Jerry enjoyed his first Christmas with his foster siblings

He loves chilling

I'm taking him to dog school every Sunday morning so that he can learn how to be more relaxed and less excitable around strange dogs

He's a gorgeous dog in the home though :)

Hey KTB.. how long has Jerry been in foster care? I looked on pet rescue but it didn't say (on mobile).

One of those oval pics looks a LOT like theodore oval!

Edit.. found the answer - almost 12 months.

Yup. He came into foster care in June 2015 and he's been with us since end of July 2015. We've been working on his issues. In the interim, we've turned down a lot of interstate applicants who don't read the bit that says ' no interstate applicants' :p He has two very promising local applicants. In any case, some dogs are adopted out very quickly, some take longer - for us it's about finding the right fit - for dog and family.

I've never been to Theodore Oval. Oval is Spence Oval where he goes to obedience classes every Sunday.

Teaching Jerry "are you shy"?

Jerry's applicant wrangles him at dog school every Sunday now and also comes over to our house to take him for a walk. This week he went to Mount Rogers

Jerry is gorgeous! :love: Looks like he's come a long way with your hard work.

Thank you. He has been a lot of hard work but he really is a beautiful dog, so he's worth the effort.

What a stunning boy! He rocks those ears like a pro too... *grin*

Yes, they're massive. Give him lots of character :)

The photos are always stunning! I love how Cricket is now a US citizen.

Yes, they are promising us a photo in front of the White House soon. It's a long, long way from Broken Hill Pound for Cricket! :)

Jerry's applicant came to take him for a walk to Mount Painter today. He had an absolute blast

Former foster Twiggy was surrendered to a rural pound in New South Wales in 2014 after giving birth to a litter of puppies. She was very underweight, very timid with separation issues that led her to be destructive when left alone and had no training. She was adopted by a loving owner in Sydney who has continued to work with her. Twiggy's having an awesome new life and she has passed her training and is now a Delta Therapy Dog!

We're so proud of her and her owner because it shows how far she's come from the pound dog she was given that she was able to

Thanks for that info. He does look like a good dog. The work you do is so admirable and dogs are lucky to come into your care. :thumbsup:

I hope so much they make it happen. It'd be one of the greatest pics of a dog from Australian rescue (via the pound!). :) :)
