About Jack
Introducing the charming Jack, a delightful Kelpie mix with a heart of gold. Aged at five years, the depth of his love for people is matched only by the gentleness of his nature.
Often a bit shy in the face of new surroundings and unfamiliar faces, Jack likes to take his time feeling out his environment and forming trust in new people. Once he feels comfortable, his timidity melts away to reveal a loyal friend who finds joy in long, loving pats. He earns his trust through patience and reward, so if you're ready to offer him some patience, he promises years of unquestionable loyalty in return.
Jack's ideal family would be one without other dogs, as he can sometimes find their company a bit overwhelming. He prefers a more calm and peaceful environment where he can relax in serenity. With his quiet nature and quaint cuddly streak, Jack is the perfect companion for anyone seeking a sweet, placid friend who offers comfort simply by being near.
In Jack, you'll find a tender soul brimming with love to give, and his cautious, loving character will prove to be a valuable addition to any household. If your home offers a quiet environment with room for a pretty special pooch, Jack might just be the perfect pal you've been waiting for!
Adoption details
We are not open to walk ins, appointments by booking only. All households members must be present before we can adopt an animal out.
As our goal is to adopt animals out from the shelter into loving homes as fast as possible, multiple bookings may be made for the same animal.
We are not able to hold any animals for any reason.
As such, there is a possibility that the animal you may have found a forever home before your appointment. If this is the case we will inform you by phone call as soon as possible.
