We’re really really struggling to find Jake a home, we knew it wouldn’t be easy, but it’s not impossible.
If everyone who sees his post can share, the power of sharing really does make a difference.
Let’s help Jake have a better life.
Jake is a 6 year old Bearded collie x Boarder Collie.
Jake is a product of his environment. He lived in home with two elderly owners, and has grown up with both of them going through the various stages of dementia. Other than walk and feed Jake, both owners had no idea of how to train or look after a dog. As a result he has had a stressful life to date, and at times has suffered physical abuse as a method of control. This shows in his behaviour, (nervous, defensive and will attack if feels threatened).
Training has been at a basic level, house trained and walking on the lead.
Jake gets nervous of noise, phones ,hoovers etc. This will lead to excessive barking and with hoovers he will attack them. In the late evening he will start barking for no good reason. Probably this is related to his owners health condition as dementia sufferers symptoms get worse later in the day.
That sums up Jake’s bad points.
Outside Jake is a different dog. He no longer pulls on the lead when walking, takes a command to wait and is more comfortable with passing vehicles.
Small fast cars are still a slight issue. He is no problem when he meets people outside and will lie down should a conversation take place. Most times he is fine meeting other dogs. The exception is if another dog gets aggressive. He will respond. He does not like cats! It should be noted that Jake is also ok with people coming into the house.
He loves to run and fetch a ball. He will happily play outside all day if someone is throwing a ball. Currently this is done on a long rope lead as his play area is not fully enclosed.
Jake requires a quiet home with owners who understand the breed, and can continue to improve his issues. He is not ready ( and may never be) for a house with young children. He needs his space to regain the trust that a raised voice or hand is not a threat.
Over the past 6 weeks there has been an improvement in his behaviour. That said there is still a way to go before he becomes the dog he can and should be.
Jake has a diet of dry food mixed with a small sachet of wet food. In addition to this he does get treats, which he enjoys, as a reward.
From the limited experience with Jake he has been ok in the car.
Jake has and has always had a large cage that he goes into if left alone. He also sleeps in it at night. He is fit and healthy.

Simon has secondary progressive multiple sclerosis.
He worked in Whitehall for over 15 years. He never thought the Lords would block the assisted dying bill.
He is calling for action to overturn this obstruction of democracy.
The will of MPs and the people must prevail.
Maddie has a rare type of incurable cancer - and she wants control over it.
She wants to be able to choose to die peacefully, rather than painfully. At the time of her choosing, surrounded by her family.
MPs must finish what they started - and back the assisted dying bill.
"It's my choice. It's my life."
Barbara has motor neurone disease.
She does not want to suffer as she dies. She wants choice and compassion at the end of life.
MPs must listen to people like Barbara, and back the assisted dying bill.
The Restore Britain candidate for Greater Manchester mayor, Marlon West, has a daughter who is a rape gang survivor.
Marlon would often spend his evenings driving in search of his daughter until three or four am while having work the following day.
He often reported her missing to the police, who would sometimes turn up to his house many hours later. On one occasion he saw footage of the police saying not to bother even waking him.
A multi-agency risk management meeting was eventually convened with children’s services and the police’s Missing from Home team. While the meeting was ongoing one of the police officers in attendance told Marlon to stop reporting his daughter missing.
Marlon challenged this which resulted in the police officer shouting at him in front of all in attendance. The officer has since been dismissed.
The social worker and manager present did not intervene but privately acknowledged he was right to continue to report his daughter missing. They refused to launch a formal complaint against the officer.
After another missing episode Marlon was able to trace his daughter to a specific property. Despite repeated calls and reports of men entering the property both police and social services failed to remove her or issue an abduction warning notice.
His daughter was later found to be the victim of criminal exploitation, including drug supply, prostitution and being forced to dig up a firearm. These acts were directed by the older woman amongst others.
At this point the impact on Marlon was catastrophic. He was physically exhausted, anxious, depressed and lived in constant fear. He was attacked by masked individuals in his home with the police response delayed and dismissive.
Despite his repeated attempts to help his daughter, he has experienced many instances of violence from her as a result of the trauma and grooming. He has experienced many assaults, received black eyes and had to sleep barricaded in his room.
Marlon has since dedicated his life to stopping the rape gangs.
He has done more than any politician to fight this evil.
We are proud to back him to be the mayor of Greater Manchester, where he can end the rape gangs in the region for good.
❤️ Real heroes don’t always wear capes. Sometimes they’re simply people who stop to help when they don’t have to. Small acts of kindness can make a life-changing difference. 🙏✨

After this performance the band did an interview saying this was the best performance they have ever done. Just this song. Everyone was on cue. Perfect. Not a note missed by anyone. Pitch. Tone. Timing. All perfect. They said they never performed this good ever before. And you can clearly tell.
RIP Christine McVie, thank you so much for giving us so many incredible songs and serving us with your beautiful artistry. You'll be missed.

"For me, it remains one of the most compassionate and important reforms Parliament has considered in a generation...I could not ignore the democratic or moral imperative before me."
Today, Lauren Edwards MP confirmed the new co-sponsors of the assisted dying bill.
The cross-party group of MPs behind this reform shows the exceptional range of knowledge held by key supporters of the bill, with expertise spanning medicine, law, and disabled people’s and women’s safety. Among them:
Lauren Edwards MP is urging the House of Lords to finish its job on the assisted dying bill.
She emphasised that the "anti-democratic" way the bill was blocked by the Upper House motivated her to return it, so that "people can continue to have faith in our democratic system".

This morning, I appeared on Good Morning Britain in a live interview about the grooming gangs. Before I went on air, I was told not to mention the race of the perpetrators. I, of course, didn’t listen.
I have now received an apology from the editor.
My interview is below: 👇🏻
BREAKING: The assisted dying bill is back.
Today Lauren Edwards MP officially returned the bill to the House of Commons and confirmed the date of the Second Reading vote will be 11 September.
This is a huge moment for dying people and the nation that stands behind them, believing they should have choice.
