home, I’m ready to give you my whole heart.

🐾🏠 HI, I’M NORA - I’M LOOKING FOR MY FOREVER HOME IN CORNWALL OR DEVON

Hello lovely human ♥
My name is Nora and I’m hoping with all my heart that someone out there is looking for a girl just like me…I’ve been in foster for three whole months now. THREE. And guess what? Nobody has chosen me yet.I don’t quite understand it. My sister Nelly is already living her best life in Cornwall, and my foster sister Rosie is also off enjoying the good life in her new home… but me? Still waiting… Which is confusing, because I’m actually a pretty great dog. I’m super friendly with people and dogs, I love cats (yes, really!) and I’m bursting with youthful energy and enthusiasm for life.

Rescue story:

My sister Nelly and I were found as tiny puppies, alone, freezing cold and starving. Our mum never came back and we were very weak when help finally arrived.

We were taken to safety and given warmth, food and care to help us survive. We were so cold, hungry and scared. We made it! And Paws2Freedom with the dedicated help of Bojan the shelter owner who drove a loooong way to the special place, we were moved us to a calm boarding home where we could recover from everything we’d been through.

I’m now in the UK - safe, loved and learning how to be a confident young dog, I just need the chance to continue that journey in a forever home.

Name:
Nora (that’s me! 🐶)

Breed:
I’m a mixed breed, and definitely a hound mix! If my sister’s DNA test is anything to go by, I’m part Segugio Italiano mixed with lots of other exciting things... herding breeds, Middle Eastern breeds and a splash of terrier. Basically… I am very interesting, very fun and very clever. 😎

Size:
Small–medium (approx. 40cm at the shoulder)

Sex:
Female

Age:
1 year (born 01.09.2024)

Neutered:
Yes

Vaccinated:
Yes

Microchipped:
Yes

Child friendly:
Children 6+ who are kind, gentle and respectful

Dog friendly:
Yes – I love other dogs! I would really enjoy living with another dog who can cope with my high energy and zest for play. I’m very playful and can be full-on, so my doggy companion would need to enjoy interaction and rough-and-tumble fun.

Cat friendly:
Yes – I’ve shown no issues with cats while I was in Bosnia and when I met a cat in home here in the UK, when I visited for an afternoon, all I did was wag my tail at the elegant feline.

I would love a home with direct access to a good-sized garden where I can zoom around and play between walks.

And just so you know… I’m also a great size. Not really small, but not big either. Think a large Whippet with long legs, elegant, sporty and perfect for adventures. 🐾

I’m learning lots of things in foster. I sleep in my crate at night (I’m being very good about it), although if it were up to me I would prefer to be close to my humans all the time. I’ve even been left alone once so far and the camera caught me being very sensible, happily chewing my special treat bone for the two hours I was by myself.

I also love travelling in my foster parents’ camper van. When it’s time to go I happily jump straight into my travel crate because it usually means an adventure is coming! 🚐🐾

I can be a little timid in new situations, but I really do try to be brave and give everything a go. I’ve been having lots of adventures lately. I went to the river and met some geese. They quacked at me very loudly and I may have briefly scared myself… but I tried to pretend I was very brave. 😅
Then I went to the beach for the very first time! I was much braver there and even splashed through the water, which is pretty amazing for a first visit 🌊🐾

One of my favourite places is the woods. I love sniffing all the amazing smells and keeping a very careful eye out for squirrels 🐿️ I’m still learning though and I’ll need continued training so my recall becomes more reliable before I can be trusted off lead everywhere.

I also love joining my foster parents on social visits to the local dog-friendly pub. I get to meet lots of dogs and people of all ages and I’m always very happy to say hello. Lots of attention? Yes please!🐶

With other dogs, I can sometimes be a bit over-enthusiastic when I want to play. A few dogs have told me “NO” when I got a bit too excited and I listen and back off without making a fuss. I’m still young and learning my manners, but I really do try.

Really though, I’m the sort of girl who loves being part of family life, so a home where someone is around most of the time would be perfect for me.

I love children, but older ones who are used to dogs are a better fit for me.

I would love a doggy companion with the same zest for life and play as me… but I could also live as an only dog in the right home. In fact, I’m currently practising being an only dog in my foster home and doing very well. I just need a lot of interaction and play so that I don’t get bored. I also like to entertain myself by running around like a loon in the garden or chewing my favourite chew or Kong.

So here I am… a friendly, funny and adventurous young dog, still waiting for my people.
Maybe they just haven’t found me yet.
