We process adoption applications in the order they are received. Please be aware that we cannot guarantee that
a particular dog will be available at the time your application is processed.

me.

Jack Hi! I'm Jack - so called because I
may be half basset, but my foster mom is convinced I have some Jack Russell
terrier in me! I am one happy, bouncy dog! If someone had a frisbee, she is
convinced I could become a champion! Apparently, she doesn't have one
because my four-legged foster brothers and sisters just kind of sit around
here not doing much.
