It’s been a wonderful six months since we brought Jasper home on New Year’s Eve as an emergency foster for Oldies Club (and fell in love ;)).
Hard to believe that six months ago he’d been taken to the vets to be put down because his owner was seriously ill and the family were unable to keep him.
We love him so much, he has slotted into our family perfectly and I truly believe that he was meant to come here. Some photos from the last six months
In bed on New Year’s Eve, his first evening here, after he had managed to relax a little.
During his first proper walk with us, on New Year’s Day:
We were initially advised not to let him off lead as he didn’t respond to his name, but after a few months of bonding and training and walking him with our other dogs who have great recall, we started letting him off lead. He loves to have a run around and is great at coming back when calledWhen he’s off lead he looks back often to check we’re still there.
He gets on really well with other dogs:
For a Heinz 57 type dog, he makes a great retriever!
He has found a new lease of life
and seems very content with his new family
He works with me to help raise funds and awareness for Oldies Club too, so that we can help other oldies in need. He has his own fundraising page:

Thank you, Jasper, for coming into our lives ♥
