Are you right for Jed?

Jed is an eleven-year-old Jack Russell Terrier, a senior gent looking for a loving home. He shares his foster home brilliantly with another canine and would enjoy finding a new home with another dog. He has no history living with cats, he may chase small furries and has not been around livestock. Jed could share his home with secondary school aged children. He is housetrained. He travels well in the car. Jed has been used to rural life in the countryside and is not accustomed to walks around traffic, in his foster home he has been experiencing street walks, but it’s not his favourite location. Jed is worried by loud noises such as bangs, gun shots and heavy vehicle noise. Jed may take a few days to settle and find his paws in a new location, but when he does, you’ll be rewarded with a loyal companion.

Is Jed right for you?

Jed is a sweet lad, shy initially, and with a gentle, slow approach, Jed will choose to come over to you when he is ready. Like a lot of Terriers, Jed is a mix of independent and affection. He adores your company, to know that you are about, but does not need to be stuck to you like Velcro. Jed is often happy to chill out in your presence, potter about the garden with you, or lay stretched out in the same room as you. Jed will initiate a fuss and affection when he is ready and during that time, he adores having his very soft ears stroked. His favourite place to lounge about in the evenings is the top of the sofa. Jed sometimes enjoys a game of fetch with you, he likes squeaky toys, and he is quite fussy with his treats. Jed loves to go for walks on his long line in the countryside, grassy areas with lots of sniffs. He will happily meet and greet other dogs when he sees them.

How our rehoming process works

1
Create an account and fill out our application form
In our form you can tell us all about your home, your lifestyle and the kind of dogs you’re interested in. You won’t be applying for a specific dog, but you can add favourites to give us an idea of the dogs you like. We’ll use this information to find a great match for you.

Choose a rehoming centre
We’ll also ask you to select a rehoming centre. The team at this centre will look after your application and assess you against all suitable dogs in their care. This doesn’t have to be your nearest centre, but you will need to travel there within a few days once we’ve found...

We’ll review your application
We’ll review your application against the dogs in our care at your chosen centre. If we think we have the right dog for you, we’ll be in touch as soon as possible. If we don’t hear back from you, we will close your application for now, and you can reapply when you’re ready.

We’ll keep your application open for three months and keep looking for a match
If we don’t have a dog for you right now, we’ll keep your application open for three months and keep you in mind for any new dogs that arrive. If within this time you see another dog you are interested in, you won't need to apply again but you can amend your application by...

If we’ve found a dog who seems right for you, we’ll invite you to come and meet them at the rehoming centre.
Some of the dogs in our care will need to meet potential owners several times to get to know one another. This lets us see you’re compatible and gives you the chance to build a bond before making a commitment to give them a new home. By taking some time at the beginning to make sure everyone’s comfortable, an adoption is more likely to be successful.
We may also arrange a home visit with you, to see how your house will be set up and check that the garden (if you have one) is secure. This may not be necessary, though, especially if you’ve adopted from us before. Where you already have dogs, we may accept a reference from your vet as an alternative.

If we haven’t found the right match, we’ll continue the search together
If we haven’t found the right dog for you within three months, we’ll let you know your application is closed. We’ll invite you to apply again so we have up-to-date information about you, and we’ll keep looking.

We’ll support you to embark on a new life with your dog
When we’ve matched you with a dog, we’ll help you welcome them to your home. After adoption we’ll keep in touch to see how you and the dog are doing. If you need any advice or support, we’re just a phone call away.
