This week’s urgent appeal is for Jack
Jack is a little dog who is just being overlooked at the SPA. Is it because of his age? He has just turned nine years old. Is it because of his colour? Yes, Jack is black. It cannnot be due to his personality, as Jack is a great little dog. He is wonderful on the lead and is fine with other dogs, whether on a walk or sharing his kennel with them or playing off lead in the park.
With nothing else in the photo to show his size, you would think that Jack is a labrador. But he is a very mini one, weighing about 15 kg or so. He has a docked tail which he wags almost constantly. He arrived in February this year, already identified, but the owner’s address had changed, and assuming he was the one who dropped Jack at the SPA, he doesn’t want the dog in any case. Far better for Jack to find a new home.
As a senior dog, Jack’s adoption fee is just €80, for which you will have a castrated, vaccinated and identified dog. And being on the small side, Jack’s best years are still to come. It would be a shame for him to spend them at the SPA.
Jack would make an ideal dog for just about anyone. A steadying influence on a more nervous dog, perhaps? Or just a great walking companion for someone who wants an easy dog.
