Video: A lovely leash walk with Mr. Jack







Jack       12-year-old male chocolate Lab     65-lbs    Not yet neutered

Background: Jack's former owners brought him to their vet to be euthanized... but the vet who had known and cared for Jack for many years declined their request and offered to take Jack off their hands.  The vet office immediately called us to see if we could take Jack into our program.  Are you kidding me?  "Jack, welcome to the Lab Rescue family!"

What Jack's Foster Says: Jack is a sweet, loving chocolate lab who loves to spend his days lazing near his humans (although he is equally happy to nap in the sunshine by himself!).  He enjoys going for short walks, and will bark to say hello to other dogs, but has not shown any aggression towards them.  Jack walks well on leash and takes his time, sniffing as he goes!  He loves to ride in the car and is chill and relaxed lying across the back seats.  He is a loveable guy, who enjoys giving kisses.  Jack lost his family of 12 years but has quickly settled into our home and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for an older, calm gentleman!

What Jack's Rescue Rep Says: Jack may be in his senior years, but he has a spark and zest for life.   Jack is not a speed demon... but he loves his short walks... and would like nothing more than to lie on his dog bed and watch the world go by.  Jack is seeking a quiet non-demanding forever home that he can relax at for rest of his years.  Presence of another older dog would be great. 

Medical: Jack is in good health for an older guy.  He is taking an anti-inflammatory to combat some arthritis in his back legs and spine...  Current on vaccinations, heartworm negative and microchipped.  Jack has not yet been neutered (we'll look for our vet's guidance on this).

Located In: Corte Madera.

Our volunteers donate their personal time phones so please only call during reasonable hours (8am - 8pm). The Rescue Rep identified in the dog posting is the only person with information about the dog - please only contact the designated volunteer. We do call everyone back within 2-3 days so please be patient. We work very hard to make the right matches for the dogs and for the new owners. We get 3-5 dogs per week; we do not have a facility where the dogs are housed, they are in foster homes throughout the Bay Area.
