Hi, I’m Jack! I’m a male German Shepherd born in 2020. I was adopted off of Craigslist when I was 2 years old by an amazing man who had rescued GSDs all his life. Being born in the COVID time, it was obvious right away that I had never been outside of my backyard and once I was brought to his home, I decided the world was SCARY! I coped by lunging, growling, barking, and biting whatever came near me. Weighing in over 100lbs, I was a pretty intimidating beast and I used that to my advantage.
My dad did the best thing for me by reaching out to Das Hund Haus for help and we began doing private lessons on a weekly basis so that I could learn to trust people. I was making really great progress when my dad was suddenly hospitalized in February of 2022. I stayed for a whole month with a member of Until Such Time because she was the only one I trusted besides my dad... It was very clear that I was not a mean dog, but I just needed a very strong leader! Together, my dad, my foster, and I worked really hard to change my perception of the world around me. It's not completely fixed yet, but I'm doing a lot better.
My dad was worried that with his declining health, what would happen to ME if something happened to HIM? He made a really smart choice and put me in his will so that Until Such Time would have immediate possession of me when he passed away (which sadly happened in June of 2024). I'm still very mistrusting of strangers, but I'm getting better every day. I might be available to a dog-savvy home with no kids who can help me succeed in the world around me. But until then, I am living my best life with the amazing ladies of Until Such Time who were the very first to earn my trust!
