THE PACK LEADER
A Lifelong Dog Advocate and Trusted Adventure Leader
I’m Jared Hocking, the founder of Chicago Adventure Pack. For more than 15 years, I have cared for dogs of different breeds, sizes, ages, personalities, and backgrounds.
My experience in animal rescue shaped the way I approach every dog—with patience, compassion, structure, and respect. I take time to understand each dog’s routines, favorite activities, fears, friendships, and unique quirks.
