JACK

Jack is a 2-3 year old Golden Retriever. After arriving in the UK, Jack was fostered in Shrewsbury. His fosterer said.

"Jack loves Attingham Park. He was a little naughty this morning, pulling etc and is very full on with other dogs, but is friendly. We met a 15 year old GR who fancies him for a toy boy! He thinks cows are amazing, he has never seen such big dogs.

He was good in the National Trust Shop and didn't pee on anything. We had a cuppa at the end and he sat down and then lay down by my side watching all the workers putting up a big tent!"

JACK HAS GONE TO HIS FOREVER HOME

Jack has gone to live with Katie-louise and Rich in Derbyshire where he has settled in wonderfully and has become a much loved member of the family.

JACK'S STORY FROM HIS NEW HOME

After a long drive Jack is finally in his new forever home and has settled down really wanting to play with a ball after a good sniff around in his new home and he soon fell asleep on his back next to his bed!

Jack is doing really well. Had him almost two week and been as good as gold in his home and already he loves all the attention he’s getting and he loves training with his parents. He is a really quick learner! Jack loves his daily walk though does needs a lot of work outside and does tend to pull a lot and doesn’t listen at all when it comes to other cats and dog and especially squirrels. We are working on his pulling trying to get him to heel with a new Haiti. He also needs a bit of work on meeting other dogs. Jack tends to bark a lot though he has done really well with Lucy and Prince.

Also we have been trying to leave Jack on his own and at the moment he doesn’t seem to take it well. He does have a bit of an anxiety with that.

We had Jack just over a month now – he has become so attached to us and is our big baby. He has made us so happy and he is a big part of our life and we do like to spoil him.

He is so much better on his halti and is now best friends with Oscar & Lady (Katie-Louise's parent’s dogs) and is also getting better with other dogs he meets. He doesn’t bark at much as he used to though there are time we do have to remind him. He also learnt how to roll over!

Jack has got now has his own dog trainer from Bark Buster UK that comes every so often and is doing really well. We are currently working on his recall which is so much better it shouldn’t be long till he's allowed off his lead.

“Richard and I would like to say big thanks to Irish Retriever Rescue for letting us adopt Jack and Jack would also like to say thanks to his foster parents Chrissie and Chris for looking after him while he was looking for his forever home”
