Meet Jack the Collie Mix. In April 2010 I was working as a volunteer at Carrick Dog Shelter in Monaghan. There were so many dogs and I just couldn't leave without adopting one of these lovely dogs! After a few walks with Jack I just felt that "this is my dog". I talked with my family back home in Sweden and they said OK. I was so happy! In May he came to me at Arlanda, the airport in Stockholm, in a cage on a forklift. He looked terrified but he became himself very quickly and I think he recognized me from Ireland.

Well done... a true dog lover who takes him all the way home... he looks uber athletic and is having a fantastic time... you have given him his mojo back no doubt... have a happy life Jack.

Hi, well done to you. We remember Jack in Carrick as we visit as often as we can and have a number of rescues from there. He is one lucky dog and looks so happy. Thank you so much for all you do. It's a pity more people in Ireland are not as humane as the people from Sweden.

Jack became best friends with our other dog at home, a cavalier called George. Jack and George now play together every day. Jack's passion is balls and we used a ball to teach him to swim, which he loves as you can see from his pictures.
