Hi, im helping a friend (who is the foster owner) to put up an adoption notice of this young, now 9 month old schnauzer-terrier cross
Jack's currently at a foster home because his previous owner had some urgent matters at home and therefore needs to have Jack taken away with almost immediate effect.
The current foster owner has deep affections for Jack the first time he saw him and has decided to keep Jack and provide him a home (which was also why he declined all requests from interested adopters the first time Jack was up for adoption).
He has bought Jack to grooming and also a skin check to ascertain that Jack is not suffering from any sort of skin diseases (completely healthy!)
However within the month, it has been observed that the fosterer's other dog at home is EXTREMELY territorial and refuse to give in to Jack in any way, such that Jack will snuggle to the owner whenever possible and too afraid to roam the house by himself. The fosterer feels that this is not going well and definitely should not be the way a puppy like Jack should develop, especially when he use to be such an active dog.
It is with great regret that Jack has to be adopted and he hopes that anyone who is sincere and confident of giving Jack a good home could come forward.
