Hi! My name is Jacks and am a very happy boy, 24\/7. I even wag my tail while I’m drinking out of my water dish or eating out of my food dish.<\/p>\n

My favourite times of the day are breakfast and dinner, as I love food. Although I’m not a high-energy dog, I really enjoy some exercise but like spending most of my day taking long naps, and you will often find me wherever all the humans are hanging out, especially snuggling on the couch. I would consider this one of my top hobbies.<\/p>\n

I am fully house-trained and fully crate-trained.<\/p>\n

Hi there! Meet Jacks.<\/p><\/figcaption>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/figure>\n

I am good with ­adults and older kids, over age 12. I have a strong prey drive, so it’s best that I am not with small pets or other dogs. A fenced yard would be ideal.<\/p>\n

I love going for walks and do well with a harness.<\/p>\n

I have a lot of love to share and am ready to form a close ‘fur-ever’ lasting bond with you.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a companion who is extremely loyal and is guaranteed to brighten up your days, then I’m the dog that would love to be a part of your life. I promise you’ll really enjoy my cute grunts and my amazing howl, which only happens when I’m really excited – it’s impressive.<\/p>
