“We won’t give up on Jay” ❤️️
Jay was brought in by the RSPCA in January 2021 after his family was unable to care for him, and the shelter workers instantly fell in love with him. He has a large, funny personality that keeps everyone smiling all the time. Unfortunately, it’s been quite difficult to locate Jay a new permanent home – and this is due in part to his appearance.
Jay suffers from severe allergies, which are common in his breed, and they have left him nearly entirely hairless. He may not look like the other fluffy dogs at the shelter, but he has just as much love to give, and the shelter staff is hopeful that someone will fall in love with his wonderfully distinctive face.
“Jay is such a tiny character, and while he may be small, he certainly makes up for it in personality,” RSPCA spokesperson Carmen Cole said in a news statement. “We truly hope that someone out there will be able to see past his lack of hair and realize that he has a lot of love to share.”
The 9-year-old puppy has now been without a home for almost 400 days. Even though no one has come to claim him, his shelter buddies remain hopeful that his new forever family is out there someplace.
Jay has certain specific desires for his future house due to health difficulties and other things. He need a family that would maintain him on a particular diet and assist him in adhering to his medicine regimen. He’d want to live in an adult-only household with no other pets so he may be the focus of attention at all times. He would also prefer a fenced-in yard and a home with concrete floors rather than carpeted floors since dust mites aggravate his allergies.
“We realize it will be difficult to locate a home that meets all of Jay’s requirements, and we appreciate that the cost of his continuous care may deter individuals,” Cole added. “But we’re not giving up on Jay; he’s a fiery character, a cheeky chappie with oodles of charm, and he has expensive taste – but being this cute doesn’t come cheap!” It takes a lot of effort to look as wonderful as he does, and he deserves the best.”
The ideal home for adorable little Jay exists, and maybe he’ll find one soon.
“He is such a darling and will make such a lovely pet or friend for the right person,” Cole added.
