About Jack

Meet Jack, a handsome 10-year-old Heeler mix ready to find his forever home! Jack came to Safe Haven as an owner surrender, and he arrived alongside his lifelong buddy, Hunter. They have an incredibly special bond, sharing their whole lives together. It’s important for Jack to stay with Hunter as they transition into their senior years, so our ideal home would allow them both to remain together. Although finding a place for two dogs can be challenging, we are open to considering separate adoptions if two suitable families come forward. Jack deserves a loving family where he can feel safe and cherished, especially as he moves into this new chapter of life. Let's help ensure these best friends stay happy together, enjoying their golden years side by side. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
