Meet Jack! He’s a 9 year old duck trolling retriever/collie mix. He is about 65#. He was recently surrender back to us after he started to become stressed and overwhelmed with the children in the home. He absolutely loves to play ball, but has to take a break after a while as he is a older man had has some arthritis. Jack could benefit from basic refresher with his leash manners as he does tend to pull a little bit and thinks cars are fun to bark at and chase.
Jack is a very sweet older pup, looking for a home to relax in. He does okay on car rides; he barks at other cars, but stays in the backseat and eventually lays down and relaxes. He pulls on walks when he sees other cars, and he is strong. When no cars are around, he walks very well on a leash. On the tie out in the backyard, he is very well behaved even when cars drive by. He would be best in a home with no other pets and no small children, as he is a bit skittish and sudden noises startle him. He is very obedient and wants to please. He is completely house broken and not destructive at all. He does take a pill daily for anxiety but takes it willingly and it helps him. He is mostly sedentary, having short bursts of energy where he wants to play with a toy. He is a very easy going dog. He knows and listens to the word “no” and takes the direction well. He would benefit from a wet food diet, he eats kibbles but they might hurt his mouth as after a dental, he loss some teeth. He is crate trained and barks initially when crated but stops after a minutes. He is a very low maintenance, sweet dog that loves to relax and nap. He is a very happy pup. He enjoys human company and just being nearby his people.
His adoption fee is $200. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and current on flea/tick and heartworm prevention. To adopt him, please do our application on our website. If you have any questions, email Marty@pawsandprayers.org. He is not good with cats.
