Jack was rescued from the side of a road in St. Lucia, where he was found limping badly. He was scooped up and brought to the safety of HelpAWS’ sanctuary, where he received initial care. Emaciated and scared, Jack finally knew safety—and despite everything he’d been through, he was gentle and trusting.
Shortly after arriving from Animal Haven, Jack received a full veterinary workup. Our veterinary team found that Jack had an old fracture in his back right leg, and determined that amputation would give him the best shot at a pain-free life. Jack underwent surgery and made a full recovery, adjusting well to life with just three legs.
Jack is an extremely sweet and loving dog, who adores people. He has been a bit selective around other dogs, which is not uncommon in a shelter environment. We think he would do best as an only dog, and may also prefer a home without young children. Adopt Jack!
