Jacky

PLEASE NOTE THAT UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE UNABLE TO FLY OUR ANIMALS EITHER WITHIN WA OR INTERSTATE

NAME: Jacky

BEFORE RESCUE: Came to SAFE Esperance from the pound.

BREED: Mixed breed
**************************************************************************
ASSETS: Easy going, affectionate, devoted, eager to please, loyal, friendly, obedient, active, sweet and playful! He hasn’t had the best start in life but still has a ton of love to give. He can be timid around new things so will need gentle reassurance and slow introductions at his own pace, so he realises that the world isn’t a scary place.

FAVOURITE THINGS: Jacky loves to play fetch, play in puddles, chew on bones, chase bugs and butterflies, and be wherever his people are. He’s never happier than when he’s getting attention and will happily follow you around just to be near you. He also loves to play with balls and treat toys.

ENDEARING FEATURES: He’s a very sweet, smart boy with a beautiful, affectionate nature. And he’ll happily take all the cuddles you’re willing to give!

OTHER ANIMALS: Jacky gets on well with other dogs after gentle introductions. He won’t be suited to a home with cats, chickens or other smaller animals as he is overly focused on them and will try to catch.

GENERAL INFO: Jacky walks quietly on his lead and will need some housetraining. He’s a very smart cookie so shouldn’t take long to pick it up once he’s in a routine,but expect some accidents while he’s getting the hang of things! He will bark at strange noises, at strangers or if someone is at the door. As he’s a young dog he’s going through the chewing stage and also digs in the garden. He’s been doing great with command training in his foster home and knows a few commands already. Being the smart cookie he is, further training will be a breeze.

ESSENTIALS for Jacky:

** A loving home with someone who can be with him for a good part of the day or can take him with them when they go out.

** He will need daily exercise, playtime and mental activity. A home that is willing to involve him in daily activities is essential for him.

**Jacky has missed out on the foundation work given to a young pup, so it is essential that his new owners take him to training to broaden his experience and grown his confidence.

** Jacky needs a fenced, secure yard with grass and interesting things to sniff and explore.

**Jacky needs to be allowed inside the home when you are there and to sleep inside at night.

Jacky could live with dog-savvy, gentle older children (over 12) who will be able to read his signals and engage with him on a daily basis. He does tend to jump up in excitement, so will need gentle correction to get out of this habit. At this stage in his development, he would probably prefer to be the only dog in his new home.

If Jacky sounds like the perfect fit for your family, please send an enquiry and we’ll be in touch soon.
