About Jack

Jack's journey hasn't been easy, but he's ready for a brighter future. He came to the shelter after a tough time spent neglectfully confined in a crate. This has made him a bit shy and timid initially, but he's slowly opening up and revealing his sweet personality. Despite his past, Jack is incredibly affectionate and has a playful side. He enjoys taking walks to explore the world around him and is eager to leave his past behind. Jack dreams of a home filled with love, patience, and cozy places to rest. He weighs around 60 lbs and is a Labrador Retriever/Mixed Breed. Previous owners mentioned he is partially house-trained and has lived with another dog, although he did show some signs of resource guarding food and toys with other dogs, which we haven't seen towards people. All he wants is a family to call his own, to finally be spoiled like every dog deserves. Could you be the one to give him that chance? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
