We were thrilled when orli was adopted in October 2024 to a family that fit all our criteria. However, you can never know for certain how good a home it will turn out to be.
Last week, the adopter messaged us saying he was bringing Orli - renamed Jasper back to the shelter.
He said Jasper was chewing slippers and destroying neighbors' plants, and he wasn't going to train him not to do it.
There are times when adoptions don't work out for various reasons, but what is confusing is when people are surprised that puppies act like puppies!
They chew everything, especially if they are not given enough stimulation, exercise, and attention.
Jasper's adopter never asked for help or told us there was a problem - they just gave up on him right in the middle of the Distemper outbreak.
Luckily, Crystal, our dog trainer, took him in and rehabilitated him for free at her home so he was not exposed to Distemper.
We called him Orli again as he didn't respond to the name Jasper.

We are happy to report that we believe Orli found his perfect home with Eunice, Philam and little JJ.  They added him to their family on 11 January 2025.
He has a massive garden to run around in and has also gained two siblings, DAS adoptees Ori and Gailen, who Eunice adopted a few weeks ago.
It's wonderful to see these three rescues having fun and just being dogs.
Thank you so much Eunice and family, for giving Orli his third chance at the life he deserves!
