Meet Jack Jack

If you’re looking for a happy, fun-loving sidekick, Jack Jack might be your perfect match! He’s a friendly, outgoing pup who loves being part of the action—whether that means chasing a frisbee, going for a walk, or squeezing into your lap for some quality cuddle time. He's an 8-year-old Boston Terrier who weighs 26.2 pounds. Jack Jack has been diagnosed with lumbosacral disease and may also have Intervertebral Disc Disease (IVDD), which can affect the spine. Because of this, he has some ataxia, meaning his gait can be a bit wobbly at times. The good news is that he is comfortable and not currently in pain, and he gets around just fine in his day-to-day life. Jack Jack is mostly house-trained, though a belly band can help when he’s roaming the house. He tolerates his crate just fine, but his true preference is snuggling up in bed with his humans at night. This playful guy enjoys toys, a good game of fetch or frisbee, and romping around with his canine pals. He does well with other dogs and has been great with children, including his foster’s youngest human sibling who is 8. Cats, however, are not his thing, so he’ll need a cat-free home. While a fenced yard isn’t required, it would definitely be a dream for him to have a safe place where he can zoom around and burn off some of that happy energy. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, keep you company, and always be ready for the next adventure (or cuddle), Jack Jack might be your guy! His minimum adoption fee is $300 plus a $15 fee, if 4 months or older, for rabies registration for McLean County residents. He has been neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, heartworm checked, dewormed, and is on flea and heartworm preventatives.
