About Jack

Jack is a high-energy, playful dog who thrives on activity and fun. He's been waiting for an active family with plenty of space for him to run and play. Jack absolutely loves a game of fetch—especially with his favorite soft toys—and he’s quick to show off how he can sit for a treat. He takes snacks gently and enjoys nearly any kind of treat offered. Jack’s a great sport in the backyard, staying close while he plays and never wandering away. He hasn’t had much freedom inside the house yet, so full house training isn’t confirmed, though he never soils his crate. Because Jack loves to run, he upgraded to a bigger kennel and now shares it with his buddy Sean. The two entertain each other for hours, and Jack would love if someone could bring them both home together. Jack handles crowds and excitement well—he marched in a Christmas parade, mingles calmly at the farmer’s market, and stays chill around barking dogs. Jack was born December 31st, which makes him a determined Capricorn. Your new best friend is just one click away.
