Jacek - Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dog for Adoption in Tacoma, Washington

Meet Jacek!

At just 1.5 year old, this handsome boy already has an incredible comeback story. He came to us from the Tri-Cities shelter with two other dogs, all suffering from severe mange. Today, he is fully healed and has a soft, beautiful coat grown back in - a true glow-up and a testament to his resilience.

Jacek is crate trained, house trained, dog friendly, and great with kids. He has not been cat tested. He's still young and playful, but he also carries a gentle, grateful spirit that makes him especially endearing. He would thrive with a canine sibling or be perfectly happy soaking up all the love as your one and only.

After everything he's overcome, Jacek is ready for a stable, loving home where he can continue to grow and simply enjoy being someone's cherished companion.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.

The shepherd dog breed encompasses a versatile group known for their intelligence, loyalty, and strong work ethic. With a heritage deeply rooted in herding and protecting livestock, shepherds excel at various tasks ranging from obedience and agility competitions to search and rescue missions.

In addition to their remarkable abilities, shepherds are often characterized by their distinctive appearance, including a sturdy build, alert expression, and a signature double coat that provides insulation and protection in various climates.
