Jack is an eager-to-please, 4-year-old Lab/pitbull mix. He is loved by his family but, for reasons beyond their control, he now needs a new loving home.

Jack is just a bit on the chunky side. He loves the idea of going for a walk, but doesn’t go very far before lying down, sometimes with his legs in the air. As he shapes up, he’ll definitely go farther on his adventures. He’s a lively fella, however, and will play a game of catch for all he’s worth.

This friendly, outgoing guy is available through PAWS of Grays Harbor, 800 W. First St., Aberdeen. The shelter is open only by appointment at this time. You can fill out an application online at www.pawsgh.org and then call 360-533-1141 to set up a time to meet Jack or any of the other pets up for adoption.

PAWS also can also be found on Facebook and Instagram. Adopters who are 55 and older receive a 20% discount on adoption fees.
