Description Dave was left unwanted on a farm I work at last september by some guy and the farm lady brought him down to me to rehome... -_-; ...unfortunaly with animals I can't say no if its in a situation where they are going to be put down if not taken in, So It wasn't really a choise. :/
He has been very unsucessful in finding a home. Found him one with a older lady that just wanted a dog for company and there was ment to be no children but got a phone call 2 hours after her trail period ((I always give people a week to see how they get on)) And she said he bit a child, so ovbiously went up to pick him up and see what was going on and she and the mums in the neighbourhood locked him in a room with 13-15 young children on their own while they were upstairs having coffee. ...So I was proud of myself for not swearing but i did give every mother there a hell of a lecture. and the woman tryed denying I said he wasn't good with children but i get people to sign paperwork before trialing a dog with conditions of having it after making them read it so no trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes there...was very annoyed that day.
I would have trusted him around visiting children whilst supervised, and he's create trained. But only people with young familys try getting in contact with me about him so obviously that wont work out and I wouldn't put Dave or the children(even if i don't like them. xD ) at any risk.

He's looking for a older person who lives on their own with no children.
He's very loving and loves to play with his ball.
He's a Male, Pug x jack russell, about 3 years old.

He's on many rescues in my area homing list but as of far no luck. :/
(Plus Loki doesn't really like little jack russell things so dave's crated most of the time while I'm out. <.<; ).
Going to try 2nd chance animal rescue again if i don't hear back from them by wednesday, they are ment to be quite good at homing small dogs... heres hoping. xD

I love him! I wish I could take him! And I don't like kids either, so I totally understand that. I usually want to bite them, too.

Lol! xD I've got him a home now.
Lol, same. Some children need it lol! though I do like getting children hyper then handing them back to their parents! That'll teach them for having them.

we have a dog with a similar story at our rescue right now. he's a chihuahua/jack russell that hates kids (he growls at them if they're walking across the street) but everyone who takes an interest in him either has little kids or has them visiting all the time. the problem is, he's super dominant, and older people can't handle him easily. he's one of the hardest re-homes we've had, in my opinion.

(i get along great with him, and wish i could take him home, but i've already got two dogs and a little brother xD)

good luck, Dave~! you'll find your special person!

Yea its really difficult! :[ I think an older person could handle dave he's not overly strong, but is dominant and gets clingy to one person so needs someone who wont let him get to clingy. :[
And unfortuantly he's starting fights with my loki my lurcher now. (I have 5 of my own dogs) D: He is good with other dogs usualy ((Loki hates jack russell types for some reason so they are as bad as each other)).
I have him at home because every rescue i've tried has said just put him down because they can't home him and the ones I get in contact with that are no kill I've contacted, left loads of messages, and even got actully threw to one the other day said they had the wrong number to contact me ((even though i have rung up nemerous times and gave the right number)) But yea, got threw she said she was busy at that time can she call me back to get some more details on the dog later that day...and that was two days ago. :/ So I don't think they are really intrested in helping. Shame really, last thing I want to do is put this guy down. :[
So difficult when i work most of the time, only earn £54 a week and him always starting on loki. :/ ((Dave is crated all the time i'm out of the house and during the night)) So not fair really on him either. :[ Just feel sorry for the little guy. Hope a suitable home comes along for him at some point.

Me too. ^-^

Dunno. Older people just dont contact me me about him. Even though I say he's not good with children its only people with 6 month babys and young children that ask me for him. :[

You work at the shelter or volunteer? Either way, it's very kind of you to help these poor and lovable animals

what's he like with other male dogs? my lab is ok with dogs smaller than him. no visiting kids, but there is the occasional visiting german shepherd.

He's ok with other dogs. good with mine, but if people allow him to get protective he will so prefably a home where he's on his own. (He doesn't do it with me because I don't fuss and don't allow him to get on me or 'cling' to me). But my dad came the other day and loki layed his head on his lap and dave didn't like it, and went to 'claim' my dad. first time he's went for one of mine though, stopped it as soon as i got outthe back (as left dad alone in back garden with them). Think Dave would prefer being the only animal in the house though.
Good with other dogsout on walks ect.

Have phoned up saulten ages ago so he should be on the books but i know how difficult it is to home a dog like dave. Plus pug x jacks are horrible mix's don't know why people breed them. the bendy legs of the jack and the eye problems of the pug. :/

But have left a message with second chance animal rescue. hopefully they have a old single person on their books looking because thats the ideal home he needs.
