Cuddle Up with Jack Frost the Dog This Winter

This retriever mix is available for adoption from the Dearborn Animal Shelter.

Meet Jack Frost—a dog with a wintry name who will warm your heart.

Jack is a plott hound/laborador retriever mix who is very clever and already knows basic commands. He's one year old, loves tennis balls and is very friendly.

Jack took a while to warm up to other dogs, so it'd be best if you brought your dog for introductions before you bring Jack home.
