Description
Handsome Jack was picked up as a stray in the south. Although he waited patiently for his family to come and claim him, no one arrived. Having been placed at a very crowded shelter, Jack was living on borrowed time. Fortunately, the right people heard about his story and were able to pull him right before he was euthanized. Although they knew that Jack would need to transfer to another rescue, they also knew that this boy deserved to live. When asked if we could help Jack move forward, MAGSR immediately stepped up.
Jack is a young, inquisitive, and energetic guy. He seems to enjoy the company of people and other dogs. However, he needs a little time with new places and transitions. Having been bounced around so much in the last few months, this seems reasonable. Jack can't wait to find his forever family so that he can settle down and finally be home. As a young guy, Jack is looking for an active family that will exercise both his body and his mind on a daily basis. Due to the lack of consistency in Jack's life, it will also be essential that his forever family provide him with clear structure, routine and leadership. Training will help Jack's family support him within the home as it will help him bond with his forever family. Training will also help Jack develop into a stable and confident good canine citizen.
Unfortunately, we have learned that Jack is heartworm positive. This diagnosis could have been prevented, had he been kept on monthly heartworm prevention. Jack's heartworm treatment has already begun. Although treatment is expensive, MAGSR knows that this handsome guy is beyond worth the cost. MAGSR will be covering the cost of Jack's heartworm treatment in its entirety. Please consider donating to Jack's treatment so that we can not only provide Jack with the care he needs but can also continue to welcome medical dogs into the rescue. Jack will need to take it easy over the next month or so while he heals. However, this will give him the opportunity to adjust slowly to his forever family. If this special guy sounds like the right match for your household, ask to meet him today.
