Jasper was rehomed to an elderly lady by another Rescue, nearly 3 years ago, and is now four years old. Unfortunately, and perhaps inevitably, she is no longer able to care for him after a bad fall which has left her hospitalised and bed ridden for many months and even after recovery she will be largely immobile. Jasper is a super dog. He is very affectionate and very easy to do. Quiet around the house. Has been living a cat and is just an all round sweetie. He has however had many years cooped up in a tiny bungalow and very rarely got the exercise and socialisation he needed and deserves. Jasper is coming into SLR today to be fostered with Geoff, Ann and Charlotte in Hertfordshire. He will be a lucky lad to have the Pishiobury park on his back doorstep. And they are hoping to come to fun day with him. Jennyx.

Jasper has arrived!
Very grateful to the neighbour and others who drove him down from Norfolk! The neighbour has been looking after him for the past week and has been doing a great job of walking him for the last couple of years.
Lovely dog, very chilled out and already stretched out on the sofa. A tad bigger than we expected, haven't had a chance to grab the tape measure yet ha.
Photos to follow!
Charlotte

Hi - hope you like the photos. We enjoyed walking Jasper for the first time - a very chilled out dog.

Hi Charlotte. That is my Pishiobury Park! I love that place. Where are the cows this year? I went about two week's ago and no cows! Sorry about the measurements, but he IS a Lurcher. You have my number, and I know Donna is keeping in touch. See you on Sunday xxx

He's definitely a lurcher, and a lovely looking one at that. He looks to have been well cared for, look at his shiny coat.

We met Jasper today at the Funday. He is lovely, quite a big handsome and friendly hound, and we met lovely Charlotte and Ann part of his new foster family.

What a lovely tall handsome boy Jasper is! We met him at the Funday and he is much taller than I was expecting, but what a super, well behaved lad he is. Not quite as tall as Nero (who is?) but about Kodi sized and will be an ideal hound for someone who doesn't like to bend down to pat their dog.

A quick update on Jasper!
He has settled fantastically into our home. Can't believe we've had him for such a short amount of time!
He's coming out of his shell a bit which is nice to see - he gets on well with people, other dogs and our cat (he knows that she's the boss!). My dad and I took him to the vet today - very well behaved and most importantly healthy. His recall is constantly improving with training and he's a lovely boy to take on walks.

Having met this big boy at the fun day, all I can say is "wow". He is an all round lovely dog, not bothered about the amount of dogs or noise that he walked into at the fun day and has a lovely temperament. He also does the Lurcher Lean. Gorgeous.... xxxx I took some photos, and will get them on when I return from holiday. Meet up with you soon Anne. x
