JAZZ –
aged nearly 10 years, is another boy who came into rescue through no fault of his own. He had lived his life happily with five other Rough Collies and their owners in the North-West of the country. Unfortunately, the wife and main carer died after a short illness and the family decided that they had to find good new homes for the collies.
After losing Claude, we immediately thought of his owners as a suitable home for Jazz as he was an entire male and Kara had, we knew now, been spayed. Arrangements were made and Jazz was collected and taken to his new home down South in January, 2014. He settled very well, making a big fuss of Kara, who wasn’t so keen on his advances and told him so, to which he accepted this and they are now the best of buddies, although Kara is certainly in charge !!
A veterinary check gave him a clean bill of health, no arthritis, no visual problems, but some dental work needed as his teeth had quite a bit of tartar on them and the gums were beginning to show signs of inflammation. This dental clean-up with be done shortly.
Although “under Kara’s paw” to begin with, after a week he is beginning to “find his paws” and sneaking onto Kara’s sofa and chair when she is not looking. They get on very well together, and love nothing more than going for long walks in the park, playing in the house and garden and of course. lots and lots of cuddles.
