*This animal is a part of our “Seniors for Seniors” program where we offer senior adopters an opportunity to adopt an eligible pet at a discounted fee.*
Captain Jack loves cuddling under the blankets and being carried everywhere with his person. I work from home and he just wants to sit in my lap all day while I work. He's quiet all day long unless I have to crate him.. he doesn't like being left alone in his crate but will quiet down after awhile as long as nobody is home. Captain Jack is deaf so he also won't notice when you do get home. He also likes lounging out in the hot sun. He's just a chill old man looking to relax.
Adopting a senior dog is like getting a vintage car – it comes with character, a few extra quirks, and might need a bit more maintenance. Expect occasional tune ups at the vet for oil changes (aka meds), and embrace the fact that those 'normal lumps and bumps' are just part of the well-earned charm package! Ruff Start will share all known health information with adopters and rec ommendations to keep your senior dog in top shape.
If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application. An adoption application is the best way to show your interest in an animal and is not a binding contract.
To learn more about Ruff Start’s adoption process and the care our foster animals receive, please visit our How to Adopt page.
If you are unable to adopt but want to help this animal and others in our care, you can donate to support the medical and veterinary needs of all Ruff Start Rescue animals.
