Story
Hi, my name is Jack and I'm about 5 years old.  I was rescued by Bond County Humane Society from Fayette County Animal Control.  I was surrendered to Animal Control by my owner because he could not take care of me.  He said I was his wife's dog and she passed away.  I have had three legs since I was a puppy.  I broke my leg before I had been adopted as a puppy and it didn't heal properly so my leg had to be amputated.  Missing a leg does not keep me from doing the things I like.   I like to go for walks and play in the yard with Harper, another shelter dog. I am well mannered and know "Sit" and "Shake".   I am very friendly towards everyone.  I need the company of either a person or another animal to be content.  Shelter life has not been easy for me. I would do best with a family that someone is home most of the time.  I do not like to be crated or kept in any enclosure.  I'm not a big fan of the kiddie swimming pool.  I stand on the outside next to the pool and drink out of it, but I don't get in it.   I am house trained.  I am available for immediate adoption.  I am neutered, UTD on vaccinations, heartworm tested, treated for internal and external parasites and micro chipped.  My adoption fee is $150.  If you are interested in making me a member of your family please complete an Adoption Profile in person or on-line at www.bondcohumane.org.  Email the completed profile to the address provided.  A copy of our policy regarding warranties, refunds and returns is available upon request.September 30, 2026, 10:43 am
