Meet Jack!
Jack is approximately 4-years-old, neutered, and most likely a Border
Collie/Australian Shepherd mix. All immunizations are current. He is a
solid 60 pounds, has a soft short coat, and a docked tail. Though he
doesn’t have a long tail to wag, it’s easy to tell when he’s happy,
because he is always happy, as well as loving, playful and eager to
please his person/people.
This big boy knows basic commands and has a good recall, but, as with
all rescues, he could benefit from additional training. With an obvious
herding heritage, Jack needs a lot of physical and mental challenges
each day. He is house trained and has not had any indoor accidents at
his foster home. Jack walks well on a leash, but needs a firm hand thereon.
Keep away seems to be a favorite game. He will eventually let you take
the toy and throw it again, but only after letting it be known that he
is in charge of the game. Jack is also happy to just chill on the sofa.
Jack is looking for a home where he is the only dog, no exceptions here,
as he does not play well with other dogs. Jack has not been tested with
cats but most likely would do best without them. Jack is sociable with
all people but because of his size and play style, a home with older
children would be best. Jack needs a fenced in yard.
He is reactive to vehicles and will bark until they are out of sight. As
such, Jack would not be a good fit for a suburban backyard with a view
of the street.
If you are the perfect forever home for Jack, please fill out an application and contact his foster parents at curt@curtharvey.com. BRBCR’s approval process includes phone interviews, reference checks, and a home visit prior to meeting a foster dog. Approved applicants must meet at the foster dog’s location. Every adoption begins with a 2-week trial period.
Jack’s adoption fee is $300.
