Saturday was my first time walking Jacqui, Gareth joined us on our walk as Jacqui loves him - especially when he has treats! She was easy to harness and we were ready to go. She walks with slack leads and looks at you regularly for reassurance. I really enjoyed my time with her and look forward to spending time with her again.

Gareth and I enjoyed our weekly walk with Jacqui today. We usually walk her together as we both love her and love to get cuddles! Today we decided to walk her with another dog, Joanne, and she definitely struggled not having both of our attention! She walks along side other dogs so beautifully though and her confidence has come on so well.

When we came back to the rescue after our walk, we put Joanne back in her kennel and both spent a bit of time with Jacqui. As you can see she LOVES a cuddle! Jacqui lifted all 4 paws off the ground to sit on Gareth’s lap! She is the most affectionate girl and her future family will be so lucky to have her. It’s safe to say we’ve both fallen in love with her and if we could take her home with us, we would in a heartbeat.

Today I got to walk Jacqui again, she was quite nervous when I was in her kennel so took a while for me to get her harness on. She was also reluctant to walk but she doesn’t know me that well, we followed Leanne who was walking Bleu and she was happier. At one point she wanted to go in another direction so we walked by ourselves and she seemed more relaxed. Hopefully she will get to know me more and be more comfortable with me but it would be great for her to find her own home!

I’ve been trying to gain Jacqui’s trust slowly over a few sessions, and yesterday I think we made real progress! She’s usually very timid and unsure once out of her kennel, and often doesn’t want to walk and will lie down, so I have been taking it very slow with her. Yesterday I managed to get her to the woodland paddock and again just took it very slow, lots of cuddles and sniffing at first. Then I did a few little games I do with my nervous dog to get her confidence up and it worked a dream, I saw a completely different side to her, she was so happy and playful and silly, it was so lovely to see this side of her, I was so proud of her, and we both had loads of fun together.
I just know once she’s in a home of her own it will be such a joy to watch her come out of her shell, to overcome her fears and watch her character blossom. She is just the sweetest girl ever, so gentle and affectionate and loving, and obviously SO beautiful. I can’t wait to bond with her more, it was so rewarding watching her gain confidence and just let loose and have fun!

We took Jacqui to a local secure field recently where she had the best time running around and playing with her ball. It’s the first time us taking her out in the car since we fostered her for a few days and she was still reluctant to get in! We still had to both lift her up and put her in but she doesn’t resist.

Jacqui loves being out in the open field, running around and taking in all the new smells. She loves to run off and explore but always comes back to find us and have some cuddles. She loves to play with you, especially if you chase her! We love spending time every week with lovely Jacqui

I haven’t been able to walk Jacqui for a couple of weeks, she’s understandably very popular with the walkers. The last time I got her out we had some quality time in the paddock and I truly saw the depth of affection she can give you when she trusts you.
Today I managed to get her to go on a long walk with me, after plenty of kennel cuddles, and she was an absolute dream. She walked really well, the whole time with slack leads. We stopped several times for cuddles, then carried on with our walk. We saw a few other dogs en route and she didn’t seem phased by any of them. Thank you Jacqui - you made my day!

Jacqui enjoying some sunshine and cuddles today. As usual she was a dream to walk and just gives the best cuddles. We’d love to see her in her forever home for christmas
