Fred is a lively and very friendly 13yo Jack Russell.

He has trust issues at first- he occasionally snaps at a new person, but once he gets to know you he is very affectionate and loving so may need multiple visits for him to get to know you. He doesn’t like being woken up! Perhaps he’s not right for small children.

He belonged to a close friend of mine who died of cancer at the end of November. Stephen gave Fred so much love which he gives back to everyone else. I took care of him while Stephen was in hospital from the end of July until now. I regularly took him up to see Stephen and the Sacred Heart Hospice, and he made his illness bearable. I live in a small flat in Elizabeth Bay, too small for a lively dog. He lived in a flat at Waterloo before then so he is used to apartment living. But i can’t take care of Fred permanently- I took him on as a favour to a dying friend. I will be very sorry to lose him.

He loves his walks, he is well house trained, he’s used to living in a flat but i’m sure he’ll enjoy a yard. He licks and nuzzles you, especially when he wants food. He’s used to the densely populated streets of Kings Cross, but I’m sure he’ll love a bit more room.

He’s been recently vaccinated. He’s not yet registered in my name- that will come through in about a week. He’s very healthy.

Phone Charles 0408928535 if you’re interested in meeting Fred. $100 as a courtesy charge to show you really want him. I want to find him a loving home. I promised my friend Stephen I would do this.
