About Jack Wintergreen
Jack is an older boy who is young at heart and very eager to make you happy. Like most Fox Terriers, he has a big personality and for his age is energetic. He has quickly learned how to use a doggy door, how to sit when asked, and how to wait for his bowl. He is house-trained and well mannered, though sometimes his enthusiasm can make him forget not to pull on the lead or check out other dogs when on his walk. He really loves his walks, which are needed every day, as well as playing fetch and rope-tug in the back yard. And he really loves meeting and playing with other dogs!
Jack is a gentle, affectionate boy and a true snuggle bug. He loves to sit on your lap, give you little smooches and cuddle you on the couch, and really loves being tucked into bed with a blanket and a chin rub.
We think Jack would be best suited to a home where at least one human is around a lot of the time, or where he has another dog for company. He happily shared his previous home with a cat, but he would benefit from the stimulation and comfort of another dog.
Most of the most of the time Jack just wants pats and cuddles. A short walk around a couple of blocks and he is fast asleep. Breakfast time is really exciting and therefore he likes a nap after meals, though only a power nap as life is way too exciting now there is another dog and toys to play with. He is very curious of his new world and likes to check everything out. He just loves to do activities with his humans and be involved in their day, not to mention he loves cuddles with the current female dog.
We have put his age at 10 plus but we are really not sure. We do know he has missed out on a lot in his life and to have toys and a dog to play with is not something he has experienced before hence his wanting to experience as much as he can every day.
If you want a real little personality who will be a very loving and active addition to your family, Jack would be the perfect guy.
Jack Wintergreen is located in Bendigo.

Adoption details
We are a community fostercare network, not a shelter, and our dogs and cats are cared for in private homes. Note that we are very careful where we rehome our dogs and cats and we have an intensive process. If you want a quick turnaround we are not the group for you. If you seem like a good match for the dog of your choice we will organise a telephone chat, a meet and greet and a property check. We offer a six-week full refund, free assistance for six weeks for any issues, and a lifetime takeback policy with a fifty percent refund of the adoption fee, and of course an invitation to our adopters’ Christmas party.
We care for our dogs and cats and we want you too as well. We know that genuine applicants have no trouble with this process and understand that if we refuse you a dog or cat, it is because you are not the best match for that pet.
Our commitment to the dogs and cats in our care is total and we treat each one as if we are passing on a family pet. This may not suit you so we point out that there are equally great dogs and cats available in pounds, shelters and with other rescue groups.
