My story

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





Meet Jack! – Built Like a Tank, Heart Like a Teddy

Personality: Gentle, Goofy, Velcro-Softie

Jack is living proof that the biggest hearts sometimes come in the coziest, most snuggle-ready bodies. This affectionate guy loves nothing more than being close—curled beside you, leaning gently into you, or trying his best to fit in your lap like an oversized, extra-squishy marshmallow.

He’s wonderfully polite and easy to spend time with. Jack knows “sit,” takes treats with the softest nibble, and will happily romp around with a tennis ball or favorite toy when the mood strikes. His playful spirit is matched only by his calm, loving presence.

And Jack’s signature move? When he’s extra happy or excited, he lets out the cutest little snorts—an endearing soundtrack to his joy that always gets a smile.

Fun Fact: Jack’s happy snorts are famous—100% adorable, 0% optional. They show up whenever he’s having the best day ever.

If you’re searching for a devoted, gentle, goofy sweetheart who thrives on companionship and connection, Jack is ready to be your new best friend. He’s all love, all the time—and he can’t wait to share it.

Come meet Jack—the big softie with an even bigger heart.
