Story
Jack is a vibrant, loyal and playful 1 year and 10 months old Plott Hound mix. He weighs about 75 pounds. He's currently enjoying life in his foster home with 3 children (ages 9, 10 and 14 years old) and his best buddy, a 55-pound female pittie mix. Jack is house broken. He is very food motivated and has been easy to train. Jack knows the following commands: "no, sit, down, paw, leave it, wait, no pull, potty, and come". He walks well on a leash and really enjoys his outings with a harness and retractable leash. Jack can be left outside his crate when his family goes out. All he does is to roam around, lays on the couch and chills. He never causes any damage or has accidents.
Personality: Jack starts shy and needs slow introductions. His foster family has worked hard to build his confidence and he has come a very long way since being rescued. Jack is still young and playful. He loves chewing on toys, playing tug of war with his ropes and fetching. He can be high energy when not exercised or mentally stimulated. Jack is a happy pup and knows how to entertain himself with toys and chews when needed. This pup enjoys couch cuddles with his foster family and likes to watch TV or snuggling his foster sister pup.
Ideal Home: Jack would thrive in an active household where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation. Jack will need very slow introductions to other dogs because Jack can be really timid initially. With cats, Jack can be curious but won't go after them. The only thing is that he can get a bit nervous if the cat is aggressive towards him. Jack's rescue story: Jack was dumped in a new development neighborhood as a very young pup. His foster mom found him in early January.

PLEASE READ:
• If a dog or puppy is listed, they are currently available for adoption. However, they may already be pending an adoption, and their profile may not yet reflect this.
• All information is accurate to the best of our knowledge as of the posting date.
• Unless explicitly stated, Sandy Paws Rescue does not guarantee the breed of any dog. Breeds listed are educated guesses made by shelter staff, volunteers, or veterinarians. Many of our dogs are mixed breeds, often with pit bull-type genetics, resulting in a wide variety of physical traits and temperaments.
Our dogs come from various situations, such as kill shelters, owner surrenders, or as strays. It is likely both parents were mixed breeds as well.
Sandy Paws Rescue does not have a public shelter in Massachusetts. Our dogs reside in private foster homes or boarding kennels in the South until adopted. Many dogs are spoken for prior to transport or release from state-mandated isolation.
