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?!)

John Kuykendall, Showroom Manager, Sub-Zero, Wolf and Cove

How did you get to where you are today? Growing up I had envisioned myself as a news anchor, living in NY and enthusiastically saying into the camera “Good Morning America!”. To this day, I am still a news/political junkie. My mother owned fur salons so specialty retail, luxury retail was in my blood through the family business. Eventually, mom shuttered the stores and I was recruited to a large specialty retailer. Over the next 30 years, I was in commissioned sales on the sales floor, became a department manager, worked my way up to buyer and store manager. Although I never became a newscaster, I did live in NYC for a few years. But Texas is home and with aging grandparents, I felt the pull to come back to my roots. A headhunter approached me. I never envisioned myself in the high-end appliance market, but there are so many similarities. Clients want a memorable experience; whether shopping for diamonds and fur or remodeling their kitchen.
