Gator Jack

My story

*Fostered in Hamilton*Apply at rebeldogrescue.com*APPLY TO FOSTER TO ADOPTJack was surrendered to a shelter with little info given. He has shown us that he is the definition of a low-maintenance best friend. This little gentleman is quiet, easygoing, and perfectly happy doing his own thing as long as it's somewhere close to his people.He enjoys leisurely walks where he can stop and explore all the interesting smells, but don't expect him to be your marathon buddy. Once he's had his adventure, he's more than ready to claim his spot on the couch, snuggle into the fluffiest blanket he can find, and enjoy a cozy nap (preferably beside you!).With his sweet nature, gentle personality, and laid-back attitude, he's the kind of dog who fits right into everyday life without asking for much, just love, a comfy place to snooze, and someone to share life's quiet moments with.If you've been searching for a calm, cuddly couch potato with a heart of gold, Jack is ready to steal yours.Breed: Dachshund mixAge: ~9 yearsWeight: ~15lbSex: Neutered maleGood with men: Yes - friendlyGood with women: Yes - friendlyGood with kids: No, not good with childrenHas this dog ever bitten or attempted to bite?
