About Sid
Introducing Sid, a lovable senior Jack Russell Terrier! Sid is a distinguished gentleman at 11 years young, with plenty of love to give to his new family. He's seeking a calm and peaceful environment to live out his golden years, filled with rest, relaxation, and plenty of affection.
Sid is looking to be your one-and-only pet, as he enjoys being the center of attention. He may get along with a cat out of necessity, but ideally, he wants all eyes and loving hands on him alone, without any other pets to share your affection. While he's certainly sociable with humans, he does prefer more tranquil surroundings, free from the hustle and bustle of other animals.
As is the case with many older canines, Sid has a few dental issues that may require further attention from a veterinarian. As such, Sid presently maintains a diet of wet food to accommodate his teeth. While it's a minor adjustment, we promise all those cute grins and happy tail wags will make it worthwhile!
Despite his mature years, Sid still is quite spry and enjoys short walks and extended snuggle sessions. His perfect day wouldn't be complete without a good scratch behind the ears and a warm place to curl up next to you. If you lead a quiet lifestyle and are looking for an undemanding and affectionate companion to share your days with, Sid might just be waiting to steal your heart.

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.
