Thinking of adopting a dog? Adopt me! I am the coolest dog.. I am housebroken. I don't chew. I cuddle well. I am obedient, bark appropriately, and am happy watching tv, walking or just hanging out with people.... haven't you ever been shy when you meet new people? Call or email to visit me!

He is starting to show what kind of dog he is. I believe it takes a few days for a dog to relax in a new environment. When we first picked him up he was scared and unsure, in about 5-10 minutes he started wagging his tail and acting like he knew us for a long time. No problem loading in to the car and enjoyed the ride home. No crying or barking while riding either.
Once home we took him for a 45 minute walk prior to introduction to our dogs. We introduced everyone with no problems.
Jack has been on several leash less walks with us, he wanders ahead a little but looks back and comes when called. He will fetch sticks and balls, but does not always bring it back. I am sure with some work he will be a good fetch dog. He does sit, but needs work as he tends to get distracted easy.
He tends to jump up when greeting people, this is being worked on too.
Jack will make a great dog! He can be timid but over time and training he will overcome this.
We picked up Jack on Saturday from the Fort Drum Shelter. He was close to being put to sleep but was given a second chance. He has been a great dog thus far. Gets along great with all of our dogs 7 total he makes 8. Comes when called, and is pretty low keyed. Pictures and videos to come. Check back to see his progress.
