Jackson

Jack... Adopted!

This little fellow is doing just fine in his new foster home, and is very grateful to his dad for getting him outta the shelter!

He is settling in nicely and learning to heel, as well as making some new firiends! Jack is a handsome young male, chocolate black with a nice brush coat. Jack is a sweet and easy going guy, who loves to be outside and is friendly towards other dogs. Jack has been jumped by strange dogs a few times and did not retaliate at all. He's playful and affectionate and loves to cuddle. He likes a good walk and could use a bit more leash training.

Jack is excellent in the home and house trained.

Upate from foster dad: Jack has had a great first week with us! He has progressed quickly on leash and completes basic commands 'most' of the time ;) He loves long walks and especially loves play time afterward. He's an amazing hopper (though we're trying to limit that to play time only). I'll try to capture some shots of Jack air born!!

I've nicknamed him Jackson (after 'Jackson Pollack'), due to the large, abstract, 'Pollack-like' patterns that his enormous flappy lips drip around his water bowl!

Jackson is playful and amazingly bright; he picks up new commands quickly but he can also be stubborn. He constantly tests his boundaries and won't miss a beat if we're not consistent. He's very vocal during play time at home and with other dogs. Jack is curious about other dogs but needs more socialization to learn good doggie manners. He's fairly aloof with most people and quite independent, but he doesn't mind a quick sniff and pet. He's bonded quickly with me and likes to follow me around the house, however, he'd prefer to rest alone and only gives his masters brief opportunities to pet, massage or cuddle him. He really is a pleasure to have around!

Update: Jackson's foster dad has adopted him and we couldn't be happier (and neither could Jackson!)
