About Jack

Jack is an 8-year-old Chihuahua who found himself in rescue after his human dad sadly passed away. He’s been well-loved and is very affectionate, often seeking a cuddle buddy. Jack enjoys rolling around playfully and burrowing under the covers for naps. Although he likes to lounge, he could shed a few pounds. Jack is house trained and will go outside but is also comfortable using potty pads inside. He gets along well with other dogs but would likely thrive in a cat-free environment. Ideally, he would love to be adopted with one or both of his brothers. His adoption fee of $300 includes all vaccinations, deworming, a dental check, heartworm test, prevention, and he is already neutered. Jack is waiting for his forever home in Peoria, IL. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
