History: 
Jack came to SSC after his owner became unwell and needed to move into assisted living. 
 
Current: 
Jack is a very friendly, calm boy. He loves having fuss and snuggles and gives out lots of kisses. 
 
He enjoys playing with his toys and rolling around with them, but he also enjoys rolling around on (and sometimes off!) the sofa without his toys! 
 
He loves his treats and enjoys puzzle feeders, kongs etc. 
 
Walking: 
Jack walks well on the lead and does not pull. 
 
He is not reactive to other dogs on sight, but isn’t always keen on them being too close to him. 
 
Travelling: 
Jack travels beautifully and sits calmly on the backseat without any trouble. 
 
Vets: 
Jack has been to our vets for a health check and blood tests. 
 
He has struggled in the past with blood draws (he also doesn’t like his eyes being examined) so although our vets muzzled him, he was very well behaved. Then once he realised that he was getting lots of cuddles, blood could be taken without any issue and our vets said what a lovely, happy boy he was. 
 
He was well behaved in the waiting room, though we did make sure to give him plenty of space from other dogs. 
 
Health: 
Jack suffers from allergies that affect his skin. As his allergies weren’t under control when he arrived with us, he is currently taking a course of steroids to provide him with relief from his itchiness. He will most likely need to start taking apoquel once he has finished the steroids. He also has a bath twice a week using malaseb shampoo – he is very well-behaved for these. 
 
His blood tests all came back within normal ranges. 
 
Ideal home: 
Jack needs a pet free home. 
He was used to being left in his previous home, so could be left for up to 4 hours once settled into his new home. 
He can live with children 10+. 
 
Standard information: 
Jack is microchipped, vaccinated and neutered. 
 
He is currently in foster in Cheshire, but he can be rehomed anywhere in the UK, pending a successful home visit. However, any adopter should be willing to travel to meet him at least twice where he is now. 
 
There is a non refundable adoption donation of £120 for Jack and all money donated goes directly to helping all the Senior Staffies in our care.
