This will keep your dog safe: your new dog will be nervous and will not trust you, and you will not know which situations might upset your dog. If your dog panics, then a slip lead is the only way to prevent your dog from escaping (many dogs can escape from a collar and/or harness). It will take AT LEAST 3-6 months for your dog to settle-in and for you to know your dog fully (longer for nervous dogs). The slip lead must ALWAYS be used during this settling-in period.

It’s Been A Great Ride! On To The Next Adventure …

Image
When we launched GoPetFriendly sixteen years ago, our goal was to make it easy for people to travel with their pets. Perhaps you remember what it was like back then … when finding places to stay and things to do with your pets was HARD. It wasn’t that the idea of taking your pets with you on vacation was a new concept. Some people had been doing it for years. But they were the exception. Most people believed that traveling with a pet was extravagant, or weird, or just too difficult.   Pet Travel Gained Acceptance Things certainly have changed! Perhaps creating GoPetFriendly helped sparked a shift in thinking. But, over the years, millions of pet lovers have visited the site to plan trips with their furry family members, and that absolutely delights me! Eventually, as more people began traveling with their pets, businesses recognized the opportunity. Soon hotels, restaurants, and even entire cities began touting the fact that they were pet friendly.

Mickey – 1 year old male Jack Russell Terrier

Image
Mickey is a 1 year old male Jack Russell and a real sweet little boy. He is a Spanish Jack Russell with an affectionate, loving character who really enjoys fuss and attention. He plays and mixes well with other dogs and enjoys his group walks. He doesn’t pull on the lead and is not reactive, though he does get excited when he sees squirrels, which is something we are working on. He is growing in confidence all the time and is very eager to please. A beautiful little boy, he is very trainable and wants to make his humans happy. We don’t think Mickey has had the best start in life, so it would be lovely to see him go to someone who truly appreciates this breed. He would be best suited to a family with children aged 12+. Mickey is neutered and is available for meet and greets at our shelter in Wistaston, Cheshire, by appointment only.
