Today I dedicate my blog to one of my canine comrades. His name is Jack.  He and I are nothing alike, but he finds himself in a tough situation, and we dogs like to stick together. The truth of it is that Jack does not even realize the trouble that he's in.
Jack lost a very important member of his pack earlier this year. Jack's dad died suddenly of a heart problem, that he had apparently been born with, but that no one knew about until after his death.  But Jack did not just lose his dad that day. Part of Jack's mom died that day too.  Of course, she still walked around and fed Jack, took him for walks and scratched his ears, but the warmth that had always fed the pack was gone. Water ran from his mom's eyes day in and day out, and Jack waited patiently for the mother he once knew to return. 
Recently, some of the joy that Jack remembered showed up in her voice. She was talking into the machine on her ear and speaking of 'moving' and 'starting over'. Jack breathed a sigh of relief that the dark days were coming to an end.
Today, our clinic received a notice: 
Trying to find a home for a Rottweiler named Jack. Due to a death in her family she is relocating out of Florida and the apartment will not accept dogs. Jack would be best suited in a home without children or other pets. He is very loyal, playful and would make an excellent guard dog.


Jack is 3yrs old and neutered. His vaccines are current and has no medical issues. Please view his picture and if you know any one who may be interested contact the owner ASAP as she will be leaving town shortly and if a home is not found will be forced to place him with the humane society.

Mother thought putting Jack's story on the blog might help him out.

My aunt Becky came from a 'rescue place' that had a great motto:  You can't change the world by rescuing one dog, but you can change the world for that dog.

If anyone knows where Jack might find a happy home, please contact my parents' clinic at 941-423-3503.
