My personality

My story

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

Please visit leiashope.org for our adoption process.
Located in Troy, MO

Requirements:
Canine Companion (the more the better)
Secure physical fenced yard

Jack is a sweet little guy with some insecurities and fears he needs to work through. Jack will do best in a home with at least one other young confident dog. He is good with dogs of all sizes but plays best with dogs his size or bigger.

Jack is a playful guy and is enjoying his foster home with multiple dogs! His best friend is a cavalier/bernese dog and maybe it's his bigger size that makes Jack feel safe. Jack enjoys running around the yard with his friends, chasing each other, playing tug, and then taking a nap! Jack is also very sweet and loves his couch and cuddle time with foster mom. He tends to gravitate to women and sleeps in bed next to foster mom at night.

Jack has a phobia to people in hats. It terrifies him and he will run and hide and shake. Please be mindful of this if you meet him and when others meet him.

Jack walks good on a leash and would maybe enjoy short walks in a familiar environment. However, new people and situations scare him, and his instinct is to flee, so a physical fenced yard is required.

Jack's adoption is $400. He is neutered, current on vaccines, microchipped and on monthly flea and heartworm prevention. Visit leiashope.org for next steps.

PLEASE NOTE: We are a volunteer ran rescue with full time jobs. Please allow 7-10 days for application processing.
All of our dogs are in foster homes and a meet and greet is done ONLY after an approved application.
We do adopt out of the area. However, we do not ship or provide transportation. You must come to the location of the dog to meet and adopt. NO EXCEPTION. All family members and dogs must be present at the meet.
Dogs are a commitment for THEIR lifetime. For puppies this could be 15 years. If YOU cannot commit to the lifetime of the DOG, please do not apply. Puppies under 9 months must go to a home where there is someone home frequently (works from home or a partner is home), can adequately socialize and train the puppy, and can keep up with puppy energy!
