special home needed

**mop top** · 04-Mar-10, 23:09

Jack is a tan suluki x lurcher puppy aprox 3-4 months old who was picked up as a stray and has not been claimed. He is a very handsome wee boy a bit on the skinny side but very sociable and loves to play with other dogs. He currently living with his foster mum and socialising well with kids and his foster sister a black lab. He is almost house trained and not a chewer, but he is a lively puppy and loves playing although he does eventually collapse when tired out. Would love him to go to a home where he had the company of another dog and to someone with experience of hound types or willing to learn lol. There is someone out with Caithness potentially interested in Jack but just thought i would post about him on here in case anyone in Caithness has room in their hearts or home for him. Home checks will be done and references from vet etc would be needed. If you are interested in giving Jack a forever home then please get in touch on 01955 607735 or 01955 607737.

thanks for looking

He sounds like he could be a stunner from his breeding. Does he have a long coat?

I hope he gets a loving forever home soon - whether it be in Caithness or not, just as long as he is loved and cared for.

If I could talk the other half into us having a dog ................

(Dream on!)

Best of luck to you Jack. Now that Anne is involved, you will get a cracker of a home (which you deserve)

I hope Jack gets a forever home asap.

Hi Evelyn

Glad you met Jack and his foster mum, your right he is a gorgeous boy and having the time of her life since moving in there. He has come on leaps and bounds now that he has been wormed and is living in a loving family enviroment with a routine and regular food and cuddles he is going to make someone a lovely pet and fingers crossed he is on his way to his new home on Monday.

Hi Nibbler

His coat is not long at the moment but very soft looks as if he may well have silky ears and feathers on his legs and tail. He is a rich red colour and his face has a lovely creamy coloured mask with a smoky grey edge to it and his tail is also a smoky grey colour, he has a very aristocratic look about him with his long nose lol. He certainly is going to be a stunner. I would love to keep him as well but hopefully he is on his way to his new home on Monday fingers crossed.

Oh he sounds like my DREAM dog! Sadly I have no room at the moment

**teenybash** · 07-Mar-10, 19:58

Jack sounds an absolute delight and I hope he finds a wonderful home with someone who will love him forever. good luck Jack.

Thank Christ for that, I'm pished and liable to do something stupid at the moment......

Sadly Jack's potential new home has fallen through and for various reasons ie financial etc the person who was going to take him has decided that she is not able to have him although happy to foster does not want the responsibility of a dog of her own. I respect this decision and wish more people were as sensible as this before embarking on getting a dog and then realising after a few months that they really were not in a position to do so.

Anyway i am in the position now that Jacks 7 days are up and his clock has started ticking as most of you know the council are only obliged to keep them for 7 days and then they are either rehomed or put to sleep

. So please everyone put you thinking caps on and if you know anyone who could offer Jack a loving forever home Get in touch asap either via pm or on 01955607735 or 01955607737.

cheers anne
