Meet Jacques: The Gentle Giant in Need of a Forever Home!
Jacques is an impressive 80-pound American Staffordshire Terrier/Cane Corso mix with a heart as big as his stature. When he first arrived at his foster home, his size and presence were immediately noticeable, but his true nature soon shone through.
Found malnourished and abandoned at a rural dumping ground, Jacques had a rough start. Despite his intimidating appearance, he quickly proved to be a "gentle giant." He loves to curl up in his foster dad's lap like a small dog, pressing his massive head against his foster dad's cheek and soaking up all the affection he can get.
Jacques has a remarkable ability to connect with people. On walks and outings to the local bar, he greets everyone he meets with enthusiastic tail wags and a friendly lean into their legs, as if they were long-lost friends. Back at home, he shows the same warmth to the other dogs. He carefully navigates around the older dogs, ensuring he doesn't knock them over, and offers gentle kisses through the bars of their enclosures.
At just 3 years old, Jacques is full of energy and loves engaging in fun activities. He’s house-trained, neutered, heartworm negative, and up to date on his vaccinations, making him ready for a new chapter in his life.
Jacques was happily adopted a few months ago, and his new dad adored him. Unfortunately, due to medical issues, his dad could no longer care for him and had to place Jacques in boarding at his vet. It soon became clear that his dad wouldn’t be able to return home, so Jacques is now looking for a new forever family who can give him the love and attention he deserves.
This special sweetheart of a dog is 80 pounds of pure love, eagerly waiting to bring joy and companionship to his new family. Someone will be incredibly lucky to welcome Jacques into their home. Could that be you?
