Story
Cowboy is approximately 12 years old and in great health. He loves chasing squirrels, toasting in the sun, play tug of war, and the usual games. He's very friendly with other dogs, and has been a great pet. We originally adopted him for my wife's grandmother 10 years. When she passed a couple years ago we took him in with the intention of finding him a new forever home. We previously had two dogs, and 3 dogs has become too much. We recently moved across the country and no longer have the space for 3 dogs. Cowboy would love to be in a home as a single dog or with others, and doesn't require anything other than love and affection.

Story
Max saw the Vet on 10/25/24 and is up to date on all his shots. Vet said he's very healthy. He's 18.6 pounds. Max is cuddly and adorable and has endless energy. He likes fetch and would be perfect in a family with young kids or an adult who likes to take him to the dog parks and walk him regularly. I stated he was a Jack Russell Terrier because the form didn't offer Mixed Breed. He looks like a Jack Russell Terrier. Which means he has high energy and at 2 1/2 years old, it's not abating. He sleeps beautifully in the bed, under the covers without moving. He is also crate trained. He has lots of antics and is funny to watch. He is a bit randy and humps some of the females in the park. But he's fickle. The next day, he will pick another female critter. When he's tired, he's the best. He loves kisses and his belly rubbed. He has been taught to sit for treats and not run out the door if you say "Stay". He marks when visiting other homes. Bring diapers.
