About Jack

Jack carries 74 pounds of athletic, high-energy love and those long legs sure keep everyone guessing about his mixed heritage. Originally thought to be a lab retriever mix, Jack truly has a look all his own. He grew up alongside two young girls, a cat, and other dogs, so he's used to a busy household and handles it with friendly ease. Jack gets along with children, other dogs, and even cats. His leash manners are solid, and he’ll sit or lie down when asked. At a year and a half, Jack still acts like an overgrown puppy who wants to run for hours. Any adopter will need serious room—a big yard, a track, even something resembling a runway—to keep him content. When cut loose, his love of running quickly turns any attempt to catch him into a favorite game of chase. A tall, sturdy (6-8 feet) fence or dog kennel is a must since he’s a pro at making the most of open spaces. Jack is neutered, house trained, and current on vaccinations.
