My name is *JACK JACK!

From his foster parent- This handsome, slow paced gentleman is more manatee than dog and maybe that’s why i imagine his future home to be filled with leisurely water adjacent activities. Beautiful silver fur, sun rays reflected on fresh water eyes and a margaritaville attitude- he is completely content in any atmosphere. He was stopped several times at Petco for pets (he really is so handsome- i can only imagine what a showstopper he would be with a good bath and weekly coconut oil rubs) and enjoyed the attention without getting overly excited- no jumping or pulling or barking. A small dog barked at him and he was unfazed. I introduced him to my cats and he showed no signs of aggression- mild interest perhaps (however, this was just a quick and controlled one time interaction, we would always recommend monitoring closely when introducing dogs and cats).

The truth is, quite frankly, few things interest Mr. Jack Jack quite as much as treats and his Kong toy. He’s very food motivated and would happily gnaw on a toy/treats for hours but has no problem if you take them away- you won’t get more than a sorrowful look from the most soulful eyes (no growling or food aggression.) Something he’s not fond of? Stairs. Mr. Jack Jack is a little clumsy and life has been a little hard on his body- he has a bit of a difficult time with stairs and needs a little help getting into cars. He’s not a huge fan of crates when they are closed but doesn’t seem to mind being in them at all if they’re open.

Mr. Jack Jack’s placid temperament has made it hard for him to get noticed at the shelter -sweet sleepy shy boy- but i know he could make the best addition to a family who also enjoys the good things in life- being called handsome, good food, a yard for sun bathing, a little treat and many cozy naps.
