Story
Meet Jack — aka Captain Jack 🏴☠️
Captain Jack, or “Jack-Jack” to his friends, is a handsome, medium-sized tripod with a heart that’s just waiting for the right person to discover it. He's 1 year old and ready for his forever home.
Jack-Jack isn’t the kind of dog who falls in love with everyone the moment they meet. He needs time, patience, and someone willing to let him move at his own pace. But once you’ve earned his trust, you’ll have a loyal best friend who will never want to leave your side. The bond you’ll build with Jack-Jack is one that’s truly special.
Don’t let his three legs fool you—this pirate is anything but lazy! Jack-Jack is incredibly fast, loves to run, enjoys pack walks, and absolutely lights up around the water. He even loves to swim (although with only three legs, he’s happiest and safest splashing in the shallow end!).
Jack-Jack gets along wonderfully with dogs of all sizes and thrives in their company. He’s happiest exploring the outdoors, so he’d love a family that enjoys walks, hikes, and adventures together. He walks nicely on leash and would enjoy having a securely fenced yard to explore, though he doesn't necessarily need one. Because of his background, he should always be on leash in public, as new people can make him nervous and he’s considered a flight risk.
Jack-Jack would do best in a home with children ages 11 and older who can respect his space and allow him to build trust at his own pace. He is not a good fit for a home with cats.
Jack-Jack’s story began on the Yakama Reservation, where he was born and survived alongside many stray dogs. After being hit by a car and losing one of his legs, he was rescued and eventually found his way into a loving foster home. His foster family adored him. He quickly bonded with the husband and, with a little extra time, learned to trust and love the wife too. Today at The Asher House, Jack-Jack has formed a deep bond with Sarah and loves joining Lee and the pack on their daily walks.
Because he’s never truly had a permanent home of his own, Jack-Jack is looking for someone who understands that the best relationships take time. He’ll need continued training, patience, and consistency as he adjusts to family life—but he’s absolutely worth the effort.
At about 40 pounds, Jack-Jack is the perfect medium-sized companion. As for his breed? Your guess is as good as ours! We think he may be a mix of Labrador Retriever, German Shepherd, Border Collie, and a little bit of everything else.
If you’re looking for an easy dog, Jack-Jack probably isn’t the one.
But if you’re looking for a dog whose trust is earned, whose loyalty is unwavering, and whose gratitude will last a lifetime, Captain Jack is waiting to meet you.
Jack's adoption fee is $295 and he's neutered, vaccinated and microchipped.
