06/01/2019: Sweet Jack came into UYR six months ago from a local shelter where he was picked up as a stray - he was very malnourished and full of fleas. He had bilateral eye infections and his coat was very thin and flaky, in addition to a growth on the top of his head which needed to be removed. He also badly needed a dental. Jack had not been cared for in the recent past and this was obvious. This little boy needed more care than the shelter was able to give to him, and they reached out to UYR to see if we would bring him into our foster Care Program. We said YES!

Jack is totally deaf and severely vision-impaired, but such a sweet and calm little boy who is house-trained and loves to go for walks and especially loves meal-time. Jack is otherwise healthy and got along with the other dogs in his foster home, all the humans, and even the kitty cats. But months went by and no one was interested in adopting this precious little senior fella due to his special needs. A perfect placement became available in a Senior Retirement Home and Sanctuary where Jack would be loved by all the volunteers who visit daily and he would be surrounded with other little senior dogs who could understand his special needs since they all had special needs, too. Jack went to his forever Retirement Home today and has a lifetime sponsor to help with any future medical expenses. Lucky Jack! He can lounge in the many beds and chairs that are all so comfy and never have another worry in his retirement! Jack couldn't be happier with his new digs and roommates. Have a Happy Life Little Man!
