SOME COOL INFORMATION ABOUT ME:

Meet Jack!

Jack is a 10-month-old, neutered male weighing 12 pounds (as of 10/26) and this little guy comes with two distinct settings: stranger danger and best friend.

When Jack first meets someone new, he can be shy and unsure. He needs a little time to figure out that you mean him no harm. Once you hold him, give him some gentle pets, and earn his approval, that worried little puppy starts to relax and the real Jack begins to appear.

And the real Jack LOVES to play!

Jack is an active youngster who plays very well with other dogs, including dogs much bigger than he is. He can be a bit of a rough-and-tumble player, so hed love a canine buddy who enjoys his enthusiastic style. An active family or a playful dog companion would be an ideal match for him.

Toys are always welcome, and a good bone to chew can keep Jack happily occupied. He's also comfortable in his crate, is mostly house-trained, and is doing well learning the routines of home life. Leash walking is still on his puppy résumé under skills currently in development, so his new family will need to continue working with him.

After all that playing, Jack has another side.

He loves his pre-bedtime snuggles.

Once the days adventures are over, this busy little boy is happy to settle in close and soak up some affection before calling it a night.

Jack is still young and has plenty left to learn, but he's already showing us what a wonderful companion he can become. He needs a family that will give him confidence when he's unsure, guidance while he's learning, plenty of opportunities to burn off that puppy energy, and lots of love along the way.

Jack may greet you with Who are you? but give him a little time and hell be asking, What are we doing next?
