Jack is almost 3 years old and a large mixed breed boy at 65 pounds. He originally came to the shelter as a tiny puppy that was found in the country. He was adopted, but due to life circumstances beyond his control, his family had to return him. Jack enjoys lots of attention, getting pets, playing, and especially cuddling on the couch! He is learning to play with other dogs in a playgroup and doing an excellent job. This long-legged handsome boy is ready for a furever home to spoil him! Come in this week to meet Jack. We are open Wednesday through Friday 3-7pm and Saturday 10am-2pm. If you are interested in adoption, please fill out the online application to speed up the adoption process. We go in order of application received, so the sooner you get in your application, the better! Jack has $50 off his adoption fee during his week. Combined that discount with our October Adoption Special and Jack’s adoption fee is waived during his week!
