About Jakey
We often open our arms to a special husky that’s had it tough and Jakey is one of those special boys. It’s clear that we also need to find a special human, or household, for him in return.
Jakey is a lovely-looking chap of an estimated 8-10 years of age, with ice-blue eyes and a black and white coat. He’s got many years of companionship to give, and in the seven or so weeks we’ve had him in foster care, he’s truly transformed.
He came to us in quite a state of neglect, and on the surface, he’s enjoyed his new diet, and has recovered beautifully from a flea infestation that gave him bald patches. He’s responded very well to treatment, and today, he looks great.
A bit deeper down, Jakey has been reminded how to play, and our foster carers have been gently re-socialising him with one dog at a time to help him with his anxiety.
He hasn’t been looked after well in the past, but he’s responded so well and with the right loving home and support, we think his anxiety will be a short-term thing as he settles in. For anyone who is interested in making Jakey part of the household, we’ll give you a debrief on the strategies we are using to reduce his anxiety and support you as he comes back out of his shell to be the husky he deserves to be!
Jakey prefers the company of a senior dog around his own age. He loves to be around his hoomans and the more time they have to spend with him day to day the happier and more confident he is, so an inside outside ‘at his leisure’ lifestyle would be great.
Jakey is a senior husky who would adore a quiet, relaxed life. For him, it’s all about the simple pleasures; a gentle stroll every day, a good diet, and a comfy bed would make him very happy indeed.
