jack needs a home

RSS | Archive

Hey, I'm Jack! I'm a greyhound/yellow-lab mix and I'm a big dog with a blog! My foster mom, Adriene Hughes, and my foster aunt, Tricia Wang, have been taking excellent care of me while I am in search of my forever loving home. Do you have a home? Would you like an obedient, loyal, gentle, protective, sweet and proud doggy in your home? Then I'm yours! Welcome to my blog where I document all my wonderful qualities for my future owner! And guess what I would love to find a home by the Holidays! Wouldn't I make the best Christmas, Hannukah, or Kwanza present? EVeryone wants to take home a well trained doggy!

Background: for two years, I belonged to a couple who didn't have the time to raise me. So Foster Mom Adrienne and Aunt Tricia took me in. Within two weeks, they had me house trained. Here's a video of me walking - notice my normal gait. I am super patience when I am on leash.
And i'm patient even when there's a BIG TASTY TREAT IN FRONT OF ME!!! and here's a video to prove it!

Relations with other doggies: I gets along well with other dogs, even the tiny fiesty ones. Here's a pic of me sleeping with my BFF monkey and here's a video of me playing with monkey! Monkey is an itsy bitsy tiny black chihuahua-terrier mix. She is the love of my life and also a bit of pain - but in a good way - like she constantly likes to tease me, nip at my ears and take away my toys. You will see lots of videos of us playing, like more here and here. Don't ever think we're being too rough - it's all her and I have to protect myself against this little BFF of mine.

Training: I am so well trained - I pee and poo outside and I do bark loudly when strangers approach the house, but i stop right away if Adriene or Tricia ask me to. If I am put in a room with the doors shut, I never whine and I wait patiently until they let me back in. Tricia already has taken lots of time to rehabilitate me into a best doggy friend! If you bring me to your home and feel you need some doggy lessons, Kate Palese, a certified professional dog trainer at South Bark Dog Wash, will give you 6 weeks of FREE classes with ME! this is how much everyone loves me!

Toy preferences: I likes plush chew toys. when I happy I put things in my mouth and walk around for hours with them, like in this video.

Temperament: AWESOME! My energy is loving and calm. I am not a hyper dog - I am the kind of doggy that will walk by your side and sleep at your feet.
