About Jack

Jack is single and looking for a new adventure—just not with other men in the house. He thrives in a female-only home and serves as a loyal, easygoing buddy. Twelve years old but still sharp, Jack walks well on leash, relaxes outside, and settles in for TV time or long naps without fuss. This senior is both kennel and house trained, so you'll skip the headaches that sometimes come with younger dogs. All his vaccines are current, he's microchipped, and you won't need to catch up on flea, tick, or heartworm prevention. Jack is neutered and comes ready to integrate smoothly. He gets along with cats but would rather not share space with children. Jack fits well for someone looking for a companion who asks little but gives a lot—just as long as you’re female.
