News of Rescue Jerry

You will see our friend Jerry the Rescue on the front page of the website looking happy and relaxed at home with Amanda his new owner.

Amanda writes, I thought you might like to know that Jerry's relaxed attitude has helped two children in the past 2 days overcome their fear of dogs. My daughter's friend yesterday, who came to play for the afternoon and who initially wouldn't even go from one room to the other if it meant passing him, ended getting her confidence up so much that I had to discourage her from constantly hanging around his neck and harassing him and she gave him his tea. Again this afternoon, a 2 year old who was hysterical at the sight of a dog in the distance on our walk, was seen going up to him and saying goodbye when he left us some 3 hours later. Amazing, our lovely Jerry - I think he certainly has a career as a "calmer of fear". To balance this, I should say that we have had to get a stair gate as he does prefer the beds when we are out - of course when we are here, butter wouldn't melt....!

Thank you for keeping in touch Amanda and we are always pleased to hear news of Jerry and of course delighted that he proving to be a great ambassador for the breed.
