My story

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

Matt – small, cute, extremely active, intelligent, loves dogs of all sizes, ambivalent about new people . Although interested in, but a bit wary of strangers, Matt will allow petting & handling.

Matt is a 4 y.o., 12 lb. very energetic & intelligent Jack Russell Terrier. Matt is looking for a family with JRT breed experience who has a small dog secure fenced yard (no electric fences). Older children would be best as Matt is easily startled by quick, sudden movements & is a candidate to bolt through an open exit door.

Terriers were bred as hunters. Like most Terriers, Matt needs a job, an activity, or he may show unwanted behaviors. Intelligent, energetic & athletic, Matt would likely love agility training. With the prey instinct typical of a Terrier, Matt & cats probably shouldn’t mix.

Matt is crate trained & doing well on his house training.

Matt is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, monthly preventatives and microchipped.

Matt’s adoption fee is $450.
