Easter resembles new life, and what better way to celebrate than over our sweet boy Dexter, who after 2 years at Just For Dogs has finally found his, what we hope, forever home💙.

This special boy has left a huge hole in all of our hearts here, but we wouldn’t change it for the world. We’re so happy to see him so comfortable already.

A huge thank you to his adopters that have dedicated their time to visit Dexter over the past few weeks, especially coming from such a distance up in Scotland.

Let’s all join in sharing Dexters story, please like, share and comment and wish them the best of luck in Dexters journey 🤞🏼

We’re not crying.. you are!🥺

Adoption News

Ziva's Post

Hi. It's Ziva here! Yesterday was my adoption day and I got to go to my forever home with my new mum and dad. So much has happened in such a short space of time. Everything here is strange for me but I was encouraged to sniff and smell everything in the house and garden and given lots of fuss and encouragement. I haven't slept on my new bed, I prefer the sofa snuggled up next to mum. When it was bed time, I was allowed to stay on the sofa. I've seen mum and dad go up the stairs but I haven't quite figured them out for myself yet. I was so tired, I didn't wake up until mum came down at 7. Today, I went on a walk in the nearby fields. Oh the joy of walking on grass and being able to sniff everything! Then it was off to Trusty Pets to be fitted with a smart new harness. They made a proper fuss of me there! I saw mum buy some food and treats when she thought I wasn't looking! After that I went to the vets to be registered with their Wellness Plan. I had to sit on some scales so they could see how heavy I am. I wasn't too keen on that - no lady likes to be weighed, does she? Anyway, apparently I'm 25 kgs.

This afternoon I've been helping in the garden. I quite like walking over mum and dad's plants, especially the pretty coloured ones. I've got two balls but I don't like them yet. I'm not keen on any toys to be honest. I think it's because I've never had any before. There are a couple that make funny noises and they're quite interesting.

I'm learning English. I understand my name, sit and good girl. I like being called a good girl because it means I get a treat and lots of fuss. I love my food and I eat it up very quickly.

I hope all my doggy friends are doing well.

Lots of love, Ziva xx

Huge thanks to the lovely Evie Gee for volunteering at Just for Dogs.

We would also like to massively thank Evie and the year 7 pathways students at Broomfield College, for their fundraising efforts resulting in a fabulous total of £105 raised!! Grateful also to be nominated to be recipients of these funds. ❤️

Individual fund raising donations such as these are always greatly appreciated by our humble self funding little charity. They help us more than followers will ever know!!

Well done & thank you 🙏🐶

💙APPEAL FOR KOBA💙 PLEASE SHARE!

We have been asked to help this poor boy from being PTS. Surely there is someone out there for this handsome boy!

Meet KOBA… Koba is a very inquisitive, boisterous, loving and playful Staffy cross. Sadly his human is moving across the world and unfortunately can’t take Koba with him.

He is fantastic in the house, loves to play fetch, tug of war and have cuddles on the sofa.

Koba is dog reactive, this is mainly due to him being attacked by another dog off lead whilst out on a walk. This has caused him to be anxious whilst out on walks, he will stop and stare. He does react towards male dogs and will lunge and bark.

He will lunge towards female dogs but this is more excitement due to wanting to play.

He has been introduced on the lead to 4 separate females and has been very excitable but calmed down and enjoyed their walks together.

He is very boisterous around visitors and gets very excited to see them but he does calm down and will then want to spend hours on their lap being fussed.

Koba is house trained and is left alone for long periods of time whilst at work. He is very good in the car and loves an adventure.

Koba doesn’t mix with other animals as he will chase them and is only let off lead in an enclosed field. Where it is safe for him to be let off.

Koba hasn’t been introduced to any children but a household with dog savvy children over the age of 16 that can handle him jumping up would be fine.

Koba has the run of downstairs and he sleeps either on the sofa or on his bed in the kitchen.

He loves his walks and being out in the woods or playing fetch with his favourite squeaky tennis balls!

Is there anybody out there that would love this loyal, affectionate adventure buddy? He is 4 years old, neutered and up to date with his vaccinations. He has lots of love to give and with the right focus on his training, could easily work with his reactivity💙

Now then Olivia, once WE have completed your adoption paperwork, you’ll be off to your amazing new home. I’d like to think you will be the best girl we know you can be, as we don’t want to see you returned, hanging your head in shame with your tail between your legs.

Go live your best life sweetheart, you so deserve this ❤️

💛HAPPY FRIDAY UPDATE💛

‘Two weeks in and despite a few ‘minor’ mishaps (mainly involving shoes I’ve forgotten to put away) Ziggy has been a dream.

He gets masses of attention on walks/in the pub and he absolutely loves it.

It feels like I won the doggo lottery 🥰’

An adopted JFD dog, living the dream. It just warms our hearts ♥️

🚨APPEAL FOR IDA🚨

This darling girl is now officially looking for her 5th and FINAL home💔

Ida is a 3 year old mixed breed with a heart of gold. This precious girl is in search of a loving family home that has the time and patience to work on her lead training.

Ida needs to be the only pet in the home as she prefers all the attention to herself. She is incredibly loving and affectionate and can live with robust dog-savvy children over the age of 6.

Ida has great recall and is fully house trained. She would prefer someone that is home fairly often and not left for long periods of time.

She has an adventurous soul with an active personality - a quieter area to live would be more ideal for her to spend her days exploring with her family🩷

Ida would benefit from a home that has experience in handling reactive dogs. Ida will easily overcome her fears of the world with time and dedication to her training. She is very keen to learn and with the right leadership she will thrive!

Please help us find this lovely girl her FINAL and forever home🙏🏼 SHARE for Ida!
