Jack is a vibrant, loyal and playful Plott Hound mix who is about 1.5 years old and weighs about 75 pounds. He gets along great with adults and older kids. He's currently enjoying life in a foster home with 3 children (ages 9, 10 and 14 years old) and his best buddy, a 55-pound female pittie mix. Training and Behavior: Jack is house broken, no food guarding or food aggression, very food motivated and has been easy to train. Jack knows the following commands: no, sit, down, paw, leave it, wait, no pull, potty, come. Jack walks well on a leash and really enjoys his outings with a harness and retractable leash. Jack does not stay in a create at his foster home and when his foster family goes out, he has the house to roam and does not destroy, cause damage or have accidents. Personality:Jack starts shy and needs slow introductions. His foster family has worked hard to build his confidence and he's come a very long way since being found and rescued. He is his foster mom and foster brother's shadow and loves and is content just being in company of his humans. Jack is still young and playful. He loves chewing on toys, playing tug of war with his ropes and fetching. He can be high energy when not exercised or mentally stimulated. Jack is a happy pup and knows how to entertain himself with toys and chews when needed. Jack is a cuddle bug and enjoys couch cuddles while his foster family watches TV or snuggling his foster sister pup. Ideal Home: Jack would thrive in an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Jack starts very shy and needs slow introductions. Jack will need very slow introductions because Jack can be really timid when meeting new dogs. With cats, Jack can be curious and won't go after them but the cats need to also be respectful of dogs. Jack's new family should be ready to continue his training, continue building his confidence and provide him with the love and attention he deserves. Jack's back story: Jack was dumped in a new development neighborhood as a very young pup and was left fending for himself. He was found in early January and has made huge progress with confidence, training and learning to be a playful pup again!

All breeds listed are educated best estimates by transferring shelter staff, our volunteers or our vets. The dog may have some genetic material of an American Staffordshire Terrier (pit bull). The dogs are usually mixes of many breeds, making them the All American MUTT. Our dogs are rescued from various situations (kill-shelters, owner surrenders, strays, etc). It is most likely that both their parents were strays and mixes of some sort.
