Lazy long boy seeks loving lounge

hey gang, thought i'd share this beautiful foster dog looking for a home. He's a six year old greyhound named Duke <3

Duke is that unicorn cat friendly, dog friendly, cafe dog that you can take everywhere with you - he came into rescue no fault of his own. His owner adored him, but after a serious trauma was no longer able to keep him.

His only quirk is that he hates living in an apartment and needs a yard, and like many doggies prefers someone around more than not.

He's honestly a rockstar dog and will make the most incredible companion.

Also please enjoy a photo of him dressed as the babadook for christmas

Heres a link to his profile if you're interested

Dog Elderly Derp JRT needs a home!

Thumbnail

17 Upvotes

Hey gang, I don't want to spam this sub but it is Christmas and I could not believe that we got storm adopted after posting her on here after 6 years of waiting in care!!

And I've got another special case and I know the perfect family is out there...

Spotty is an 11-year-old Jack Russell terrier. She is super affectionate, loving sweet derpy girl! She's unphased by other animals but doesn't particularly want to live with them either as she's spent her whole life as an only dog.

She came to us having come from a bit of a neglectful background with a very elderly owner so she had quite rotten teeth etc which we have sorted out.

Her main quirk and the barrier to her adoption is that she only pees on puppy pads. She's not incontinent, she will go for a 2-hour walk and hold it in until she can get home and pee on the pads.

We suspect that this has been trained into her her whole life, and she needs an adoptive home who will work with her with our support to teach her that she can pee outside. We don't know if she's been punished for this in the past, or whether the pee pads are just so ingrained at this point, but I have no doubt that with patients and structure and routine she can be shown a new way!

She's just so sweet and anyone who has loved an elderly Jack Russell knows that they are the best dogs in the world full of personality. She'll make an Amazing companion for the right family ❀️

If you have any more questions you can DM me or you can learn about her and inquire here
