Description:
Meet Jack!

We are not sure what sort of living conditions Jack came from. He is not completely potty trained and has not had much kind human contact. Usually the best situations for dogs coming from breeders is a stable home without small children, with a fenced yard and another dog to "show him the ropes". We have secured a foster home for Jack to start him along the path to proper training and socialization.

Can you help show this boy how to become a family pet? He'd love you forever!

AN UPDATE FROM JACK'S FOSTER HOME:

Jack is settling into his foster home very well. He follows me around and asks to be petted now and loves to snuggle on the couch. He's very good with my dog and my cats, Jack is just a mellow, laid back guy. He's doing EXCELLENT on housebreaking but might take a little while to unlearn his hormone-related behaviors- since he was just neutered at age 7. He learned right away how to go up and down the stairs and very much likes to be near "the group." He had several teeth pulled when he had his dental last week- but he still eats his regular dog food quite enthusiastically. He was also pretty matted, so he got a haircut and feels much better now. He's an undemanding guy who will be an excellent pet for anyone looking for a sweet, gentle guy who would like nothing more than to snuggle up and live out the rest of his years in a loving, warm home with someone he can show his devotion to. He will likely do better in a home with older, respectful children who can understand that Jack needs GENTLE, not rambunctious love.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
