Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Meet Skipper, a beautiful and spirited 4.5-month-old Jack Russell Terrier, Rat Terrier and Chihuahua mix, weighing in at a delightful 9 pounds. This petite dynamo is a true gem, blending the lively energy of a Jack Russell with the charm of a Chihuahua.
Skipper is not just a ball of energy - she's a sweetheart who loves to cuddle and be held. Although initially a bit shy, Skipper isn't one to shy away from affection. Grabbing at her might be a tad intimidating, but the patience to let her come to you is undoubtedly rewarded. When she does, it's a heartwarming experience as she snuggles close, sharing her warmth and affection.
Playtime is where Skipper truly shines. She's a playful soul who actively seeks out interaction. Whether it's a game of fetch, a playful romp in the yard, or a wrestling match with her larger foster siblings, Skipper is always up for a good time. Her boundless enthusiasm and infectious energy make her a joy to have around.
Skipper is not just a playmate; she's also a well-mannered companion. She excels in her crate and has proven to be house-trained, with no potty accidents to report. Her adaptability and good behavior make her a great fit for a variety of living situations.
Skipper's friendly nature extends to everyone, making her an ideal companion for families with children. Her manageable size and gentle demeanor ensure that she's a fantastic addition to any home.
Are you ready to welcome this delightful mix of Jack Russell Terrier and Chihuahua into your life? Skipper is eagerly awaiting the perfect family to share her love and playfulness. Come meet Skipper and discover the joy of having a loving, playful, and well-behaved companion by your side. Your home might be the perfect harbor for Skipper's forever journey!
