RSPCA York is looking for a new home for Jango, a Kelpie

Jango is a 12-year-old female Kelpie who was admitted to RSPCA York Animal Home on January 9 after her owner was not meeting her needs.

She is neutered and described as a sweet, super-friendly ‘older lady’ who was in “quite a poor state” when she was rescued by an RSPCA inspector and taken to the centre on Landing Lane in York.

Always keen to say hello, she loves nothing more than curling up on the sofa and enjoying plenty of snuggles.

Ruth McCabe, aninal centre manager, said: “Jango is one of the sweetest, most gentle dogs you will ever meet. She has been through so much, yet she remains incredibly loving and trusting of people. We would love for her to find a home where she can spend her twilight years knowing she is truly loved and cared for.”

Recommended reads:

She enjoys going out and walks well on a lead, but does not need a lot of exercise, preferring instead a couple of shorter strolls throughout the day.

More than anything, Jango would love a cosy home where she can relax and soak up all the love and attention she deserves.

Jango requires a special diet as she has very early stage kidney disease which is being successfully managed through diet alone and she does not require any medication.

She is otherwise well and has a lot of love to give.

Jango has previously lived with other dogs and could share her new home with a compatible dog of a similar age.

She can feel a little worried around younger, bouncy dogs, so would prefer a calm, older companion if she were to live with another dog.

She would be suitable to live with children aged 10 years and over.
