Meeting Jack

Jack is a 17 month old Bernese Mountain Dog with a lot of spirit. He is fast, he is agile, he is exuberant, and he loves to please.

Jack also needs a home.

I took Riley and Sabrina to Delaney Lake yesterday to walk with Jack and his foster family. He has been staying with this family for a couple of weeks now. Two Berners live in this foster family and Jack came to learn how to socialize and get healthy. Jack is a very special boy, you see. Despite the neglect and abuse he suffered from his first family as well as being given away as if he was a piece of merchandise they no longer wanted, Jack has become a most lovable, trusting, and happy Berner. For whatever reasons, Jack's previous family withheld food and water from him until he was sick. Perhaps they did not want him to grow too big. Perhaps they just didn't want a puppy going to the bathroom in the house. Their actions caused Jack to have serious panic attacks and bladder infections. Finally, Jack was rescued by our club. And today Jack looked fabulous. He is beginning to sprout some ear fuzzies and his top coat is coming in. He probably also shares blood lines with Riley as he is from the same broker. At 18 months, he is just about Riley's size, and has a very similar head shape.

Please help us find a happy home for this Bernerboy!
