Story
Jack is a handsome 12-year old male Bulldog who was surrendered by his original owner on August 2, 2023 because he/she was unable to contain him. Jack has a tan-and-white short smooth coat, a tiny docked tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with black shading around his eyes, a black button nose on his cute muzzle, and short floppy ears. His original owner told us that Jack was good with other dogs, but we've learned that he is selective about the dogs he gets along with. Jack does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in a home with cats or where he would have any contact with them. Jack has had encounters in the past which did not end well for the cat(s). Jack loves his people friends and would love to find a home where he could be an 'only child'. Jack has been kept indoors and is house-trained. This sweet guy defies his chronological age and he obviously believes that 'age is just a number' .. Jack was full of playful energy when HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth accompanied him for updated photos on April 1st 2024. Jack loved attention from Rachel while showing off his personality and physique. Jack weighs 60 lbs and is fairly strong on a leash. Jack has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application. He could also be fostered with an approved HSOV Adoption/Foster application. Update: Jack was adopted on July 5, 2024 but came back to our shelter in mid-August 2024 since he did not get along with the family's dog. Jack is now a 14-year old 'senior citizen'. Jack would love to find a home with someone special where he could spend his golden years as an 'only child'. Jack went home with a foster family on August 16, 2025 so that he could enjoy a real home environment instead of spending his days/nights alone in a small shelter kennel. Jack is still available for adoption and would love to find a forever home where he could spend his golden years being spoiled 24/7 by a special someone.

Story
I came to the shelter in November of 2025 as a stray. I was pretty skinny and had to be put on a special feeding plan to get my weight back up. I love people and I'm a social butterfly. I have made some dog friends as well. I can not be in a house with cats.
