Hello all from California,
Jack the dog, brother of Dweezel, son of Fiona, is now happy, healthy and high on life in sunny California. Jack was adopted in October 2004 and since then we have relocated from Illinois because of a job change.

Jack is absolutely the greatest guy!!!! He is a joy to be around. We take him about once a week to doggie day camp at PetsSmart. He spends the day frolicking with 30 other dogs. The first few minutes he was freaking out (60's term). Now he cannot wait to get there and see all his buddies. He likes to chase and bark at the little dogs.

We have a nice fenced in yard that Jack can spend the day in. He likes to chase critters (like lizards!) and the kids in the neighborhood always stop to say hello to him. Like I said, he is a great guy.

Jack is doing just great. He is an absolute sweetheart with people. He is a good boy and a good politician. He has to kiss every baby that he sees.

November 2004

We just started classes Thursday and here is a picture that my wife took before we went. He is doing great ... He's a smart boy. He really likes to please and I also think that he had instant memories of you training him. ..he just wags that tail all day long and occasionally chases a cat through the house.

[When we took him home] it took Jack a couple of weeks to get comfortable and realize that we were always going to be there. That we were going to come home...that kind of stuff. But all in all, be assured that Jack is a very well adjusted doggie with a great temperament and he is a welcome addition to our family.

October 2004

We REALLY like him. What a sweet boy....The vet and his associates just thought he was the greatest and he is. (He got a lot of treats) Kudos to you and your organization...My kids were home this weekend and the house was filled with people. Jack was very much at ease. He is just so friendly.

September 2004

Jack seems to be a very happy fellow. He puts in a lot of tail wagging time during the day. We like him very much and he is acting exactly as expected and as you described he would. ... He eats like a cavoon (Italian for a BIG eater). ... He likes to sleep on the floor at the end of our bed. So thanks for the great job that you did with him to rescue him, teach and reinforce his good behavior and then find him a home with us. He is just what we needed.

Adopted September 25, 2004 Jack was a 10 month old, male-neutered, black/tan, German Shepherd Dog. Jack was an adorable happy-go-lucky dog. He loved the baby, other dogs, and people. He was a very laid back guy, who appreciated a good sunbeam with the best of them, but still had the energy to play like a puppy.
