FlapJack *Arriving 10/10* D12627 - Golden Retriever and Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever Dog for Adoption

Jack is a happy-go-lucky guy with lots of love to give. After he was found abandoned in a rural area, he's been enjoying the good life in his foster home. He loves attention and interaction with his people. He is very sweet smart and enjoys being part of the family, even has some basic training down! Jack does great in the car and loves hopping right in. Another dog to play with would be great but not required if he gets enough people love. Jack loves other dogs and all people, especially if they have treats for him! He's great on a leash, but is strong and will pull if he wants something, so he will need some training around this. Jack is somewhat of a foodie and will need good exercise to stay healthy; he would thoroughly enjoy a fenced in yard to romp around! He would love another dog in the home or kids to run and play with. If you're looking for a trainable, happy, goofy guy, Jack might just be your match!
