About Jack

Jack has been patiently waiting for a foster up north for a couple of years, living the good life with a caring foster. However, he’s ready for his forever home. This mixed breed dog is incredibly friendly and enjoys the company of everyone around him, but he can also keep himself entertained with his beloved toys. Jack loves playing tug-of-war and flipping his stuffed animals in the air to catch them. He enjoys fetch, long walks, and chasing birds, squirrels, and even bees in the yard. Note that he doesn't get along with cats due to his strong prey drive. Although Jack adores kids, he sometimes forgets his strength, so a home with older children would be best. His goofy antics, from bunny hops to energetic zoomies, will surely have you laughing. Jack turns four years old in January 2027 and is currently located in Griswold, CT. If you’re interested in adopting him, we can provide more details directly from his long-time foster. Every animal deserves a happy ending. This one starts with you.
