Meet Jumpin' Jack Flash!
Jumpin Jack's owner could not longer care for him and he was sitting in the pound just waiting for someone to rescue him. The poor boy had no idea what he did to end up in a place like this! He was very scared in the shelter and he wanted nothing more than someone to love him enough to get him out of there. Unfortunately Gimlet's first foster home can no longer keep him. We need to find him a new foster home while we find his FOREVER home.

Jumpin' Jack is a very sweet boy who was a little cautious when he first met us, only because he wanted to make sure we were going to be nice to him. We believe that somewhere in his past, someone (most likely a male) was not very nice to Jack. He needs patience and a firm voice, soft hand. We would prefer Jumpin' Jack to go to a home with no small children under the age of 8. He is non-confrontational with other dogs as long as they are respectful of him and appears to ignore cats.

Jumpin' Jack Flash received this name because this boy loves to jump. Not on people, just jumps up in the air, getting higher and higher each time, like he is on a springboard. We think he does this to say hello and to get attention. It is really very cute. He is very friendly with anyone who walks through the door and loves any attention they give him.

Jumpin' Jack is a dog with a lot of energy to burn off and he would be great for someone who would love to run or bike with him.

A NOTE FROM HIS FOSTER:

* He is a star guest/foster child.
* He has been golden in his crate during the day and at night---no accidents and no problems getting into it. He doesn't bark or cry during the night...very calm.
* The first two walks we used the halter and the next two we've used the gentle leader. The gentle leader keeps him calmer and more controlled than the halter. With the gentle leader he does not pull at all.
* As far as my cat is concerned, Sister is keeping her distance---from atop the fridge everything is fine according to her---I don't know when she'll come down from on high.

Long Distance Adoptions: Animals who are not fully vaccinated and altered are not eligible for long distance adoption. We require a meet of the pet prior to adoption, which means coming to MARS. We do not transport to potential adopters.

Adoption fees are non-negotiable and can be paid by cashier's check, money order or credit card. We do not accept personal checks.

Post Adoption: Any issues that arise after adoption are the full responsibility of the adopter after the finalization of adoption. We highly recommend Pet Insurance. Adoption fees are only part of the expense of owning a pet, so we ask you to consider the costs for the life of the pet before adoption. We recommend pet insurance.

Pet Breeds: The pet you are viewing is a rescued pet which is most often from an animal control facility or Shelter partner. The breed(s) listed are our best guess and are in no way guaranteed.

If you choose to DNA test your adopted pet, test results may vary from company to company and our breed guess may not be reflected in those results as it is just that, our best guess without knowing a pet’s full history.
