🌟 Heartfelt Thanks to Our Anonymous Supporter 🌟

To our remarkable friend, who prefers the quiet of anonymity but whose generosity echoes loudly in our hearts—this message is for you.

I know you might not seek recognition, and my heart is too full not to share just a glimpse of our gratitude. “Thank you” sometimes feels too small, too simple, to truly capture the gratitude we feel. Your constant support, given without asking for anything in return, has been a lifeline.

Each act of kindness you’ve given, from unexpected donations to quiet gestures, fills our mission with light. You remind us every day that true generosity doesn’t need a spotlight—it simply radiates, quietly but powerfully, where it’s needed most.

We may never know how to truly repay you, but please know that you’ve made a forever impact on our lives and the lives of the dogs in our care. Thank you for being our guiding star. 💫🐾

With all our hearts, thank you.

🐾 Meet Annabella, Trixi, Bobby, and Zeus – Ready for New Beginnings! 🐾

We’re reaching out for some very special friends who need loving homes:

Annabella 🐶 is an 11-year-old Yorkie, gentle and loving, who deserves a cozy place to call home. Sadly, her owner no longer wants her, choosing to keep two new puppies instead. Annabella would love a family that appreciates her golden years.

Trixi & Bobby 🐾🐾 are a bonded pair, a 4-year-old brown-and-white female and a black-and-white male. They have been each other’s best friends and would like to stay together if possible. Their owner has to move and, heartbreakingly, cannot take them along.

Zeus 🐕 is a 2-year-old Great Dane, who’s great with most dogs and children. Unknown with cats, but this gentle giant will add love and loyalty to any home. He was left behind when his owner moved, but he’s ready for a fresh start.

Please share this post to help them find a forever family that will cherish them as they deserve! 🏡

✨ Heartwarming Update: Chester’s Journey to Finding His Purpose ✨

After 595 days in kennels, Chester’s long wait has finally come to an end. Abandoned by his original rescuers who wanted to euthanize him after just two weeks, Chester never gave up hope—and neither did we. We never gave up hope on Chester, believing he deserved every chance at happiness. Today, he has found his forever family, where he’ll be surrounded by the love and care he truly deserves.

We’re going to miss you, Chester, but we know you’re finally where you’re meant to be. Here’s to a beautiful new beginning, sweet boy! ❤️

🧡 Meet Waffels – Our Resilient Boy! 🧡

Waffels, our 5-year-old Labrador X, is slowly but surely learning that not all humans are bad. After the hardships he’s endured, he’s finally feeling safe and showing us his joyful, full-of-life spirit! 🐾

It’s been a journey, but Waffels is starting to relax and trust. Soon, we’ll be introducing him to a few of our other kennel dogs to get a sense of his preferences and help him find companionship that suits him best.

We’re excited to watch him grow and explore this next chapter of healing. 🧡

🐾 Meet Spartacus – Ready for His Forever Home! 🐾

Size: Large

Age: February 2021

Gender: Male

Breed: Mix

Rescued: February 2023

Spartacus is a beautiful young boy who has endured a heartbreaking and traumatic start to life. This gentle soul is shy and nervous around new experiences, but he thrives with a stable routine and familiar faces.

In a quiet home with another dog to help boost his confidence, Spartacus will truly blossom. He’s a loyal companion who, once he knows you, loves with all his heart and has a blast playing with his fur friends. Spartacus is already great off-lead and is working on his on-lead skills too!

Are you the loving, patient home Spartacus needs? Help him leave his difficult past behind and experience a life full of love and trust. 🏡🐶💙

Thought of the Week

As the holiday season approaches, many people start planning getaways, which often means arranging care for their beloved pets. It’s a time when pet sitters and boarding kennels are in high demand, and the urgency of booking can sometimes overshadow the need for careful vetting. However, taking the time to ensure your pet will be safe and happy while you’re away is essential. There are, unfortunately, too many heartbreaking stories of pets being neglected, lost, or even mistreated by those trusted to care for them.

