JACK JACK - STAFFORDSHIRE BULL TERRIER / BOXER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier / Boxer / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 450. Hi! My name is Jack Jack and I am looking for my forever family. I am a pint-sized guy with a gallon sized personality. I LOVE LOVE LOVE toys – especially squeaky ones but I destroy anything that isn’t designed for a strong chewer. I am very food driven and I have been known to try to help myself to things that are not mine to eat so temptation should be kept to a minimum for a happy house. On the positive side, I can be redirected very easily with the promise of a treat no matter what I am doing. I go for several walks each day to work on my leash manners. I am getting better and better but I do best with a Walkie leash to reduce my pulling. I know sit, down, crate, off and am working on a few more manners. I also like playing with the dog that lives here - playing and keeping me company in the yard, and learning basic manners – he sits for treats, walks nicely on a leash and I am good at following his lead. A house with a dog would help to keep me busy but I can be selective about other dogs. I do better with dogs that are bigger than me but would need to have slow introductions to get used to each other. I do have a strong prey drive so no cats or small critters should live with me. I do feel the need to bark at any potential threats – like car doors slamming at the house next door, delivery trucks pulling up to a neighbor’s house, etc. so shared walls may not be best at least to begin with until I get comfortable. I go in my crate when I am given the command, and settle quickly but I don’t sleep in it overnight anymore. The best place to sleep is in the same room as the humans - next to them in bed is really where I want to be. I will snuggle up and snore quietly every chance I get. I would love to meet you and find my new home! Jack Jack is from a local shelter. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
