COURTESY LISTING Please Contact Sara Sims at :
Jack showed up at our neighbors house in December. He was wearing a choke chain and the blue harness you see in the picture. He is some sort of lab mix and weighs 52 lbs. He decided to sleep on their front porch. When they came out he was so happy to see them. When they got in the car to leave he chased them down the driveway onto a very busy main road (Its a miracle that he didnt get hit by one of the many semi trucks that travel that road). So they were going to call the animal shelter to pick him up. They couldnt get a hold of anyone and so I offered to put him up in a kennel at my house. I was too worried about him going out on that road.
When we first met Jack, he seemed very on guard. He took his time assessing us. He would curl his lips up and show his teeth a bit, but upon sniffing you would be ok. I hooked him to a leash and he walked so well. I am sure he was some ones pet. We took Jack to the vet to be scanned, but he had no chip. Our vet said he was about a year.
Jack has LOTS of energy and needs to be paired with an active family. He can pull you down the road for a walk or he can walk very nicely. Jack will need a leader of the pack type family to be with. He has been near my goats and does not really seem to pay them any attention. He does seem very interested in cats though when he looks as though hes going to chase one of mine, I tell him NO and he will move his attention away. He has also been with my 8 year old daughter. He does very well with her, though I would not put him in a home with children younger than that. Jack LOVES to jump straight up in the air and can jump fairly high. He tends to jump when excited. However, he DOES NOT EVER jump on my daughter! I dont know if it is just her (dont think so), but he just sits at her feet and leans on her. If he starts to jump on someone else or do something he shouldnt, she tells him NO firmly and he lays at her feet. I dont have a fenced in yard so he is not off leash with us. Not sure if he knows commands such as come.
Since being at our house Jack has grown accustomed to seeing us, however, he is very leery of strange men.
Jack does have a bit of a food aggression. He tends to arch his body somewhat over his food and watches you with his eyes. He also curls his lips just a little. However, every day when my husband feeds him he continues to rub his back and pet the top of his head. He is trying to get him over the food aggression. With just a little training I think that Jack will make someone a fantastic family member. Jack will need a fenced yard with a 6 ft. fence or he will jump right over the top.
