Hi there! My name is Jack! I am a cutie-pie who is 2-3 years old. I am a typical Jack Russell with a high prey drive, so I would do best in a home without cats and other small furry animals. I am selective about which dogs I like and which dogs ... hmm ... not so much. Like most JRTs, I am very smart and I love to work, which means I enjoy training and learning new things. I work hard for food and treats. I am more on the shy side than the outgoing, super social side, but the more time you give me, the more trust and bond we will build. I enjoy a quieter, calmer household than a wild and chaotic one. Too much loud noise and fast movements make me nervous. I need a kind, caring, compassionate and patient human to love me and to help me come out of my shell more. I love to lounge in comfy places, especially laps. I like to be petted and loved. I like to be near people and to spend time with them. When we aren't lounging about, I like to chew on my doggy Nylabone. If I sound like I might be the right pet for you, please apply today! Adoption fee: $80. Adopt a pair: $120. Fee includes testing, deworming, vaccinations, spay/neuter, 30 days of free pet insurance, one session with a certified behavior trainer and microchip.

NOTE ABOUT BREED LABELING: Visual breed identification of dogs is unreliable and usually inaccurate. So, for most of our adoptable dogs, we are only guessing at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each dog
as an individual and will do our best to describe each of our dogs based on personality, not by breed label.
Why is labeling a dog such a big deal? A label will stick with a dog for the rest of its life. A label can mean discrimination, losing its home or even death. Labels are a problem for the dogs when we, as the local experts on animals, allow adopters, politicians and community members to think that the label we assign can predict who that dog is or will be.

Adoption Process: Complete the application at
www.pawsforliferescue.org. We then arrange a location, date and time for you to meet some pets. If the meeting goes well and everyone is happy, you begin the mandatory, minimum two-week adjustment period with the pet as part of your family. You will pay the non-refundable adoption fee at the start of the two-week adjustment period. This pending period allows your new dog or cat time to adjust to their new home, new people, new routine, etc., and for you to decide if it's a match and the right pet for you. At the end of two weeks (some people extend the adjustment time as needed and that's fine too), if everyone is happy, then we finalize the adoption. Feel free to email if you have any questions.
