I could take them both from thursday evening til sunday? I would keep them longer but am out all day!!
/martina
he is a frisky guy and very energetic so am not surprised that he scaled the wall! he is probably all out of sorts so would keep an eye on him. So good to hear how fond you all are of him. When started to read your message, I thought he had gone missing..TG you found him! Poor jasper doesnt know where he is and is probably trying to find his way back to Stef and Judy or even achill!.
love to see some pics…/Martina
Ah…so good to hear about him and cant wait to see the pics. Thank you so much for looking after him..he is a real gem for sure!
best of luck jasper in your new home..will never forget you and the day we spent together..lol!! xx
how is jasper getting on..think he had his visit to the vets yesterday? give him a hug from me the poor pet..
is he getting used to the city life after coming from the wilds of Achill Island?
/martina
ah..am so glad to hear that Stef!! you will have lots of joy with him for sure!! wish I had a garden so that I could foster him..
(. He is lucky to have you and judy for company!.
Keep the updates coming..have a soft spot for this guy!
/Mhi all,
I picked Jasper up from his owner yesterday and drove him back to dublin to the lucky Stef and Judy. What a fab fab boy..he is just the most adorable guy. He runs to greet anybody and just loves to be petted. A gentle soul and so pretty. He is still very much a puppy I think and is so playful. He travelled very well in the car on the long trip back considering he had already put in an hour and a half journey from achill before hitting the 2 hour trip back to dublin with me. He just sat in the back seat looking out the window popping his head to the front now and then to say hello and give me a lick!. I adore this little guy..he does not seem to have any training but will be a joy to train. He seemed to get on very well with Stef dog Judy when we met in dublin so I hope this continued through the night. What great company..am missing him terribly!! Would love to hear how he is getting on ..any family would be lucky to have this guy..he has a lot of energy so would need an active home..
best of luck Jasper..you are a real sweetie..
/mwill say a prayer for him..the poor little mite. This picture is one of the worst I have seen of neglect! An appeal with this photo would raise much needed funds for DID..

Hi,
Maybe some of the money raised in the table quiz held last week could be used for this operation? It would be great to save these little guys from their suffering..
/Martina
Hi,
He looks so great. I think the main site should be updated with these photos so that Gypsy/Ted has a better chance of finding a forever home..
/Martina
hi,
I am posting this on behalf of Anna who is currently fostering Gypsy..now Ted!. She has some great photos..need to figure out how to include them…
/MartinaHi my name is Anna Forsyth and Ted (Gypsy) is in foster care with me…. I have just fallen in love with Ted and wish I could keep him but travel commitments are on there way and unfortunately they mean I cant keep Ted.
1. What is the dogs’ general demeanour?
Ted is just one great boy! He was very nervous the first day on arrival to our home but when he realised that we were there to love him he just came right out of his shell! He is so quick to learn! He now fetches and walks on the lead no bother! He would even make a good guard dog. He is so much fun and just wants attention and support. I would keep him myself but my partner and me are thinking of working abroad for a while and don’t want to get anymore attached then we already are! I would really want to see him going to a family or someone with land. He has lots of energy and is very intrigued on whats going on around him.
2. Does your foster dog like any of the following?
Ted loves cuddles, being brushed, walks and catching sticks!3. On a lead, does the dog:

4. Does the dog have any interest in toys?
He loves balls anything you give him that he can chew! So be careful of your shoes! But hey he is only 6-8 months old so I presume he is just teething!Does he/she have a favourite toy? Anything that is Rubber and soft.
How does he/she react when you take the toy away?
Just jumps up on you till you though it for him to fetch!Will he/she share toys and play with another dog? As far as I know he is very good with other dogs. I bring him to the beach sometimes and he just loves playing with the other dogs!
