My name is Adelaide!

*By appointment only
Hello, my name is Adelaide and I’m a 5 year old Jack Russel/chihuahua/rat terrier mix (in that order for percentages). I am sweet, smart, and sassy in the best possible way! I am crate trained, walk well on leash, and I don’t pee in the house more than once a month (hehe, sorry I am 25% chihuahua). I know multiple commands including- sit, lay down, stay, crate, potty, “watch me”, and even how to freeze with a treat on my nose until I get the all clear to swipe it! Don’t let my small size fool you, I am over 66% working breeds and have tons of energy! I require 1-2 hours of daily exercise with ample mental stimulation. I can do some really cool stuff like follow an agility course, play fetch, solve puzzles, and run beside humans while they skate. In true Jack Russel/chihuahua fashion, I am territorial and bark when people visit so expect some noise. I happily live with a senior cocker spaniel but I can be fearful of energetic, larger pups and will often run away and growl/snap if cornered. In spite of my reactivity, I really do enjoy living in a pack and would love a dog friend to share a home with. I am comfortable coexisting with cats though my hunting genes can get the best of me, causing me to chase. Ideally, I’d like to live somewhere with a large yard where I can get my zoomies out and explore. I’m also a big cuddler and desire a home where I get daily, quality time with my person. I often do a happy dance and run to the couch when asked if I want snuggles (bonus points if you have a blanket for me to burrow under). Due to my breed mix and selective reactivity, I would do best in home with older children and an active, experienced adopter. If you are that person and want a lifetime of laughs, adventures, and hugs- please apply!
