JJ

Please can you spare between 50p - £2 per week to help JJ until he finds a home?

Sponsors needed to help fund JJ's kennels please! JJ is a young American Bulldog who needs an experienced home where he can receive the training he needs. JJ has been in private boarding kennels since July, as he is too strong for many of the volunteers at the Sanctuary. Due to his lack of training a suitable home is proving hard to find & with exhausted funds the Trust is falling behind with the payments for JJ. FOR JUST 50P PER WEEK YOU CAN SPONSOR 15 MINS ON THE CLOCK FOR JJ’s KEEP, EITHER AS AN INDIVIDUAL OR A BUSINESS! £2 PER WEEK COVERS HIS FEES FOR A FULL HOUR or you can send a one off donation to help clear the bill!

The Algernon Trust Rescue & Rehoming Sanctuary in Whittlebury near Towcester was set up over twenty years ago when Jane Shepherd moved to Whittlebury near Towcester.  In 2001, the Algernon Trust was established as a non-profit organisation in order to raise funds to keep the shelter going. In 1991 Jane arrived with just five feral cats, one fox and one rabbit. Today there are usually at least sixty cats, twelve dogs, plus foxes and assorted poultry in the Trusts care.  Jane also provides a wildlife rescue service 24 hours a day 52 weeks a year.  The Trust has to fund supplies for the day to day needs of the animals in its care along with vets bills & kennel costs as they arise and has to rely on membership and donations to continue its work and Jane also fundraises through street collections, stalls at fetes and by giving talks.

JJ is looking for a foster home or permanent home. He is a stunning dog. He loves nothing more than to receive constant fuss and affection, however, he is very strong and can sometimes be overwhelming in his search for love! He needs a home experienced with large breeds. He is either an American Bulldog x or a Boxer x Staffie and is probably just about 18 months old. He's had no training and has been saved from being put to sleep at a pound after being found as a stray. He is a lovely, cuddly marshmallow of a dog but must go to a home where he will receive the training and socialisation he needs. He does learn fast and is very eager to please. He must not be homed with another dog and is unlikely to tolerate cats, he is far too boisterous to be around children at the moment but this could of course change if the effort was put in to him. He pulls like a train and is very strong but such an amiable chap. He has been chipped, castrated and fully vaccinated. JJ will make a fantastic dog if there is anyone who can guide him in the right directon. JJ is currently staying in boarding kennels paid for by the Trust, who desperately need help funding JJ’s kennel costs.
