Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Helllooo, there! I’m Zack. I was known as Jack, but we don’t want to confuse that with our other little man, so I’m Zack now.
We all know these folks don’t have room for anyone right now, but Gwinnett County called Momma Donna the other night to tell them about me. They had, had me for awhile and no one showed any interest in adopting me. Unfortunately, this wasn’t my first trip to the shelter. I had survived the big house before and was adopted in the fall. The people brought me back because I barked all the time … probably because I was chained up all the time.
Because I was an owner-surrender, I was redlined. My temperament test showed I got along well with people and other dogs, though, so they couldn’t fathom putting me down without giving me a chance to live a life off the chain.
I have been vetted; we are just waiting for the heartworm test results. Cross your fingers. I am a young boy (only about 2-3), walk very well on a leash and am very smart. I just don’t like being locked up or chained. I would much rather be playing with you!
