Meet Jack!  He is truly a gentle giant.  He was born around 10/10/2016, and will likely be a huge 100 pounds when he reaches full adulthood in another year!  His coat will probably get thicker and more plush as he becomes more healthy.

This poor boy ended up at the shelter after being found as a stray.  He had multiple facial wounds that looked like he’d been attacked by another dog, and it was clear he had never lived inside a home.  He was nervous and unsure when first arriving to his foster home, but after some good meals, walks, love, and attention, Jack began loving indoor life!  His facial fur is coming back nicely, soon his scars will disappear, and he’ll be his gorgeous self again.

He enjoys being outside with the other dogs, but as soon as everyone comes back in, he wants to be back in the house with the rest of the family.

In true Pyr fashion, Jack likes to sleep a lot during the day and is relatively low energy for a dog of approximately one year in age.  However there are times when he does play with his foster siblings in the backyard.  If he lived in a household with a younger, energetic dog he would probably be very interactive with them and become a more active dog himself.

In his foster home, sweet Jack lives with two adult Pyrs and he gets along with very well with them.  He needs a companion dog in his forever home.  He is fine in the house when his people are gone, but gets anxious without his fellow canine buddies.

Jack does great on a leash and thoroughly enjoys his daily walks.  He has free run of the house and enjoys plenty of bones which keep him occupied and out of mischief.  He loves riding in the car once he can be convinced to get in it!  He is very strong, so he will do best with a family that is able to load him into the car until he realizes that it’s something he wants to do.

He could be fine in an apartment if he is walked regularly.  He doesn’t seem to have an interest in toys, but maybe he’s still learning what they’re for!   He can be funny sometimes, rolling happily in the grass.

Despite everything Jack has been through, he has adjusted very well to being a family dog and is extremely low maintenance.   He is very affectionate and loves nothing more than getting attention from his humans. His gentle demeanor will make him a perfect family dog for the right home that is able to give him the love and attention he deserves.
