My name is
Jack-O-Lantern!

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.



Jack-O-Lantern is at risk due to behavior concerns. Jack arrived at the care center as an owner surrender. During intake Jack was friendly and outgoing with staff, jumping socially and taking treats gently. In the care center, Jack continues to jump on staff but is redirected with treat scatters. Jack was observed to hyper salivate, hard pant and bite and tug on his leash in kennel but has slightly improve. Outside of his kennel he remains anxious-hypersalivating and fixating on staff treats pouch, and has begun kennel fighting with multiple instances of him spinning back on the handler, with an open mouth but not making contact. Despite our best efforts by offering daily enrichment Jack is having a hard time adjusting to the stress of the environment. Medically, Jack is apparently healthy.

What my friends at ACC say about me:

I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe.

I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together!

I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me.

I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.
