Story
Updated 26Jan26 Jack Status: Available for Foster or Adoption Placement Type: Patient, experienced home recommended About Me Jack is a gentle, deeply sensitive boy who is just beginning to learn what safety feels like. He came from a very difficult situation and was found severely underweight, fearful, and unsocialized, having spent most of his life outdoors with minimal positive human interaction. Because of this, Jack is still learning how to trust people — but he already knows how to trust other dogs, and they are his greatest source of comfort. Despite everything he’s endured, Jack is kind, quiet, and cooperative. He is not broken — he simply never had the chance to learn that people can be safe. Personality Jack is extremely submissive, soft-natured, and gentle. He does not bark, avoids confrontation, and startles easily. Around people, he often keeps his head down and avoids eye contact — not out of aggression, but fear. Encouragingly, Jack has already shown small signs of progress, including his first tiny tail-nub wag — a big milestone that shows he is beginning to feel safe. Socialization Dogs: Excellent. Jack thrives with calm, confident dogs and gains confidence by following their lead. He plays appropriately and feels most comfortable as part of a pack. Cats: Great with cats. He shows no prey drive and ignores them completely. People: Fearful but very gentle. Jack has never shown aggression and responds best to patience, space, and low-pressure interaction. Training & House Manners Jack is not yet potty trained and is learning indoor routines for the first time. He is currently using a crate and puppy pads as he adjusts to life inside a home. He is not leash trained yet and requires slow, gentle handling. Everything about home life is new to him — but he is trying. Medical Notes Jack arrived very underweight and extremely hungry. He has significant tartar buildup on his back teeth with gum irritation, which made chewing hard food painful. He is doing much better on softened food, and his comfort has already improved. His teeth are scheduled to be professionally cleaned by the veterinary team. Jack is also currently undergoing heartworm treatment, which is being managed under veterinary guidance. He is otherwise stable and resting well as his body begins to recover. Energy Level Low to moderate. Jack is decompressing and spends much of his time resting. He does best in calm, predictable environments. Ideal Home Jack needs a quiet, patient home with: At least one confident, friendly dog Humans experienced with fearful or undersocialized dogs No pressure for affection A calm, structured environment Jack may not seek attention right away, but he forms quiet, meaningful bonds once he feels safe.
