About Jack

Adoption Fee: $25
Australian Cattle Dog mix
Age: Young Adult
Sex: Male

This is Jack, he is a 1 year old (turning 2 in April) male neutered heeler, medium size (55.8 lbs). We are located in Henrietta Tx. He is up to date on all of his vaccines. He is house broken and a very healthy dog. He knows basic obedience but is very rebellious and opportunistic. The trainer we work with and we like to describe his behavior as on a timer. He is good and willing to work with us until he loses patients and starts biting the leash. We are being more strict with him to prevent him from chasing my cats and getting to my chickens as he has stolen some eggs and killed one of my chickens. He does protest when we put him in the kennel when we are gone. He will bark, growl, and snarl when I put him in the kennel. I have gotten advice from our trainer and we are having success so far! He has bitten me once while at my vet office. He was very heavily sedated and I was trying to muzzle him when he bit me. He is very energetic and does require a high level of management. He does try to chew on things in the house. He loves to eat pecans and make a mess with them lol. I do recommend an experienced owner adopts him. Despite his behaviors he is a very sweet dog. He loves to play tug of war and love cuddles and belly rubs. He will always want your attention and love. He is great with other dogs, though he did used to have a humping issue. He has not had that issue since. He has not been around children but he loves people and strangers. The reason on why I'm looking to rehome this baby is because I do not have the time. He was pushed onto me by my father when he was 6 months old. Back then I was looking to rehome him since my father did not remember where he got him from. I have kept him for this long due to my sister claiming ownership of him but has never been a confident dog handler. My sister is now scared of him and I cannot allow him to be pushed onto me any longer, especially since I have my own animals (cats and chickens) to take care of that he has not treated well.
