My name is Jack. Jack the dog.

From the song the “Weight” from the Band.

I was found as a stray and brought to a local humane shelter where a very caring volunteer called LEARN when my time was up. See I have heartworm (I know bummer for me). However I found my way into this volunteers heart and she offered LEARN a donation if they would help me. I guess it was my ever wagging tail and dog kisses that won her over.

LEARN took me in where my Foster parents then discovered that I had a Mast Tumor – which has been removed and my outlook looks great. Now I will begin my heartworm treatment in early March.

I am glad LEARN took me in – I have a foster brother now that I get along with great. We love to play but I have to be careful because I can overdo it and I have arthritis in my back side which makes me limp a bit. But it does not slow me down I love to go for walks and sometimes my foster mom and I go for a run and I say right by her. She sure is fun.

I am a very good sweet dog that has a sense of adventure. Sometimes when I get to sniffing I forget to come home. That’s why I am going to need a fenced in yard.

If you’d like to adopt me, please complete and submit an adoption application or contact LEARN for more information.
