Story
This is Jack, he is a very sweet and friendly boy. Jack is great with other dogs and people/kids, he has lots of energy/ jumps a lot and needs to be somewhere with space to run. Unfortunately jack plays to rough for my in laws elderly retriever and we need to find him a good home with someone who can help him get his energy out. He is currently an outdoor dog but has lived inside a home as well. We want to give the best life possible and a loving home to this good boy. Mini Australian Shepard

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. I want A "FUR"ever" HOME!  Read the FULL Bio to see where I am located and contact info:    2024001 Check out this Teddy Bear. Teddy as we call him since he looks like a little black bear cub, came to us from a local animal control.  His owners just left him behind. Well, RCHS didn't leave him behind.  Teddy is around 1 year old.  He weighs 44lbs and is a black lab mix.  He loves other dogs, tested ok with cats, but will need training to teach about playing too rough, and better with older children since he still jumps.  He knows some basic commands. Teddy is still puppy so he does still mouth when playing.  He just needs some time, training and love.  Please help us find him a home. Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.
