My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Oliver is very active dog. He is s  puppy-like playful and doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He is absolutely sweet, but he has LOTS of energy.

Oliver would not be good around small children because he will knock them down and it will hurt.  He is good with other dogs, but again, small ones or old ones would not hold up well. He wants to play with cats and will chase them. The cats do not appreciate his exuberance. Most of them run into hiding. 

Oliver is hard on a leash, even with the new, fancy side clipping leash.  He is unbelievably strong for his size.   Oliver likes to jump and he is very good at it. I am not sure the average four foot chain link fence would contain him. He also LOVES to dig and will go under that fence in two minutes or less. The hot wire fence for cattle didn't even phase him. He made four passes through it. Out in out in. Zap! Zap! Zap! Zap! with nary a yelp or whimper. Given the chance, he'd go through it again without thinking twice. I won't even touch that fence with a stick. He can squeeze through a cat door with ease so don't think that will deter him.   If you think you might be interested in adopting, let us know. Let us know your experience in dealing with Jack Russell Terriers and how you think Oliver would fit into your family or zoo.

Adopting Oliver is a long term commitment because he is young. 
We love this little critter bunches and gobs but he does have some special needs. Can you meet those needs?
