Toby is an adorable 15 year old Jack Russell Terrier boy who is in an Oldies Club foster home near Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, waiting for someone to offer him a quiet permanent home to snooze in. Loves to have company: We were told by Toby’s previous family that he was fine to be left on his own for a while. His foster carers haven’t had cause to leave Toby since he came into rescue, but they feel that he would fret if left on his own as he cries if no-one is close by. They therefore recommend that Toby goes to a home where he will rarely need to be left, especially as he needs to go out for wees quite often. He stands in front of you, giving you a hard stare, to let you know he wants to go out.
Toby would like a home where he is your only dog and where there are no cats. Toby has never lived with children, and it is probably a little late in his life for him to begin to do so, but he would be fine about having older children visit his home. He was good with teenage girls that visited his foster home for the day. Toby only likes short walks – about 20-30 minutes twice per day. Once he has tinkled or had a poo, he wants to return home. He really doesn’t like the cold, bless him. He is good on the lead and, as he is deaf, he always stays on his lead on walks.
Toby likes to sleep for most of the day. He loves his little cushion to sleep on and has two blankets for warmth. And when he’s not snoozing, he enjoys looking out of the window. He also enjoys greeting visitors at the door. At night he likes to be tucked up before his foster carers go to bed – it’s part of his routine, and they keep the heating on for him all the time. Toby doesn’t know how to play with toys but he loves having his ear scratched and a stroke.
Toby is used to living as an only dog with an elderly person and so he is not used to being around other dogs and he doesn’t seem to like them, except for a little dachshund he once met. Toby does have a bad back so perhaps he is frightened of being hurt by other dogs. Toby simply wants to be cosseted. He’d be ideal for a retired person or couple who can give him regular short walks; someone with time and patience who will keep him warm and give him lots of tender loving care. As he only has a few teeth, his new owners must be happy to feed him soft meat, cut up small, two meals per day. He will need a garden and would probably enjoy pottering in and out on warm days.
Toby is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea treated. He is deaf and has cataracts. Toby has had a dental and has very few teeth left. He takes daily Metacam for spondylitis.
