Flash (renamed Jack)

It was bound to happen to us. We fostered many wonderful hounds during the past 2+ years, becoming attached to each and then letting each one move on to its forever family. Having convinced ourselves that our 3 dogs were all we could handle long term, we foolishly felt confident that we would never take on a permanent 4th dog. Then along came Flash, surrendered to the Lake Shasta shelter by his owners. A foster that we volunteered to care for just for the weekend, Flash settled in, we fell in love, adopted him, and the rest is history! Flash, renamed Gentleman Jack Flash, easily won us over with his gentle ways, youthful enthusiasm, adoration of us, and ease of blending into the family. In addition to that, he is totally perfect and darn cute! We couldn't love Jack more than we do and every day we marvel at how happy all of us are that Jack is a permanent part of our expanded family. MIke and Sally Mitchell, Lily, Dazy, Becky & now Jack
