8/11/08 Poor little Jack has very sadly passed away today. Our thoughts are with his foster family who cared for him so well in his time of need. Rest in peace, Jack.

Jack is a 12-13 year old Patterdale Terrier boy who is currently in the care of an Oldies Club foster home in Fulham, London. Jack found himself looking for a new home when his owner sadly passed away.
This is what his foster family have to say about him:
Jack is a distinguished, older gentleman who loves to snooze the day away and is so appreciative of having some company. He is a proud, mature gent who suffers great embarrassment if he needs a little hand getting up the stairs or climbing into the car.
Although Jack doesn’t live with other dogs and only meets my mum’s younger bitch when she visits, he is learning to like other little dogs and has even mustered up enough energy to have a play!
Jack thoroughly enjoys a gentle stroll in the park and can be rather protective if anyone approaches; I am convinced that he says to passing dogs “Back off, they’re with me!”
He loves being chauffeured around in the car and is happy to lay his head wherever his bed is!
Jack is a perfect pensioner and a darling little companion and he will make a perfect friend for someone who is at home most of the time.
Due to Jack being elderly and arthritic, we wouldn’t recommend a home with young children, but teenagers should be ok and Jack would prefer to be the only dog. Jack can’t live with cats or other small animals.
Have you got what it takes to give our distinguished and proud old gentleman a second chance in life?
Jack is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped and flea and worm treated. He has also had a dental and due to his arthritis he will have to remain on Metacam for the rest of his life.
Please consider sponsoring Jack to help us give him the very best care for the final chapter of his life.
