About Jack

Jack is a charming young German Shepherd, estimated to be around 10-12 months old. Found as a stray earlier this year, he had a tough start but has since regained his health and is ready for a loving home. Jack’s personality shines through; he’s a goofy boy with energy and playfulness that’s typical for a Shepherd. He’s made great strides living in a multi-dog foster home, learning valuable social cues and how to play respectfully. Jack can be a bit vocal when meeting new dogs on a leash, yet he’s quick to make friends and is working on managing his excitement. While he’s had some interactions with cats—being curious but respectful—proper introductions could help him adjust to living with them. This delightful boy is eager for a family to guide him as he continues to grow into the wonderful companion we know he can be.
