About Jacko - ID 45913
Jacko is a personable and active Greyhound who has been socialising with a mixture of dogs. He can get excitable at times but this is also showing his very affectionate side. He has some toilet training skills. Jacko will need some further lead training as he is a large Greyhound he can be initially strong on lead. Jacko has no experience with children and must go to a home with no small dogs, cats or pocket pets.
Medical notes
Osteoarthritis
At the time of adoption, I have been made aware that the animal which I am adopting may get arthritis in the future due to an old fracture in his front left front leg. I have been advised that arthritis (also referred to as osteoarthritis of degenerative joint disease) occurs when there is pain and inflammation in an animal’s joint/s. This occurs naturally, with age, as the joint material (cartilage) deteriorates and becomes less flexible. A number of factors may, however, accelerate this process, including, but not limited to, trauma/injury, dislocation, infection and an animal being overweight.
Staff have explained that there are a number of treatment options available to help make my pet more comfortable and minimise pain. I have been advised to always consult with a veterinarian prior to commencing a new treatment/product.
I hereby understand and accept the above information and agree to complete this adoption. I also acknowledge and accept that all of the arthritis treatment and care required for this animal is to be purchased at my own expense and that Geelong Animal Welfare Society are not liable for any costs associated with arthritis treatment/care for this animal.
