Jake
BronxWe got them both from Dogs Trust. Their previous owners are seperated and are going to sell their house and can not afford to keep them anymore.
It is quite obvious from the photos that Jake and Bronx are not young dogs. Jake is 12 with a breathing problem and is on pills daily and Bronx is 10. They had to find a new home together as they have been friends all their life and cannot live seperately.
I know that when most people decide to adopt a dog they usually look for a little puppy but because we already have the rabbits, we need a mellow dog who wouldn't go chasing them around. J and B fits the bill perfectly and we get the bonus of giving 2 old dogs a home.
Initially I was a little worried that it might be difficult to bond with them because they had lived with someone else for so many years but we didn't have any problems at all. When we brought them home they settled down really quickly and easily. After a few hours it seemed as though they had been here from the very start.
We would both really like to thank Dogs Trust for being so helpful and professional. You really get a sense that they care very much for their dogs and I think we can now really appreciate what they have done with the financial support we have given them through our university years (we used to sponsor a dog called Monica).
If you are considering supporting Dog's Trust, please do. I will write someday in another post how they are helping Jake and us cope with the medical costs for Jake's condition so that he can find a good retirement home.
