A ‘Jack’ of All Trades, This Smart Athletic Pup is Looking For a Home

ADOPTABLE two-year-old Jack has the brains and the brawn.

The mixed-breed pup loves to learn new tricks and always looks forward to his training sessions. (He actually likes homework!) But he's more than just a bookworm! He's very athletic!

Jack loves the outdoors! He's perfect for an active family who likes to run or hike. While Jack is friendly, he would prefer to be the only pet in the home. He's also cautious around new people but he is working hard on opening up and learning to trust strangers.

Is smart, athletic Jack the pup for you? He is adoptable today from Friends for Life in the Heights! Cute-animal-video fans might recall that, in 2019, Friends for Life Animal Rescue went viral online for a video of one of its cats repeatedly letting other cats out of their cages! The org certainly knows something about adorable pets — and wants to help you find your next one today. (Could it be Jack?!)

Leadership in Action: CEO Theresa Roemer Credits Mother, Mentors and Mindset for Accomplishments

How did you get to where you are today? My journey to where I am today is built on a foundation of hard work, dedication, and perseverance. Every step along the way, I faced obstacles, but I approached each one with determination and a “never give up” mindset. Instead of being discouraged by challenges, I used them as opportunities to grow and improve. Consistency was key—I committed to showing up and giving my best effort every day. I also learned not to take “no” as a final answer. Instead, I saw it as a chance to push harder, adapt, and find another way forward. It’s this combination of persistence, resilience, and unwavering focus that has brought me to where I am today.
