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 just underwent surgery and is recovering at Animal Haven (his photos show him pre-surgery!) Dogs typically adapt well to tripod life, and we're hopeful that Jack will be the same. Jack is otherwise an extremely sweet and snuggly dog. Adopt Jack!
