Name: Jack
Age: Adult
Sex: Male
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier/Poodle
Ref number: 117
Personality:
Jack came into us from a multi-dog household which has meant he has seen little of the outside world before coming to us. Jack was very scared and shut down when he first arrived and it took him several weeks to make friends with the staff. Now he has settled, Jack’s confidence has flourished. He is now ready to find a home of his own.
Behaviour:
Jack is still naturally a fearful dog, and new sounds/people/environments can worry him. He will back away if scared and bark often at other dogs but he is learning to enjoy his walks and we are confident once he is settled in a new home, he will be a different dog. Jack loves affection now and will happily sit on your lap for cuddles. Jack will bark at other dogs but this is often out of frustration, as when he is allowed to greet he shows positive signs of being dog social. Jack will need adopters who are prepared to take things slow with him, and allow him time to settle in. He is working on how to walk nicely on the lead and handler engagement and this will all have to be carried on in his new home. Jack is a wonderful dog with a lovely nature and really deserves a fresh start in life.
Housing:
Jack would really benefit from having his own garden as he is not ready to go on daily walks just yet. Having his own garden will also really help with toilet training, which is something he may need support with.
Children/pets:
Jack will need a pet-free home but would enjoy walking with other calm dogs eventually. Jack could live with secondary school age children but ultimately needs a quiet home where he will be given time and space when needed.
Vet history:
Jack is up to date with flea, worming and vaccinations. He will be castrated before adoption due to a retained testicle.
