Jack is Looking For: A forever family! This handsome boy would love someone to take him on long sniffy walks, cuddle with, and maybe even give him some treats. He doesn't ask for much, maybe just a few toys and of course cuddles and pets would be much appreciated! He just wants to know he's safe and loved. What do you say, could you be the one Jack is looking for?

What My Foster Says About Me: Jack is a very sweet boy who wants to be your little shadow. He would do best in a home that can give him plenty of exercise as he still has a lot of energy! Jack has done well meeting other dogs and has played well with them at the dog park. Jack would be a great addition to an active household looking for a loyal companion!

Heartworm Information: Jack is a truly Lucky Dog. He tested positive for heartworms, but has been treated! Heartworm is not contagious to people or other pets, but results from mosquito bites. Heartworm, if left untreated, is life threatening, but after treatment, dogs that were heartworm positive should suffer no significant long-term effects so long as they are kept on a monthly heartworm preventative. Heartworm dogs can resume full active and normal lives, but need to be kept calm for 4-6 weeks after treatment. Jack has completed this activity restriction period.

Lucky Dog cannot guarantee any dog is housebroken. All of our dogs are working on their crate training.
TO ADOPT: The adoption fee for this dog is $475, which includes the cost of routine vetting, including vaccinations, spay/neuter, and heartworm treatment. If you are interested in adopting, please complete the Adoption Questionnaire online at bit.ly/adoptaluckydog
