My name is Jack!

Jack is a 9 yr old 30 pound Bichon X whose owners were unable to care for him.  He was a quiet boy when he first arrived in foster care, but as trust has been established, his friendly personality has really started to shine through.  He loves to play tug-o-war with his foster mum, and eagerly performs tricks like sitting up and waving with his front paws. Jack is a connoisseur of belly rubs, and back and chin scratches, and will climb into a lap to enjoy them every chance he gets!

Jack is eating a mixture of kibble and wet food and loves to gobble it up the minute it is put down.  Other delicacies he enjoys snacking on are strawberries, cucumbers, and peppers; he is not fussy and loves to eat.

Jack requires reassurance at times when he doesn't understand what is happening, and will signal his confusion with a low growl. He is not a fan of being picked up, but letting him know to be gentle and reassuring him that things are okay in a calm voice helps him he is safe when he isn't sure. 

Jack loves the great outdoors and exploring the backyard and going for walks, and would thoroughly enjoy it if his new family included these in his everyday routine.  He is quite a charmer when he meets new people and other dogs that visit, but has not been tested with cats.

This handsome fellow would do best in a home without small children as they aren't predictable and Jack likes to know what is going on around him.  Before he came to the rescue, he had a benign mass removed from his back and he has now been fully vetted and is in great shape for his age.  He is a quiet and happy guy, and has so much love to give to a family that is lucky enough to adopt him!
