PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY BEFORE APPLYING.

We met Blaze when we got the call from our partner to assist with the upliftment of an unsterilised male Boerboel who had been living in a chicken coop, and was being evicted for- shocker- chasing chickens!

From the footage we had received, we could see that the dog was grossly underweight and was suffering from a severe eye infection. We knew nothing of his temperament.

Upon arrival, we found a mild mannered, yet passive, defeated young boy. His enclosure had been sealed shut with a heavy metal door, with rubble and scrap metal stacked in front of it.

Surrender paperwork was signed and there would be no looking back for Blaze.

What followed was a lengthy recovery period from various ailments caused by neglect; Blaze had to undergo entropion surgery, treatment for severe yeast infections in his ears, and underwent a complete dietary overhaul to improve his overall physical condition.

Finally, this handsome boy is recovered and ready to take on the world! Blaze is a social boy who is easygoing in the presence of other dogs, and absolutely adores human affection. He wants so badly to be a part of the action. He’s a BIG lover and cuddle bug who loves nothing more than to sit on your lap or rest his giant head on your chest.

Blaze will be the perfect companion to a young family with older children- only because he’s a bit boisterous and heavy-set for the little ones! Or a young couple or single person with a medium to large calm dog.

If you’d like to offer this deserving boy a shot at the life he deserves, please get in touch with Jack’s Rescue directly.

SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY.
STRICT HOMECHECKS APPLY.

We’ve been admittedly reluctant to share with you our latest intake.

When Dozer- as affectionately named by his rescuer- was surrendered into our care on Wednesday, his condition was so critical, that he was immediately admitted for hospitalisation with our partner Animal Rescue Organisation.

His hematocrit count was so low, it was uncertain whether the boy would make the night.

However, under the caring expertise of Dr Natasha, Dozer was strong enough to be discharged two days later.

His first night out of hospital was touch-and-go; still very weak and needing to be syringe-fed water as he was unable to lift his head to drink.

Dozer is now in the loving care of a trusted and experienced foster-to-adopt home, under the continued medical guidance of Dr Natasha.

Though he is not yet in the clear, we can confidently report that this boy is fighter- continuing steadily from strength to strength- not only physically, but also emotionally.

With a long road ahead in his journey to recovery, we are committed to walking with him every step of the way, and providing him with every possible shot at redemption!

We believe that the emotional scars inflicted on dogs are as devastating as the physical, and that every dog - regardless of breed or past trauma - deserves a shot at redemption!

No one’s perfect, and, well- TIFU.

Meet Rachel, Rogan and Ritchie.
Our very first honorary “Redemption Cats”!

During one of our regular outreaches- with the intention of a simple visit to one of our community dogs whose owner had sadly recently passed on- I was “gifted” this beautiful young mama cat and her two trembling little boys.

Their owner wished to surrender them as “they kept messing in the house and having babies.”

A huge thank you to renowned cat-whisperer, Mandy Store, for all her guidance and sharing of expertise. Thanks to her, we are now confidently equipped to provide for all their needs and ensure they are safely and comfortably placed in their forever homes when they are ready.
