History: We recently welcomed a group of deserving dogs who needed help from overcrowded rural shelters in Texas. They are settling into their foster homes and doing well as they start their journey in finding their forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Howdy, I'm Jack Jack! 🤠
I came up to the midwest from Texas from an over crowded shelter after being found as a stray puppy and boy am I loving this new life!
I'm a young short stocky mixed breed who is around 45lbs and close to a year old! These short legs don't slow me down one bit! My foster mom thinks I'm a corgi mix of some sort!
Here's some more information about me from my foster mom!
Jack is such a special guy who is one of the funniest dogs we've ever met. He never fails to make us laugh and hes always such a happy guy! Hes gonna make his forever family so happy!
Jack came to us very shut down and was scared of most things. Over the last couple months hes made huge strides and continues to do so. He is more reserved when out and about meeting new people. Hes very food motivated so it doesn't take long to win him over and he loves a good booty scratch! Around men he takes a little longer to warm up but he has formed a special bond with his foster dad! He is able to confidently walk on a leash and is always up for an adventure now!
He is so smart and is so quick to learn. He is fully potty trained and keeps his kennel clean!
He has mastered sit, down, come, and kennel up. He is learning to not jump up with excitement! He also does great in his kennel and sleeps soundly through the night.
He loves having dog friends around but tends to do best with dogs who match his play and are on the more submissive side!
He seems slighty too interested in cats but I think with the proper testing he might be ok!
He loves kids and is so gentle with them!
He loves playing with toys, is awesome at fetch, loves to have zoomies and play chase outside, and loves to play tug!
Hes a great cuddler and loves to lounge on the couch with us any chance he gets or entertain himself with a toy!
He is great in the car and loads right up!
He walks amazing on leash and doesn't tend to pull or bark at things hes interested in!
You'll fall in love the moment you meet this silly loving boy! He can't wait to find his forever home 🐾
Adoption Fee: $500 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
