My story

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

Tommy and his siblings came from a backyard breeder who didn't want them. A neighbor rescued them to keep him from killing them. We would prefer that Tommy go for out-of-state adoption only.

We know that Tommy is mostly a Jack Russell Terrier. He is just over 1 year of age and weighs 20 pounds. Tommy was terrified of our other dogs at first but now he runs and plays with all of them. He is a JRT. Very active and playful. He loves to run and play chase with the other dogs. He gets really excited by squirrels and can jump really high (over 4 ft). He likes water and gets in the wading pool to cool off. Tommy is a very sweet boy. He likes to sit next to you on the couch and get pets and belly rubs. He loves treats. Tommy obviously received no training from the people he came from but he is smart and learns quickly. He is now crate-trained but still needs work on house training. He needs additional obedience training and also needs to learn house manners because he will chew on things that he is not supposed to.

Tommy is a small dog, so he must be protected from rough treatment by children or big dogs that could hurt him. He must also be protected from outdoor predators. Tommy must be in the house as a loved member of the family. He must be walked on a leash and must have a very secure, 6-foot-high fenced yard to run and play. Tommy is healthy. He is neutered, fully vaccinated (DAPPvL2, Bordatella, rabies), and microchipped. He is negative for heartworms and receives monthly heartworm and flea prevention. Tommy's out-of-state adoption fee includes the cost of ground transport, and he can be transported almost anywhere within the continental United States. Tommy is being fostered in Texas and cannot be transported until after he is adopted. Please send an email to 2manydogstx@gmail.com if you are interested in adopting this active little guy.
