Vince is a charming little 14-year-old male Jack Russell Terrier who is in an Oldies Club foster home in Northampton, waiting for someone to offer him a permanent home. Vince took about a week to settle in at his foster home. Vince loves to have company and needs a home with people around most of the time. You can pop out for an hour for a shopping trip, but that’s about his limit.
Vince hasn’t had a lot of interaction with other dogs since coming into rescue but we were told that he used to live with another dog and is generally OK with other dogs. As he is an old chap he wouldn’t want to be around young, bouncy dogs and would be happiest as an only dog receiving lots of TLC.
Vince needs a cat-free home. Vince would prefer a quiet home but would be fine with visiting older children. Vince enjoys very short on-lead walks to have a bit of a sniff around. He has a stroller that he uses for outings. He had a cruciate ligament operation 10 years ago which was only partially successful and this has affected his walking ability. He doesn’t have good recall and has very limited sight, so he needs to stay on the lead to keep him safe.
The ideal would be ground level accommodation with retired people who are fit enough to lift him in and out of his stroller and on to the furniture for a cuddle. He can manage one step but would have to be carried upstairs.
Vince is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and has been wormed and flea treated. Vince had his right eye removed in 2016 and his left eye is cloudy but he can see. He has two lots of eye drops 4 times a day (Latanaprost and Brinzolmide) and these will be ongoing. He is having a high fibre diet with occasional addition of chicken. His walking is restricted due to the ligament issue and failed operation. No other health issues were found at his recent vet check.
