My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This delightfully charming fellow is Jack, brought to the Mesquite Animal Shelter on 11/23 as a stray. My Dog Scanner app suggests Lab/Retriever with possibly Vizsla in his breed mix. Jack weighs 76 pounds and is about 2 years old. He is a bundle of energy and enthusiasm. He does jump on you quite often in his excitement so perhaps the first order of business for his new owner or foster would be manners training. He chased the tennis balls I threw but wasn`t trained to return them. Another thing he could undoubtedly be taught. Jack is such a happy spunky boy with a real zeal for living! I can see him with a person or family with an active lifestyle going camping, hiking or jogging. Just seems like he`s that the kind of guy. Jack would need daily playtime, exercise and enrichment. He walks nicely on a leash. He did his business outside. Jack has obviously been well cared for and it is surprising that his people have not come looking for him. Though he wants to return to his people, he would be happy to become the beloved pet of another family. He is friendly and likes to be petted. Due to his 76 pound weight and propensity to jump on people, he would not be suited to a family with small children until that can be dealt with. You wouldn`t have to spend much time with this adorable guy to fall in love!
