Meet Jack

Meet Jack ?? Jack is a handsome, approximately 5-year-old pup with a mysterious past and a heart that's ready to belong to someone special. While we don't know where he came from, it's clear that Jack is eager to form a strong bond with his person. Jack does experience some separation anxiety, so he's looking for a homebody or someone who's around more often than not. He is currently on Prozac to help manage his separation anxiety, and it has been part of his ongoing progress. In return for your patience and consistency, Jack will reward you with loyalty, enthusiasm, and plenty of personality. If you've been gone a little too long, don't worry Jack will happily give you the third degree when you walk through the door ?? This smart guy loves his daily walks and has become a master puzzler when treats are involved. Mental stimulation is right up his alley! Jack can be a bit timid at first (we suspect due to his past), but once he warms up, his silly, playful side really shines. Jack is also a little unsure about hardwood and tile floors and is currently not comfortable going down basement steps. With patience, encouragement, and time, he may continue to build confidence in new environments. When it comes to other dogs, Jack needs slow, proper introductions. We are currently working with a trainer to help him feel more comfortable around other dogs, and he is making progress with guidance and structure. Jack is a bit of an escape artist and will look for opportunities to dash out the door, so a secure home with a privacy fence is strongly recommended. For this reason, a home without young children would be the best fit. Jack is best suited for someone patient, understanding, and committed to continuing his training and confidence-building. If you're looking for a loyal walking buddy with a goofy streak and a big personality, Jack just might be your perfect match. ?? **All Shelter to Home animals are fully vetted per their age.
