Zack's Story

Zack is a happy, friendly, playful, highly athletic, energetic and very smart boy. He considers you a friend (unless a person is mean to him) and gets along very well with other dogs in our program. <br/><br/>Zack is house and crate trained. He has learned his cues of sit, down, wait, give, leave it, stay, go to his spot, Zack is quiet, clean and a "leaner". You may not receive many kisses from this boy, he prefers cuddling with his person. <br/><br/>Zack's favorite thing is to fetch the ball outside in the fenced yard. He will go as long as you allow him to. Of equal enjoyment is a good game of "tug" with his trainer. We teach a special kind of tug that trains our dogs to "let go" on cue. Once Zack is well exercised, he walks nicely on the leash. Zack loved the snow we had during winter 2024-25. <br/><br/>We are looking for a home with a good size fully fenced yard in order to get the amount of physical exercise Zack needs. He could not get sufficient exercise by just walking him. <br/><br/>Inside, Zack is calm and quiet. When he does bark, it is an alert for his trainer that someone is at the door of their cell. Zack's bark is impressive and no criminal with a working brain would try to break into his house! Once the visitor is welcomed inside, Zack is his usual friendly self. <br/><br/>Zack is respectful of his trainer's property. He enjoys playing with his stuffed squeaky toys (which he does not destroy) or chewing on his XLarge Bambone while his trainer reads a book. A very visual dog, Zack is constantly watchful of what is going on around him. <br/><br/>Zack came from a quiet home with an older couple who surrendered him to the local shelter due to stated financial struggles. He is a real "home body" and likes to keep his world small and quiet. Zack has been challenged in the prison which is consistently very noisy and crowded. He would do best in a calmer environment without crowds or loud yelling and loud noise, both which are abundant in prison. This boy especially loves women!

Riverbend Jail Dog Program's Adoption Policy
Dogs in our program live and train with prison inmates. Meet and greets are scheduled only for approved adopters, and are conducted away from the prison. Potential adopters are approved through a review of their adoption application. We ask that all human family members and other dogs living in the home come to the meet and greet. We do not adopt our dogs into homes with children under 4 years of age. Children ages 4-8 are considered on a case-by-case basis. Cat tests can be done upon request from approved adopters. Home checks are conducted at the time our dogs are delivered to their forever home by the program instructor.
