Here's what the humans have to say about me:
I’m Kasey, a 6 year old female JRT- Rat Terrier mix, weighing 19 lbs. Before coming to rescue, I lived life on a chain. As a result, I’m very fearful when you meet me but I when I warm up to you, I’m as loving as can be. Because I can be a bit fearful, I need a home with no children but patient and dog savvy teenagers would be ok.
Speaking of dogs, I really love them and as a result, I need a home with another playful dog who will help me learn to trust the humans I am with. I’m much happier with another dog around to show me the ropes. I have a doggy playgroup that comes over to my foster family’s every day and I can’t stop smiling when they are here! I recently had a trainer come meet me and she says I need another dog in my home because I like to take my cues from other dogs. Please don’t apply for me unless you have another dog.
I am currently fostered in a suburban home with 3 other dogs of different sizes and a fenced in yard. I’d like to continue to have a fenced in yard.
In my foster home, I am friendly, affectionate and very playful. I love to play with toys and steal the frisbee from my furry foster brother. I love to cuddle with my foster family and get tummy rubs. I prefer to meet new people while on a leash and I really don’t want them to touch me until I say it’s ok- but aren’t most of us like that?
I am housetrained and not destructive when left alone, but I do have a bit of separation anxiety so I don’t want to be left all day. I do shed so I would not be a good fit for anyone with allergies.
I would need a patient dog owner who is willing to work with me on meeting new people.
The optimal situation for me is a home with another dog, no young kids and where I am not left alone for more than a couple of hours at a time. I’m quite food motivated and bright so I think I would do great if you wanted to work towards agility training.

As my foster family gets to know me my profile can change and will be updated accordingly. Check back often for details! An application for me can be found at www.justpawsanimalrescue.com.
