Alf - 4 year old male Parson's Jack Russell
Alf, Parson's Jack Russell, DOB 07 – Chertsey, Surrey
Homing Requirements: Alf needs an active life to support his energy needs. He needs time to be gradually socialised with dogs outside to help him to become less intense on meeting. Can be left for periods. Adaptable to family circumstances and composition.
His Story: Alf had only himself for his first 4 years of life! Never been to the vet and lived in a town environment and was left during the working day in the garden and a kennel. He arrived into rescue as his owner had been made homeless and was living in her van. We are homing him for another rescue in Kent. Recently vax'd, chipped and neutered.
Advert: Alf is a great Jack Russell who is accomplished in many respects. No problems when left, house trained and played with visiting grandchildren aged 6 years plus. Enjoyed being bathed and groomed. Likes playing chase with balls – toys left on floor. Fine to take food and toys away from him. Not let off lead except in secure area as rarely comes back and will chase rabbits. Alf lived with a cat for 6 months with no problem. He could, with initial settling, live with a dog friendly cat again. With other dogs on lead he whines, gets over excited and humps. Friendly and very excited meeting people. Fine to travel and lived in van for a while. His owner left his food down all day and walked him once a day.
Alf is 4 years old and so very settled in his own skin. A great companion, who relishes company but also tolerates his own very well. He needs an active lifestyle to deploy his energy. Alf hasn't lived with children but neither has he had any issues with them either fine with visiting grandchildren. Versatile!

***PLEASE NOTE: We are a rescue finding dogs their forever homes. We usually ask for a minimum donation of £150 at the time of adoption, for each dog, to help us continue helping homeless dogs***.
