Meet Jack!
We’re on the search for an experienced foster home for Jack, a 5 year old JRT X with some trust issues.
Jack was a very happy boy until he suffered a traumatic experience at the vets during Covid times, which has left him feeling anxious around his male owner. He is always wonderful and affectionate with his female owner as well as all visitors, including children, but we are looking for a patient and compassionate fosterer, who can give him the time and space to settle and feel less anxious before we start the search for his forever home.
Our behaviourist describes Jack as a “busy boy, who needs an outlet for his clever brain”. He will thrive on enrichment activities, with plenty of healthy stimulation, positive experiences and reward-based training.
We are looking for a child free foster home whilst we continue to assess Jack’s needs, and his fosterer will have support from our behaviourist. You will therefore need to live within driving distance of our kennels in Buntingford. Jack isn’t cat or small-furry friendly, but he could potentially live with a calm dog who would understand his boundaries.
Do you have experience with rescue dogs and you think you might be able to help Jack to find his happy ever after? Please get in touch.

ADOPTION PROCESS
We have a number of animals in our care. Most are homeless through no fault of their own and are looking for furever homes and owners who can give them the love and attention they deserve.
Please take a few moments to familiarise yourself with our adoption process:
Step 1:
The animal is admitted into our care, and assessed by our team.
Step 2:
The animal is examined by a vet, who treats any ailments or injuries.
Step 3:
The appropriate team leader will liaise with the potential adopter to get to know them and assess whether they are a potential purr-fect match.
Step 4:
The potential new owners meet the animal, and decide if they want to adopt. New owners may be asked to visit the animal several times before the adoption takes place.
Step 5:
A pre-adoption home visit will then be made to new owners home to meet the members of the household and to ensure that the environment is safe.
Step 6:
If the visit goes well, you will be asked to collect the animal and to make an adoption donation (amount on request) as well as to sign an agreement to care for the pet with a commitment to return them to us if you can't continue to do so.
