An “overlooked” roaming dog is desperate to discover a home for his 10th birthday.
Jax was discovered by Dogs Trust Glasgow 2 years ago with really unfamiliar about his previous life.
As with all dogs with unidentified backgrounds, the charity’s veterinarians approximated his age by taking a look at his teeth.
They then picked May as his birthday month so he might take pleasure in a joint birthday with his preferred canine carer, Fionnuala McArdle.
The set commemorated the turning point in style, as Fionnuala took Jax to the Irvine beach where he roamed on the dune smelling the sea air, took pleasure in a doggie paddle and supped on a puppuccino.
As no birthday is total without cake, when Jax went back to Dogs Trust Glasgow rehoming centre, he tucked into a home-made peanut butter cake, made by Fionnuala, prior to excitedly opening his presents.
While Jax enjoyed his birthday events, the group at Dogs Trust hopes this will be his last in their care and watch for a brand-new home for Jax.
He is among Dog Trust’s underdogs, the title provided to a few of our dogs who have actually invested more than 6 months in the charity’s care and are ignored.
Lurchers were the 3rd most popular breed rehomed by Dogs Trust in 2015 with 527 finding caring brand-new houses.
Claire Cairney, Assistant Manager Administration at Dogs Trust Glasgow said: “Fionnuala wanted to ensure Jax had a special day on his birthday as he is so deserving of being spoiled in every way. “He had the best time with presents, cake and his day trip to the beach which could all have been new experiences for him.
“He was such a good boy and enjoyed every moment of his day at the seaside. It was such a lovely thing for Fionnuala to do to spend her birthday with Jax.
“Jax is a very special boy who we all love at Glasgow but sadly he has been overlooked for nearly two years. “Jax can find life a little overwhelming at times so he might not show himself in the best light in kennels but once the bond is made, you have a best friend for life.
“We are looking for committed owners who he can meet a number of times to build a strong bond before leaving the centre.
“He is a smart dog who enjoys learning new tricks and will proudly show off his super skills when he masters something new.
“He enjoys agility and exploring which was confirmed with his trip to Irvine beach. Our birthday wish for Jax is he very soon gets to enjoy many more beach trips with new owners.”
