About Jack Jack

If you're searching for a loyal, upbeat sidekick, Jack Jack is hard to beat. This outgoing Boston Terrier thrives on being where the action is—his idea of a perfect day involves chasing a frisbee, joining you for a walk, or even claiming your lap for dedicated cuddle time. Jack Jack is eight years old and fits squarely in the 'happy-go-lucky companion' category. Diagnosed with lumbosacral disease (and possibly IVDD), Jack Jack can have a wobbly gait now and then but feels comfortable, isn't in pain, and gets around just fine. He's mostly house-trained, though a belly band helps with managing those rare indoor mishaps, especially if he's roaming the house. He tolerates his crate but sleeps best curled up with people at night. Jack Jack likes to play fetch, chomp on toys, and romp with other dogs. He loves children and has done well with kids as young as eight in his foster home. Cats are a hard no for him; he'll need a feline-free home. While he doesn't require a fenced yard, a safe outdoor space where he can run would be ideal for those Boston Terrier zoomies. Neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, and up to date on flea and heartworm prevention, Jack Jack is ready to make someone laugh and to be a dependable buddy for any adventure—or nap.
