About Jack

Jack is a striking young male Hound mix, estimated to be around one year old. He was left in an outside kennel at HSOV during the early morning hours on August 8, 2026, alongside his two female companions. Their previous owner provided no details, leaving Jack and his friends in need of new homes. With a sleek black shorthair coat adorned with white and cream markings on his chest and paws, Jack has a long tail and a charming face accented by soulful brown eyes and a black button nose. His large floppy ears add to his endearing appearance. Initially bewildered in such a new environment, Jack quickly began to warm up, showcasing his docile and easygoing personality, especially when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied him outdoors for photos. Posing in the green grass, he displayed a gentle spirit that makes you want to hold him close and reassure him that he's safe. Weighing approximately 50 lbs, Jack is due to be neutered before going to his forever home, though he is available for foster or foster-to-adopt arrangements with an approved application. Bond with him now, and you might just find a loyal companion for life. Ready to fall in love? Hit apply and let's get started.
