Plenty of Pets
Jack is a one-year-old German shepherd/husky mix who needs a home with no children.
Jack is house trained but needs to be crated when home alone as he will chew things like cords and phone chargers.
He is very loving with adults but will lunge and nip at children. He loves to play ball and often carries around his favourite teddy bear.
Jack weighs about 40 pounds and is neutered, vaccinated, treated for parasites and microchipped. He comes with 30-days of free pet insurance courtesy of 24PetWatch.
Jack is still young, and with training and patience he will make a great companion.
His adoption fee is $350.
