My story

Meet Happy Jack! When you see his photos, you’ll understand why he needed a “happy” in front of his name. This 7-month-old hound-mix pup is always smiling!  His good nature is in spite of a beginning that wasn’t so idyllic. Happy Jack and his siblings were found abandoned at a gas station as very young pups. Some good samaritans took them in and found homes for all the puppies except for Happy Jack. He lived on a farm with lots of animals, including cats, during his formative months. His foster family found out that he was good with cats, but he unfortunately wasn’t so good with the chickens, so he sadly spent a lot of time in a kennel. But Happy Jack is proving to be a pretty chill fella now that he has moved to a foster home with no chickens.  Happy Jack has excelled at crate training. He’s totally content in his crate and sleeps quietly throughout the night. No separation anxiety when you leave. He's also potty trained.  Happy Jack looks to his human for guidance and aims to please, so he should be fun and easy to train. He’s super affectionate and loves to lean on his human. He will be a total lap dog if you let him. A very large lap dog! He already weighs 55 lbs at just 7 months old. He does love to play with other dogs after a proper introduction and would be OK with a doggy sibling or as an only child.  More than anything, Happy Jack just wants to love and be loved! If you’re looking for a large, calm and affectionate companion, Happy Jack could be your perfect match.”

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Happy Jack, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
