Adoptera Jack

Meet our Poodle Jack! Jack arrived at Battersea with six of his siblings from another rescue. Unfortunately, we have no information about their previous history. Jack, like all of his siblings, has found the move to our busy London site quite challenging especially in those first few days. Jack is worried lad, lacking in experience with the outside world. He is currently kennelled with two of his siblings which he may be placed. Jack has been quite worried outside, trembles in our paddocks but has slowly been building in confidence and exploring a little more as the days go on. Like all of his siblings Jack is struggling with walking on lead and is currently carried in and out of his kennel for outside time. To aid with this we are carrier associating them. Jack has been able to make friends over time with his bonded handlers and will settle onto their laps and accept a fuss. We have been utilising this to help us being able to pick them up when they are more comfortable on our laps. Though to reiterate, this has taken some time to get to this stage and can still be very unsure. Jack is looking for a dedicated family who are happy to commit the time needed to help him settle into a new environment and build his confidence. He would suit owners with some previous experience of anxious dogs who are confident in reading dog body language and advocating for his needs. For these reasons, he is also looking for a home with a private garden and a quiet location.
