About Jack
Meet Jack, a charming Jack Russell Terrier cross Maltese who embodies the perfect balance of laid-back and loving. At approximately 12 years old, Jack is in his golden years and cherishes the simple pleasures of life. He's looking for a quiet home where he can enjoy a comfortable, relaxed lifestyle and share companionship with his new family.
Jack's maturity makes him an ideal companion for those seeking a low-maintenance pet who doesn't require strenuous exercise or constant attention. He enjoys gentle strolls when the mood strikes but is equally content curling up in a cozy spot to soak up the warmth and affection from his people. His independent spirit means he's perfectly happy lounging at home while you go about your day.
As an older dog, Jack has a heart full of love to give and wisdom gained over the years. He possesses a gentle, easygoing demeanor that makes him easy to bond with. Jack is ready to be your loyal companion, offering endless comfort and companionship while asking for very little in return. If you are looking for a loving and independent friend to spend your days with, Jack is patiently waiting to meet you and become a cherished member of your family.
Medical notes
Grade 3-4 heart murmur, grade 3 dental disease will benefit from clean and scale in future. Will need assessment of heart condition +/- medication.
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.
