Story
Hi all! I'm Freddy. I'm about seven years old, am neutered. and am the most tennis-ball-loving Jack Russell Terrier you'll ever meet! I will chase that ball as long as you throw it for me! In fact, I bring it right back to you and am always ready for you to throw it again. And if you have a tennis ball waiting for me while I am fetching the other one, we can keep going and going! I willingly trade one for the other because I love chasing them so much! Trade is a fun game for me! I'd love to find an adopter who has experience with JRTs. I'm super smart and catch onto things very quickly! The humans joke that I am a big dog in a small dog's body because I love playing fetch so much! I'm not your typical small lap-dog; cuddling really isn't my jam, although I do like to be around people, just not necessarily in everyone's bubble (unless you have that awesome tennis ball, of course!). I'm looking for an adopter who can teach me structure in a positive way! Like I said, I learn very quickly so if you are patient and willing to teach, I am willing to learn. A house with older people, most likely teenagers and older, would make me so happy! I think it'd be great to have older people to hang out and chill with. Depending on your resident dog, I may do okay! Kitties are fun to chase for me, which is not fun for them, so no kitties, please! I love daily walkies and am an on-the-go dude! I would be an awesome pup to take to training and agility. I am so eager to please and have quite the work drive! I'll be waiting for you! Love, Freddy.

Story
Taco is the best! He's full of so much life and so much energy. He's always up for going outside to play and loves when other dogs are around. His ideal scenario is having a backyard to run around in and having other dogs around to play with. He's incredibly social with other dogs and children. He's the greatest dog on earth to play fetch with. You can throw the tennis ball with him for hours and he'll bring it back to you each time (but for some reason wants you to take it out of his mouth lol). If you're someone who wants companionship or a dog that gives you an excuse to stay active each day, Taco's your guy. It breaks me that I can't keep Taco anymore, but I'm on the road 2-3 times a month for work and am usually distracted with work even when I'm home. It's not right and Taco deserves someone who can give him the time and attention he deserves. He's well trained, housebroken and listens well. (Note: We're in NYC)

Story
Hi! My name is Max. I was found dumped in the woods in rural WV. I am an extremely sweet boy who likes to snuggle. I am kind of shy and timid, especially at first but I am an easy going boy and will just curl up and hide when I need a break. I am good with other dogs, people, and cats. I am currently living with two toddlers who make me a little nervous but it’s because I am still trying to there them out. I would love a fenced yard and another confident doggy friend to show me the ropes! I am up to date on vaccines and will be neutered and microchipped soon by the rescue. Currently in WV but can be transported by amazing volunteers to my perfect match!

Story
Hi, I’m Ruby! I was rescued after being dumped in the rural WV woods and left to try and survive on my own. I am a super sweet girl who is a little timid. I am so sweet but still learning life. I would love to have a confident doggy friend and a fenced yard to romp around in. A doggy friend will help me build the confidence I need. I am pretty easy going and like to curl up on the couch with you. I am good with other dogs, cats, and I am currently living with two toddlers. I am good with them but they make me a little nervous and I sometimes will hide when it’s too much. I am up to date on vaccines and will be spayed and microchipped by the rescue soon! I am currently in WV but can be transported by amazing volunteers to you!

Story
Meet Oreo, a 2-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of love and a story that breaks our hearts. Oreo’s world was turned upside down when his guardian was tragically murdered, leaving him without a home or a familiar face to comfort him. Now at our rescue, Oreo is understandably very scared and uncertain of his surroundings. This sweet boy needs a patient and understanding adopter who can offer him the time and care he needs to feel safe and loved again. Oreo may be shy at first, but with gentle encouragement and a calm environment, his true affectionate nature will shine through. If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who has been through so much, Oreo could be the loyal companion you’ve been searching for.
