🌟 Meet Jake - Ready for His Forever Home! 🌟

Our sweet boy Jake has come a long way from the frightened, starving pup we found hiding in a bush off the side of the road. After weeks of care, love, and a few tasty treats, Jake has blossomed into the most beautiful soul.

This gentle, medium-sized boy is great at meeting new doggy friends, loves his food, and enjoys his walks—but he always stays close to his humans. He’s got a playful spirit, and you’ll often find him wagging his tail, ready for some fun!

Jake is now ready to find his forever home. Could that be with you? 🐾

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who’s full of love and joy, Jake might just be your perfect match. 💙

Thought of the Week

Recently, I've noticed many people eager to adopt puppies, but the answer is often no when asked if someone will be home during the day. I completely understand that in today’s world, most households require two incomes, and times are tough. However, it's important to remember that a puppy cannot be left alone for 6-7 hours a day. When left alone for long periods, puppies can become bored and get destructive, leading to damaged furniture, shoes, or worse. I've personally seen many puppies returned to shelters because of this.

Depending on their breed, Puppies need to eat at least thrice a day. They require consistent attention, guidance, and socialization to grow into well-adjusted dogs. Without proper care, puppies can develop behavioral issues that are hard to correct later on.

If you’re considering adopting a puppy and no one will be home during the day, consider enrolling them in a doggy daycare. However, remember that it’s your puppy, and they must spend quality time with you. Building a strong bond with your puppy is essential, and they need your attention, care, and love to thrive.

A puppy is a big commitment, and it's crucial to be fully prepared before bringing one into your home. Let’s give these little ones the best start in life!

Thought of the Week
A dear friend of mine who is in the medical field reminded me of something crucial this week. She pointed out that when people don't listen to her as a doctor, their health suffers. But when people fail to heed the advice of rescuers and veterinarians, the animals—particularly the dogs—pay the price.

This is a stark reminder of our responsibility, not just for ourselves, but for the voiceless beings who depend on us. Whether it's following through on medical advice, understanding the needs of a rescued animal, or adhering to guidelines set by those who know best, our actions—or inactions—have real consequences.

In the world of animal rescue, these consequences can be heartbreaking. It's not just about saving lives; it's about ensuring those lives are lived well, with care and compassion. Let's all take a moment to listen more closely, act more thoughtfully, and remember that our choices can make all the difference between suffering and thriving—for both humans and animals alike.

🌟 Meet Our Golden Oldies Looking for Forever Homes 🌟

At Jack's Rescue, we believe every dog deserves a loving home, especially our senior pups who still have so much love to give. 🐾

Here are some of our wise and wonderful Oldies who are ready to be your new best friend:

🐶 Rocky: At 7 years old, Rocky is a gentle soul who was surrendered as unwanted. He’s lived with cats before and gets along best with female dogs. Rocky is looking for a peaceful home to spend his golden years.

🐶 Titan: About 8 years old, Titan has been through so much, including a traumatic experience with his previous owners. Despite it all, Titan still loves his humans and most dogs. He’s not a fan of children, but he’ll be your most loyal companion.

🐶 Lizzi: About 9 years old, Lizzi recently lost her mom and was surrendered. She’s a loving girl who gets along with big male dogs but isn’t a fan of cats or small dogs. Lizzi is ready for a new home where she can feel safe and loved again.

🐶 Pam: Pam is a sweet senior girl with a heart full of love to give. She gets along wonderfully with most dogs and absolutely adores humans. Pam is looking for a forever home where she can spend her golden years surrounded by love and companionship. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to this lovely lady, Pam is ready to shower you with affection in return!

🐶 Lady: At 8 years old, Lady isn’t just any dog; she’s a true testament to the timeless adage that age is just a number. She exudes vitality, enthusiasm, and a zest for life that’s contagious to everyone around her. With her striking coat and soulful eyes, Lady embodies beauty and grace, both inside and out. Lady’s gentle demeanor and friendly disposition make her a beloved member of any pack, whether she’s frolicking in the park with her canine companions or curling up for a cozy snuggle session with her human pals.

🐶 Bruce: At 11 years old, Bruce is a gentle and wise soul looking for a cozy spot to enjoy his golden years. He prefers the company of large female dogs, so if you have a furry friend, he might be the perfect addition to your family. Bruce deserves more than kennel life—let’s unite to find him a forever home where he can be cherished and comfortable.

Our Oldies may have a few more years on them, but they have so much wisdom, loyalty, and love to offer. If you're looking for a devoted companion who will fill your home with love and warmth, please consider giving one of these special souls a chance.

🐾 Meet Brownie! 🐾

They call me Brownie…not the most original name, but as a brown Africanis girl, it kind of suits me! I’m the social butterfly around here, always up for a playdate with my canine buddies. Running, playing, and stirring up some fun is my jam!

Life didn’t start easy for me—I grew up with very little and was surrendered in hopes of finding a better life. But that hasn’t dimmed my happy-go-lucky spirit! I’m full of beans and ready to bring my energy into a loving home.

What I’m looking for? A place with lots of adventures, maybe some furry siblings to call family, and humans who can give me the love I’ve been waiting for. Can you give an ordinary girl her happily ever after?

💛 Adopt Brownie and make her dream come true! 💛

🐾 THOUGHT OF THE WEEK 🐾

Times are getting harder, and the weight of rescue is heavier than ever. We often hear, "I don't know how you do this," and honestly, we sometimes wonder the same thing. But somehow, day after day, we keep going—because the love we have for these animals is stronger than anything else. It's a love so deep that we’d risk everything, even jail, to save just one life. That’s the reality of rescue: it’s both heartbreaking and beautiful, filled with moments of despair and incredible joy.

In the midst of all this, we don’t always have the time to spend with friends and family like we wish we could. Our days and nights blur together, and before we know it, another week has passed. But that doesn’t mean we don’t need you—it means we need you more than ever. If you know a rescuer, please check in on them. Show up at their door with a steaming hot cup of coffee, tea, or hot chocolate. Sit with them, even if it’s in silence. You don’t have to say anything—just being there, holding space for them, is more than enough.

It’s not just about rescuing animals; it’s about enduring the emotional toll, the sleepless nights, and the countless sacrifices. It’s about missing out on moments with loved ones because there’s a life that needs saving. And while we do this for the animals, knowing you’re with us makes all the difference. Your kindness, your understanding, your support—they remind us that we’re not alone in this journey.

So, the next time you wonder how we do it, just remember—it’s not just about what we do, but who we have standing beside us. Thank you for being there, for the animals, and for us. ❤️🐾

🔥 A Deeply Felt Thanks to Arise Mental Wellness 🔥

Every day, rescuers across the globe confront the harshest realities of animal suffering.
