About This Dog

Samkiel's ideal home

Meet Samkiel our sweet 9 year old Jack Russell Terrier x Chihuahua. Samkiel is a lovely boy, who is a little bit of a worried sometimes. For this reason he would prefer to be the only dog in the home, but can have parallel walks with calm dogs that will respect his space. He is looking to live with children 14+ due to his worried nature. He is looking for a patient home to show him the world isn't that scary and help him build his confidence. He needs a home that will respect that he doesn't like being fussed straight away and will build a relationship with him slowly in the home.

Could you be Samkiel's perfect match?

Samkiel is a sweet boy who loves a sniffy walk then finding a nice place to settle down and snooze. He needs time to get to know people and doesn't like being fussed straight away. Sam can be nervous around other dogs so is looking to be the only pet the household. He is missing his home comforts and is looking for a patient loving home where he can retire. He is happy exploring at his own pace and will make the best companion for the right person willing to put the time and effort in for him.

He is a sweet angel who just needs a bit of patience and time to come around! Gizmo is a bit fan of chicken, so this is a great aid in making friends and any training he may need. Gizmo isn't looking to go for hikes, but he enjoys getting out and...

...dog in the home, although he tends to ignore other dogs when out and about. He could potentially live with cats, as he has previously met them and shown little interest. Frankie was brought to us because he was being left alone for extended periods (around 6–9 hours), which he struggled to cope with. He can find being left difficult and may vocalise when alone, so he...
