He\u2019ll make some family very happy someday.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jack is a greyhound or greyhound mix who came from a field trialer in central Ohio.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know much about this sweet boy\u2019s past. We do know that most <a href=\"http:\/\/ohiolurcherproject.webs.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">lurchers<\/a> spend their lives chained outside to a dog house or in a shed. They race in underground field trials all year \u2018round and are frequently moved between trainers until they\u2019re no longer up to the sport.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/jack22.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-thumbnail wp-image-1443\" src=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/jack22-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"jack22\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Jack was one of the lucky ones. He made it out alive and came to SHUG. He\u2019s doing great in his foster home, but this boy needs \u2013 deserves \u2013 his own forever home.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Jack is a cute, older boy, who doesn\u2019t seem to know his age. He\u2019s in great shape, very healthy and while he loves his sleepy time, he also likes to go outside and play with the big dogs. A nice big yard would be to his liking. His foster mom calls him a \u201cfunny little guy,\u201d who really relishes the companionship of fellow Sighthounds. (He\u2019s very keen to snuggle with them, but not obnoxious about it.) He will cuddle will humans, too, and enjoys being talked to. He eats well and is completely housebroken.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/jack333.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1439\" src=\"https:\/\/sighthoundunderground.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/04\/jack333-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"jack333\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" \/><\/a>Now for the disclaimer: he is NOT small dog or cat safe, can\u2019t be an \u201conly,\u201d cannot be crated and he does, unfortunately, enjoy nibbling on the occasional ugly pair of pajamas or that old blanket you really don\u2019t need.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Do you have room to add a famous Jack to your pack?
