Story
Meet Jack. His owner went in for gallbladder surgery and sadly never made it home. Jack was taken in by neighbors who, while kind, are “cat people” and needed rescue support. Thankfully, we were able to secure a foster home and bring Jack into our care. Jack is currently being fostered by RuthAnn, living with her dog, Solo. He integrated easily into the home. Solo is a budding senior and not a playmate, but Jack respects her space and is a gentle companion. Jack is also cat-friendly and loves kids; he considers them new friends to play with. RuthAnn describes Jack as a total cuddle bug. He loves being close to his people, snuggling on the couch or in bed, often under the covers. He always wants to be touching you with a paw, head, or his whole body. Jack has a moderate energy level, enjoys play, and would love a playful canine companion in his new home. Jack has good house manners and will bark to let you know when he needs to go out. His foster mom has used the crate, but trusts him with free rein in the home when she leaves. His leash skills are a work in progress; he’s improving. At 62 lbs, he’s a strong boy and does pull, so he needs a capable handler. He’s not reactive on leash, but can get excited. A trainer has worked with him, and he walks better with a training collar. Overall, Jack is a confident, social boy who loves attention and being near his people. He meets new people and dogs very well, enjoys car rides, and would make an excellent road-trip sidekick. He truly wants to be your companion and go everywhere with you. RuthAnn says Jack is a sweet, happy boy and one of the easier dogs she’s fostered. He does best with someone who will ensure he gets daily walks and playtime to help him be his best self. ***Jack needs a local DC metro-based foster home to bring him up on transport.
