Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jack is about 2.5 years old, and I rescued him when he was about 5.5 months. From my understanding, he was found roaming the streets in rural Georgia and brought up to NYC for adoption, which is how I found him. He is a love bug and loves to cuddle, and has a good amount of energy as well.

He is a little quirky and just needs to find a home that can be mindful of his quirks and can work with him. Examples of his quirks are that he, even though he's about 65 pounds and knee-high, scares easily (busses, garbage trucks, dogs coming around a corner that he didn't know were there, people screaming loudly on the street, etc.). He basically has a slightly nervous disposition and just needs someone who is aware of that and can help him make good choices and work through that. Over the time that I've had him, he's calmed dramatically but still has some work to do.

He loves to cuddle, play fetch or tug, go on runs, and is starting to get comfortable playing in the water.
