Meet CACTUS JACK
Age: ~8 months
Breed: Cattle Dog x German Shepherd (predominantly)
Don’t be fooled by his name—Cactus Jack is all softness and no prickles! This affectionate and intelligent pup is calm for his age and eager to learn what it means to be part of a loving home.
Cactus Jack is fully potty trained and already knows “sit” and “into your room.” He’s working on understanding simple concepts like yes/no and upstairs/downstairs. He’s also a bit “handsy,” which makes him a great candidate to learn tricks like shake-a-paw, high five, or pound once he's ready.
He walks well on leash and enjoys peaceful strolls, followed by cozy movie nights curled up by your side. He's a budding fetch enthusiast and would love someone to toss a ball for him.
What Cactus Jack Needs:
A gentle, calm foster home where he can continue building confidence
No small children, as he still jumps up when excited
A family willing to help him learn that his crate is a safe space
A home that can support him with his barrier reactivity to other dogs (he’s typically fine when there's no barrier)
He’s shown no interest in cats so far
Likely to do well with another respectful dog, with proper introductions
Cactus Jack is a sweet, sensitive soul who’s just beginning to discover the joys of home life. With patience and love, this pup will flourish into the loyal companion he’s meant to be.
