Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Spinks is a very gentle, sweet and lovable, long and lean, 10-year-old, 10-pound, male Jack Russell Terrier-mix looking for a loving guardian.
Spinks is not only good with other dogs, he’s also great with people. He lets anyone pick him up and carry him around.
He will also climb right into anyone’s lap for a snuggle with a wag of his little tail. He doesn’t have much interest in toys, but he’ll dance for a treat.
Spinks lost his original home when his human died and none of the other family members could keep him.
Spinks is a healthy senior, up-to-date on vaccines, neutered, and could benefit from a dental in the near future. To meet and possibly adopt Spinks, please fill in the on-line adoption application at http://famousfidorescue.com/rescueforms/machform/view.php?id=26727 and follow up by contacting Gloria at fido@famousfidorescue.com or 773.907-0305. His adoption fee of $250 benefits the rescued pets of Famous Fido’s.
Spinks is currently staying at rescue headquarters at 5430 N. Clark Street in Chicago’s Andersonville neighborhood. The rescue is moving next month and it would be wonderful if Spinks could find a loving home before that!
