Jack is 11 years young and was in danger at a local animal shelter because of his age, but he has a lot of life left in him. Sure, his muzzle may be gray, but he has a lot of energy and a huge desire to play. His favorite toy is a Jolly Pets Ball and he loves to push it around the yard. He’s also ready to go for a car ride any day and any time!
He was thought to be a lab/pit mix, but he's quite a bit shorter and smaller than the typical lab. This distinguished gentleman has excellent manners around other dogs and is not distracted by barking dogs in the neighborhood. He knows to stay on track for his walk. He is still pretty strong though, and does occasionally pull, so a younger couple or family would probably enjoy walking with him the most.
Strangers are just new friends for this guy, and he wants to be next to his person whenever possible. Jack doesn't really like his crate much, but will tolerate it for periods while the foster parents are away from the house. He will bark in protest at first, though.
Jack is housebroken and knows how to ring a bell on the door. He is not food-aggressive and readily waits his turn when treats are dispensed. Jack knows "sit and "paw" and is learning "wait” and “quiet.” He is very food motivated and would be easy to train further with treats. He is also a very smart boy, and readily learns and accepts rules that are new to him. He can be trusted loose in the house. He does have a bit of confinement anxiety, so he would do best if someone either continued to train him for crate time or had him free roam in the house with another dog friend.
This boy does enjoy being outside, especially when someone is outside with him to play. He sleeps quietly in his own bed all night in his foster parent’s room, but also loves to cuddle if you let him in the bed.
Since he is leash-trained, a fenced yard is not required for Jack, but he would do best in a home with a yard. He does bark when he wants to play or get your attention. Fenced yard preferred so he can play with toys and run around. Overall, Jack Black is the epitome of a low maintenance dog who will reward you with love, companionship, and loyalty. Apply today at istodaymydayrescue.org to find out more about Jack! His adoption fee is $100. He is up-to-date on vaccinations, neutered, and heartworm-negative.

Additional adoption info
We want to make this easy and we want to be sure that the dog you are interested in is a fit for you. Finding a dog or pup that works with your schedule and lifestyle is key to our placement. The questions on the application help us know if the dog you choose will do well in your home. Number of hours your dog is home alone, fenced yard, exercise plan, other family members – pets included; those are important things we want to discuss with you and your chosen canine. We do require a vet reference.
The application is on our website: Istodaymydayrescue.org. Complete and send. You can expect a reply within 24-48 hours. As all of our dogs are in foster care, we will then contact the foster home and arrange a meeting. The foster home might want to do a home visit or you might meet at a convenient location. If it is a good fit, some adoptions can be completed at that time of the meeting.
All of our dogs are spayed or neutered prior to adoption. All of our dogs are micro chipped, wormed, heartworm tested if over 6 months, on heartworm preventative, treated for fleas, and have age appropriate vaccines. Pups under 16 weeks require ongoing vaccines every 2 to 3 weeks.

More about this rescue
“Is today my day?” That is what every shelter dog asks. “Is today the day that I find a home, get a family, discover that I am a best friend”? We want to tell those dogs: “Yes, it is!”
We are a foster based rescue who aims to serve south central Missouri, an area with a low human population and a high canine population. Our mission is to help dogs from this area find homes in the St. Louis area through adoptions and transfers. After covering spay/neuter costs, 20% of each adoption fee goes to our emergency medical fund so we can help canine accident victims, pay for emergency C-sections, and other health needs. The remainder of the adoption fee goes to the dogs.
We are foster based and do not have a facility. Moms and pups are our focus, but we will help any dog we can. We are only able to accept a dog when a foster home is available. All dogs and pups are current on vaccines, micro-chipped, heartworm tested, wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks. All dogs over 12 weeks have been altered; if too young for this procedure, a spay/neuter reimbursement is provided when the procedure is done.
