Bora Jack Russell Parsons Terrier

Bora is an immediately adorable little dog who is now fostered in North London. She slowly comes out of her shell when she gets to know you, but is very shy.

Due to her long legs, incredible ears, with big eyes (as if she wears eyeliner), Bora is stunning, and unique.

She is a very calm dog who could live with another calm dog. Lately she has taken to mouthy play with her foster sister who is a female fox terrier of the same age, but she doesn’t like it too boisterous.

She walks very well on the lead and is somehow house trained, learning to sit, but needs time and reassurance to adjust to her life in the Capital. Loves being near you, on your lap or curled up next to you on the sofa.

In the local park a dog owner called her ‘the supermodel of Jack Russells’ – we think she is super indeed and will make a family whole.

Bora came to us from the South of Spain, Dejan Huella a small rescue we collaborate with asked us if we could take her on. She used to be kept on a finca (countryside acreage) where she was only fed a couple of times a week. She had two puppies, and in desperation she killed and ate one of the chickens she was meant to be guarding. The owner discovered this and decided to get rid of her and the puppies. She could have been shot, thankfully the son brought her and the puppies to a local rescue and the two puppies were adopted. Bora stayed on and Dejan Huella asked us if we could help.

Bora has low level leishmania, a tropical non-contagious disease transmitted to dogs by a tiny sandfly in Mediterranean countries. Leishmaniasis cannot currently be cured, but can be treated. A dog with leishmaniasis can live a happy and healthy life for many years. The usual treatment is with Alopurinol tablets, which are cheap and readily available as they are used for treatment of gout in humans. The sooner the condition is diagnosed, the more successful the treatment is. In Bora’s case the disease was diagnosed in time and thankfully the treatment is working for her and she can lead a normal life. We would pay for the 1st 6 months of treatment after adoption and we really hope it won’t stop people giving her a chance.

Children: 10+ – no small furries

Vaccinated, chipped & neutered.

Carol – fox terrier jack russell mix

Carol has been adopted by her foster family, whist we’re always sorry to lose a foster, we’re very happy for Carol and wish her and her family the best.

This little girl is called Carol, a Jack Russell/Wire terrier cross, abandoned at the perrera with her two puppies. She did have a microchip. The owner was contacted, but said she gave the dog away and wants nothing more to do with her…so in the perrera she went with her puppies. Sadly one puppy has died, the other has gone into another rescue. But Carol did not stand a chance and so we agreed to save her. She is now with the foster family in Greater London.

Described as very terrier like and absolutely needs her new home to have no small furry pets. Other dog friendly and needs cuddles/reassurance in abundance. She has had an extremely tough start in life, with various problems in kennels, but remains strong and loving. A true testament to the tenacious terrier. Born in 2012, she is a very young girl.

The wonderful Tony has now been adopted, lucky family!

This adorable terrier cross is Tony, another stray dumped on the streets of Spain without a second thought. Thought to be around 2 and a half years old. He ended up in the perrera and his days became numbered. Very sweet in nature, he is now in foster in Lincolnshire, after spending some time in kennels in Spain.

His foster mum says: “TONY such a baby really but day 2 he is coming to me to let me know he needs to go out to spend a penny and day 3 off lead and coming back when called. He is booked into the groomers on the 13th to see if she can tame his unruly hair! He needs to put a few pounds on as well ,but he is a star.”

We are seeking an adoptive home for Tony. If you are interested in this dog please apply by filling in the rehoming questionnaire on this website and send to stated email address, in the first instance.

Reina

Reina is a lovely Fox Cross, currently in foster in UK, having come from the killing station in Murcia. We were only shown a photo of a tiny wirey head stuck between two large pointer type dogs. Like so many, her days were numbered and the likelihood she would ever come out alive was nil. So again, what could we do? We said please take her out of that place! So one of our volunteers did just that! She is lovely – approx 10 kilos, very fun and playful. Dog and people friendly – she will be the best companion you have ever known. All our dogs are a privilege to own – and she is no exception – she is a sweetie!
