Here's what the humans have to say about me:
This adorable jack russell terrier ended up in a high kill shelter because his owner could no longer afford to care for him. He is approx 7 years old and 17 lbs. He had such horrible dental disease that he could not pick up food or close his mouth. WIth such severe medical problems he was placed right onto the euthanasia list. Shaggy Dog rescue pulled him from the shelter and got him the care he so badly needed. After two major dental procedures Sparky had all of his infected teeth extracted. He now has no teeth and is like a new dog! He can eat just fine and play with soft toys and he just the happiest and sweetest little guy! He is a really great dog- very quiet and well behaved, loves to hop on your lap and get lots of petting and loves to snuggle up on his warm doggie bed. He loves to go on walks and is very well house trained. He gets along with the other dogs and has NO issues with food etc.. he is going to be a great companion for someone.
