Jude

Mixed Breed · Male · Puppy · 9 months

Hi, I’m Jude, a 9-month-old Labrador x Deerhound. I didn’t have the best start in life, and when I first arrived at Jerry Green, I found the world a pretty scary place. I was shut down and often didn’t want to leave my kennel because everything felt overwhelming. The team here gave me all the time, patience and reassurance I needed, and little by little I’ve started to realise that the world isn’t such a scary place after all. They tell me I’m really starting to come out of my shell and show more of my personality! These days, I love heading out to the fields for a run, having a good sniff around and exploring everything I can. One of my favourite things in the whole world is soft toys! Somehow, I always seem to find one when I’m out and about, and I love being able to choose my own toy from the toy box. I’m still learning about the world and building my confidence every day, but I’m making great progress. One thing I haven’t quite worked out yet is how big I am! Once we’re friends, I might even try to sit on your lap for a cuddle. Because I can be a little shy around new people, I’ll need a family who is happy to take things at my pace. We’ll start with a few meets at the centre so we can get to know each other and build a bond, followed by some visits to your home so I can become familiar with my new surroundings. Don’t worry though, the team will guide you through the whole process and tell you all about how wonderful I am. A secure garden where I can safely explore and play. Someone who can keep leaving hours low while I settle in. A home within approximately an hour of the centre to support my introductions and any ongoing support I may need. Patient and understanding adopters who are happy to continue building my confidence and helping me navigate the world. If you’re looking for a sweet, gentle young dog who is learning to trust, have fun and enjoy life, I might just be the perfect match for you. 🐾❤️
