8 month old GSD cross male pup, gorgeous lad

Meet Jinx, an absolutely gorgeous 8 month old GSD cross pup who is looking for a forever home.

Jinx came from a litter of pups whose breeder was giving the pups away cheaply or free

As is so often the story, Jinx had not been wormed or vaccinated and he was very underweight when he came into the care of Once Loved Dog Rescue. After he was wormed and vaccinated, he found a home with a family who had a small child. The child had an illness which meant she had to have tubes attached to her 24 hours a day. Jinx was gentle and kind with the child from their very first meeting and the family decided to adopt Jinx.

Sadly for Jinx, six months on, the family failed to teach Jinx not to jump up, no pup knows not to jump up unless taught! So it wasn’t this pup’s fault! One day Jinx jumped up in greeting to the child and pulled one of her tubes out. The family told us they could not risk that happening again as it put the child’s health at risk, so Jinx is now back in our care and looking for a home where he can stay forever.

Jinx is a gorgeous, loving lad who can live with another dog, but not cats. He is coming along brilliantly with his training, and he will make someone a wonderful friend and companion. Jinx is currently being fostered in Newton Abbot, Devon. Although we would ideally like a home in the south west area, it isn't completely necessary if it's the right home!

If you are interested in offering Jinx a permanent home please email cathy@oncelovedrescue.org.uk for an adoption application form. All potential foster carers or those interested in offering a permanent home will be required to have a homecheck and post homechecks.

Hi Cathy, is Jinx on any other sites like German Shepherd Rescue UK? Check out their facebook page too.

The more who see him the better his chances. He looks a sweetie and being young I'm sure he won't be waiting long for the right home.

Hi Anni

No he's not on there, he's on facebook, as I send out 'notes' from our rescue page on there, and he's on dogsblog and my rescue site, but I'll look for German Shepherd Rescue UK on facebook.
Thank you
