Meet Jack, a 7-8 month old,very good boy. His days are filled with playful antics and goofy moments that bring laughter to everyone around him. Jack loves to engage in games, especially if they involve a bit of friendly chasing or fetching. His funny expressions and joyful demeanor make every interaction memorable.

Adopting Jack means embracing endless fun and Jack is spayed/neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and current on flea/tick and heartworm preventative.

This dog has tested negative for heartworms. The adoption fee is $450 if your adoption is prepaid and final prior to your dog's arrival. An additional $50 will be charged on dogs that are adopted at an event, or foster home. This additional fee is necessary in order to comply with CT HB 5368. WANT TO MEET OUR DOGS IN PERSON?
