Jack

Jack is a super cute little chap on the lookout for a new home. He was handed over due to a change of circumstances with his previous family, meaning they could no longer provide the care he needed. Jack arrived in our care in a sorry state, with itchy skin, dirty ears and a noticeable limp in his walk. After a consult with our vets and x-rays, it was clear Jack was in desperate need of surgery on his hip, to repair an injury that had been left untreated for a number of years. Jack has had this surgery and is recovering well, but would ideally prefer to find a home and not have to return to kennels in order to continue his hopefully speedy recovery in a comfortable, low stress environment. The WARS team will be on hand to help any potential adopters with this, and cover any costs associated with the hip surgery and ongoing recovery. Jack is a friendly boy and thrives when he is around his favourite people. He is known to roll over and ask for a belly scratch, and would happily sit with his humans for hours, we are sure he will make someone a fantastic little companion. He has previously lived with children, and may be able to do so again (aged 7 and above) pending successful meets at the shelter. We would consider slightly younger children who are terrier experienced and can understand Jack is an older boy, recovering from surgery and will need downtime in his new home. Typical of the terrier breed, Jack has a heightened prey drive and will not be able to live with small furry pets or cats. He is currently working on his social skills around other dogs, as he can currently be quite vocal when he sees them out and about, so would need to be the only dog in the home for now, and have continued training with calm walking friends going forwards. For 11 years old, Jack still has lots of life in him, and would enjoy a home that can offer him an enriching lifestyle with plenty of walks and brain games to keep him stimulated, followed by a snuggle and a snooze. Jack is a really sweet boy and we really hope he can settle into a forever home soon, if that could be with you then please fill out a form today.
