My story

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

Rafa is looking for his furever home 🇨🇦❤️❤️
He’s currently in Penticton, BC

Rafa is a 1-year-old Jack Russel Terrier/Jindo mix (neutered), 24.95 kg (55 lbs)
****Needs an experienced, confident owner who can direct him****

He is good with people and respectful kids. He loves being petted! He has a high energy level and needs to have a space to run for at least 30 mins 3 times a day, preferably with other dogs. He truly enjoys swimming in the summer to fetch a Frisbee and running to play fetch in large fields.

He would be great in a home with a mature dog that is still active and playful. In fact, he would benefit from it. He needs a correction from the alpha owner on how to stay calm and wait and will listen well. He will be a very loyal dog with the right direction.

He has prey drive and will run after a flock of birds or deer. He eventually will recall with the signal of clapping hands. He hasn’t been exposed to cats. He’s not a flight risk in general but gets easily distracted. He’s ok with leash walking but needs more work. With a training collar, he has learned to sit when he is forced to stop.

Rafa is housetrained, but he doesn’t enjoy the crate. He barks and whines when left alone in the crate.

No resource guarding and no destructive behaviour towards furniture – clothing on the floor or food of any kind on the counters is fair game for him.

Rafa is a beautiful, loving, and playful dog. He is a very smart dog, and with an experienced, confident dog owner, he will flourish. Rafa is a dog's dog. He needs another alpha doggy companion brother or sister –a dog that can show him the ropes– plus an experienced owner. He wants direction, and he is looking for it!
