Story
We adopted Jack as a puppy from McCracken Humane Society on June 19, 2024 at 10 weeks old. The shelter is full, and we received permission to list him here. He is about 8 months old, and came listed as a Terrier mix. He is very loyal, kind, and loving, and was raised with his sister (who is also available for adoption, if you'd like to keep them together!). He has been around toddlers for months, and has always been kind and accepting of them and has never shown aggression. He has been trained in the basics like sit, wait, come, etc. and has responded very well to training (food motivated). He is crate and house trained. According to our vet, he is healthy and growing well. He is neutered, has received his shots (will provide proof), and is chipped. He will come with his crate, some toys, some food/treats, collar and leash. We don't want to give him up, but need to rehome due to allergies. We want to make sure he is in another loving home.
