Hi, I’m Jarvis. I’m an energetic and playful puppy and with your help, I can become a life-saving Medical Detection Dog.

Breed: Fox Red Labrador

Gender: Male

Colour: Fox Red

Likes: Playing with toys and investigating my amazing new home

Dislikes: Not being able to go out and about just yet!

Jarvis has just joined us and we are delighted as it has been quite a while since we had a Fox Red Labrador puppy join the team. The breed is well known to us, so we expect Jarvis to quickly pick up some of the skills he will need whilst still enjoying being a puppy and discovering the world around him. His trainer, Ali, will soon start to teach Jarvis all the life skills he will need to become a Medical Detection Dog. In just a few weeks, she will begin taking Jarvis out and about to new environments, to socialise him with other dogs, as well as people, and to get him used to all the sights, smells and noises that the world has to offer.

Jarvis is settling in to his new life already. As you can see from the short video clip, he was very happy to have a quick run at The Centre before heading off to his new home where he’ll soon become one of the family. His socialiser, Carole is really looking forward to having him around the home, particularly as Jarvis is the first dog she is socialising for us. With the support of Ali, we are sure that his early socialisation and training will go very well indeed.

We are very happy to welcome another Fox Red Labrador to the team. Clients in need of one of our dogs have a wide range of personal circumstances that we must consider and many people find they are suited to larger breeds. Alongside his intelligence and abilities, we think his breed temperament and character will make an excellent member of the Medical Detection Dogs family. Good luck, Jarvis!
