Jack would like to say hello! Handsome Jack looks to be a Labrador Retriever/Heeler mix that is approximately 5 years old. Jack was originally picked up as a stray and lived at a shelter for over 2 and a half years. He was adopted out, but unfortunately his owners divorced. The mom moved into a small apartment with no room for Jack, and she could not afford a baby and a dog. His dad moved away and couldn't take him, and sadly when Jack came back to the shelter he tested positive for heartworms. Jack is currently under treatment for heartworms with the help of HeartHelp and should be ready for his new home in late September or early October. Jack is a great dog who's friendly, loving and playful with moderate energy. He would love to have a yard to run and play in and he loves to swim in a kiddie pool. He is house trained and crate trained and walks well on a leash. He is good with kids but we do not know how he feels about cats. Adopting Jack will be like hitting the "Jackpot" of dogs! If you would like to adopt him, fill out an application. You just may be the lucky one!

Medical Note: Jack has been treated for heartworm disease with melarsomine injections. Once treatment is completed and the dog tests negative for microfilaria, Jack will be cleared to resume normal activity and able to be adopted. Untreated heartworm disease can cause lasting damage to the heart, lungs and arteries, and can affect the dog’s health and quality of life even after the parasites are gone, possibly presenting as medical complications and/or new conditions in the future. Jack dog showed no symptoms of heartworm disease before or during treatment. A good resource for more information on heartworm disease is : https://www.heartwormsociety.org/pet-owner-resources/heartworm-basics. P lease check with your vet if you should have any questions or concerns about this condition, and discuss any concerns you may have with your SOS Adoption Counselor.

SPONSORSHIP: Jack's heartworm treatment expenses have been generously sponsored by Heart Help. Proper treatment for heartworm disease can take hundreds of dollars and several months - two precious resources that can be very hard to find for homeless dogs.
