Jess was about 10 months old and arrived from the pound in the middle of 2025. She was a tiny little petite collie mix and was very nervous and overwhelmed when we first met her. We have given her plenty of time and space …. It’s ironic that she was in the kennel that Candy (now Ace) was in when she arrived. Jess reminds us of Candy (now Ace) in so many ways. Her dainty size and her nervous manner. However, maybe when Candy was adopted she left some of her courage to pass on to Jess, as Jess started making huge progress and eventually started coming to have a sniff of the volunteers and accepting a gentle rub or two..

“I just wanted to share some photos and videos of Jess. She’s absolutely flying it. Loves getting out for her walks every day and gets very excited when she sees me with my coat on. She’s starting to play outside chasing us and picking up some of her toys. She has also made friends with some of the neighbourhood dogs so gets very excited if she meets them when we’re out walking. She’s the cutest thing. Thank you again

A gorgeous update on Jess
“Hello Marian! I hope you’re all keeping well. I just wanted to share an update on Jess as it’s been a while! She is absolutely flying it. She’s so playful and is making friends whenever we go out for walks. We’re letting her off the leash when we’re on our local walk. She loves to chase the ball. I recently looked back on videos from last year and can’t believe how different she is. She’s gained so much confidence. She’s the best girl and we would be lost without her.” (October, 2026)
