IDGSR Welcomes JACK into the safety of the rescue!! THIS DOG IS FOSTERED IN TENNESSEE & AVAILABLE FOR TRANSPORT ************** Hiya Friends! My name is Jack and I'm an adorable 5-month old male Shepherd mix. I am located in Greeneville TN and will be available for transport. Quick Facts Age: 5-months old Kids: will do fine with kids Dogs: will do fine with other dogs Cats: unknown Training: needs full obedience training 1. I had been living on my own near a golf course, no one really wanted to feed or take care of me. Thankfully a nice man helped me and brought me to the best rescue! 2. I'm just a little guy learning how to be a civilized pup. I'm doing great on house/crate training but please be patient with me since I'm still learning. 3. I do need full obedience training. I am smart & catch on quickly! Pro tip - if you have tasty treats and talk real sweet, I'll do just about anything! 4. I'm learning that toys are so much fun! I've never had toys of my own and would love to have a bunch to play with! 5. Exploring in the backyard, following my foster dad, and attempting to get into mischief are some of my favorite things. Hey, I'm just a puppy! 6. If you are looking for a cute, resilient, playful, curious, energetic, and lovely new companion - I'm your guy! **SERIOUS APPLICANTS ONLY!
