Please Welcome Col. Potter's Jacques!

Written by a CP Intakes Coordinator

Jacques came to us as an owner surrender from a family that just didn't understand the terrier personality. They had met their first Cairn while camping next to an older couple who had a well mannered older guy. Then came the visit to the backyard breeder for a puppy. Three years later they have a young male who has a high prey drive and is very energetic. He has started to become highly agitated when the teens have their friends over . How many times have we heard this same storyline?

At this point they have given up trying to work with him. Obedience school doesn't help. They don't understand why he isn't settling down like their lab. Jacques got caught up in a family that loved him but didn't understand him and they contacted CP for help. Can we please find him a home that understands his quirky behavior? Through the generous donations of our supporters we can say yes we can help. So begins Jacques new journey. Jacques name is in honor of our Canadian volunteers who stepped up to help this little guy get to his new foster home.

Thank you to Allison S., Geraldina S. and Marian T. in British Columbia.

I also have to thank the ladies in WA who B&B'd this boy so he could get to BC.

Welcome Jacques!

  1. He is so cute. It is so sad that they didn't do their research. Our boys are 3 and we love their craziness and love for life. It's all about enjoying all the stages of their lives just like our own lives. Jacques is a very handsome boy and I hope he finds a home soon,
