Jack's Care

For Jack's 10th birthday- he was pulled from the shelter his family dumped him at and with the help of many kind transport drivers, he came into Illinois Birddog Rescue's care. We have been very happy to help many seniors in our 20 year history, and he is our latest special little guy. His paperwork says he is a beagle mix and I would guess he might have a little chihuahua in him too. He is 22lbs and so sweet.

Jack has a terrible skin infection/dermatitis that could have also been complicated by food allergies. His ears are also crusty. He will be having many medicated shampoos during the week and we have already started treating his ears. We also started him on doxycycline and cephalexin and that will help with any underlying tick borne disease and also to help with the skin infection. In a few months he is going to look great!!

Jack is doing really well in foster care and should have a full recovery.

Once fully recovered we hope to find him the perfect forever home so that he can live out his golden years with unconditional love!! We'd love your support for his care so that we can continue to help other senior dogs in need.
