Floyd – 10 year old male Jack Russell Terrier cross West Highland Terrier
Floyd is a very sweet 10 year old JRT cross Westie who came into Oldies Club care when his owner could no longer care for him. Floyd is in an Oldies Club foster home in Northampton, waiting for someone to offer him a permanent home.
Settled quickly; Fine to be left: Floyd settled at his foster home within about 10 minutes! He’s fine to be left and has been left up to 5 hours with his foster carer’s dog. He could possibly live with full-time workers, with a break halfway through the day, but in this situation he would be happiest if he had a doggy friend for company.
Good with dogs and cats: Floyd has been wonderful with every dog he’s met. He’s used to living with cats and has happily curled up with his foster carer’s mum’s cat.
Could live with respectful children aged 6 plus: Floyd has been wonderful with the 6 and 9 year old children at his foster home – even through the excitement of Christmas. Floyd should be fine to live with well-trained children aged 6 years plus, but they must respect the fact that Floyd is an older boy and needs to be left alone to sleep and have quiet time to himself when he wants it.
Good on walks: Floyd is a little excitable at first on walks but calms very quickly. He does not pull. He’s not been off lead in an open space but he recalls well in the garden. He’s only been having short potters whilst in foster care but he’s capable of longer walks.
OK in the car: Floyd has only had one long car journey whilst in foster. He panted quite a lot but didn’t bark or show any other signs of distress.
Floyd’s favourite pastimes: Sleeping, and playing with toys.
Floyd’s perfect home: Floyd should suit most homes, but he would love to have the company of not-too-young children! Foster carer’s summary of Floyd: “Easy, endearing, funny, cheerful. Probably the easiest foster dog I’ve ever had, and there have been many! Floyd has totally changed my view on terriers.”
High praise indeed for little Floyd!
Health notes: Floyd is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, wormed and flea-treated. The only vet treatment he has needed is some ointment for a rash on his ears
