Jack is a wonderful five year old who has been looking for a permanent home for far too long.

His original owner passed away two years ago and family members took Jack in. While they tried to care for him as best they could, they weren’t prepared for a dog and Jack ended up being alone for 14 hours a day. He was kept outside in a kennel run and just wasn’t receiving the attention and exercise he deserved.This handsome fellow with a long, silky coat and beautiful grin loves to stay active and enjoys his daily walks and occasional jogs.

He will make an excellent running partner! He also hops right into the car, and will be a great companion to take to the dog park.

Jack has nice manners, walks well on leash and gets along well with other dogs. He can be wary towards strangers at first, but once he gets to know you Jack is a true snuggle bug! He enjoys affectionate hugs and loves to be brushed.

Jack is available at Homeward Pet Adoption Center. Hours are 2 to 7 p.m. Wednesday through Friday and noon-6 p.m. Saturday and Sunday. Volunteers are needed to help walk dogs and care for the many homeless cats and kittens.

If you have a few spare hours a week, please fill out a volunteer application! Opening up your heart and home by becoming a foster parent will also help to save many more wonderful pets like Jack.