If you’re considering a pet sitter, especially one you’re hiring for the first time, make sure to get multiple references. Don't hesitate to ask questions about their experience, how they handle emergencies, and whether they are comfortable with your pet’s specific needs. Trustworthy pet sitters will appreciate your concern and be happy to answer your questions.

For those choosing boarding kennels, take a closer look at their facilities. Visit in person if you can, and pay attention to the cleanliness, security, and general atmosphere. Does the staff seem attentive and genuinely invested in the well-being of the animals? Confirm that someone is on-site 24/7 and that your dog won’t be left unattended overnight. The right kennel should offer a safe, stimulating environment where your dog can play, rest, and feel secure.

By putting in a little extra effort now, you’re not only protecting your pet—you’re protecting the bond you share. Going away shouldn’t have to mean worrying if they’re safe, happy, and cared for. Make sure you trust the person or kennel you choose, so you can both enjoy the holidays with peace of mind.

🌟 Happy Tails Alert! 🌟

We are over the moon to announce that, after 292 days in our care, our beautiful girl Bella has finally found her forever home! 🏡❤️ She’s set to start a new chapter filled with love, joy, and all the wonderful adventures she deserves.

Thank you to everyone who supported Bella along her journey—your kindness, shares, and encouragement mean the world to us and to every dog who calls Jack's Rescue home. Here's to Bella living life to the fullest from here on out! 🎉🐾

Welcome, Waffels…

This week, we took in Waffels, a Labrador X boy from Help a Paw who has known far too much pain in his life. Waffles was teased by children, pelted with stones, and eventually threatened by his own owner, who vowed to take his life—all because he barked, trying to protect himself from the abuse.

At Jack's Rescue, we know that every dog deserves a chance to feel safe and loved, no matter their past. Waffles is now with us, where he will be treated with the kindness he has so desperately needed. It will take time for him to heal, but we’re determined to help him on his journey to trust and happiness.

Please keep Waffels in your thoughts as he learns to trust again. With your support, we can give him hope for a brighter tomorrow.

📢 Spirit Needs a Miracle 💔

Size: Medium – Large

Age: January 2020

Gender: Female

Breed: Sable Shephard x Africanis

Rescued May 2024

We found Spirit at a train station in Mitchells Plain, scared and alone, with her two puppies by her side. We can only imagine what she’s been through, and even now, her gentle heart still yearns for something she’s never truly known—a home filled with love.

Spirit deserves to know what it’s like to sleep in a warm bed, feel safe, and be part of a family that will never abandon her. She’s a devoted companion who clings to the kindness of humans, walks faithfully on and off the lead, and gets along with most dogs. But no cats, please—Spirit’s heart needs a calm, safe environment.

Could you be the one to show Spirit that love is real? Could you help her finally find the comfort she’s been waiting for?

Thought of the Week

Not everyone knows, but Jack's Rescue frequently steps up to support registered rescue organizations when they face an overflow of dogs. Many rescue organizations work tirelessly to save as many animals as possible, yet sometimes, they need just a little more time to make space for another dog in need. That’s where we step in. At Jack’s Rescue, these dogs are treated as part of our family; we dedicate time to learning about each dog’s unique personality and needs, especially when it comes to socialization and building trust.

One of these special dogs currently in our care is Max, a brave soul from AfriPaw who has spent far too long in kennels. Max’s life hasn’t been easy, and past trauma has left him deeply cautious of humans, especially men. This beautiful boy came to us with a heart full of fear and mistrust, and we knew it would take patience, compassion, and a lot of love to help him feel safe again. With the help of Allan, we are showing Max that, at his own pace, he can trust humans and that not everyone wants to hurt him.

We’re incredibly proud of how far Max has come. This brave boy is learning to trust again, and every small step he takes toward healing is a victory. We’re honored to be part of his journey.
