About Jack

Meet Jack! This handsome boy came to us as a stray, leaving us with little background on his history. Since arriving at Dakin, he has been nothing short of sweet and very social. Capturing his picture was quite a challenge; he wanted nothing more than to jump out and beg for attention! Jack loves to rub against you, seeking out the perfect spot for petting. Although we lack specific experience with how he would adjust to a home, a gradual introduction to other pets is recommended. If Jack sounds like the kind of social companion you need, we invite you to come visit him today! Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
