13-08-25 Jack is a very sweet Cavalier who has come to us from his breeder in search of a fresh start.

He’s a curious and inquisitive boy, full of character and charm. Despite his constant tail-wagging, Jack is easy to handle and always happy to join us for a bit of attention.

At the moment, Jack is feeling a little unsure and finds comfort in the company of his kennel friends. We feel it would be best for him to be rehomed with another dog for support and companionship. That said, we’ll continue to assess his confidence while he’s with us to see if he could adapt to being an only dog.

As Jack has never lived in a home before, he’ll need to learn the basics of home life, including toilet training. This transition is usually much easier with a resident dog around to show him the ropes.

Jack can already walk nicely on a lead, so once he’s settled, he’ll enjoy one or two walks around the neighbourhood with his new canine companion.

Jack has arrived a little underweight but with good nutrition he should start to fill out. He also has some lip fold dermatitis around his lower jaw. Our vets noted that when Jack walks he twists his hips slightly and there is also some asymmetry of his back legs. He has been checked by a specialist vet who has said that his hips are fine, but there is some muscle wastage and so with gentle exercise and as his muscle tone increases, this should start to improve. He has advised that he may benefit from having physio in his new home and this will need to continue to be monitored by his adopters and their vet.

With his lovely nature and winning personality, Jack is already proving to be a favourite here at the rescue. We’re sure it won’t be long before he wins someone’s heart.
