About Jack& Jill
Meet Jack & Jill, a bonded pair of 13-year-old Shetland Sheepdogs looking for a quiet, loving home together. Jack is the gentler, easygoing brother with a heart condition that is managed with monthly medication and check-ups; he manages his needs calmly and sweetly. Jill is more reserved at first, but once she lets her guard down, she is tender and loyal. Both wear doggie diapers like many older pups and rely on regular let-outs to stay comfortable—they take it in stride and never let it dim their spirits. Jack & Jill are low-maintenance, affectionate, and enjoy a slow-paced life. Their bond is obvious: they’re rarely apart and find comfort in each other’s company. These seniors are house companions at heart, well-mannered and undemanding, happy to curl up together in any soft spot you offer. They get along with cats, dogs, and children, making them an easy fit for the right family. If you have a soft spot for seniors, Jack & Jill hope you’ll welcome double the love into your home.
