Story
Hello! My name is Beau!I`ve been patiently waiting for a new home since March. I`m an energetic fellow looking for an energetic family that has the time for play and training! I am so smart, I love treats and will do almost anything for a good reward. I do get stressed and bark when I see dogs on walks, or exciting things like bikes. Being a Jack Russell Terrier, I come with springs in my feet and like to spring up when I get excited. I`m doing well with training and am excited to join a family that will keep up my training to help me be a happy and comfortable little man. If you enjoy agility or any other dog sports, I am definitely the dog for you!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: No young children. Teenagers may be ok.OTHER DOGS: No, other dogs make me feel stressed.CATS: No, given my high prey drive.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I would do best with someone who has previous dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Required, unless it`s a rural property.HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings due to my reactions on leash.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessarily.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: High.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I could be a good match for your home, click the `adopt me` button to apply!FOSTER ME!

Story
JET is currently being fostered in TEXAS. Jet is a jack Russel terrier mix apx 6-8 months old and 12 pounds. He loves other animals but is very weary of humans. Jet is not aggressive and doesn't bites but he still runs from us and does not want to be picked up or held. He is a work in progress and we prefer he goes to a foster or adopter with rescue experience. Jet is happy to us and he plays with toys, loves dogs, dances around the yard but does not crave human contact. He is young, and he blossoms more and more every single day. He needs time, patience, routine and a lot of love. Jet was rescued from a high kill shelter. He was cowering in a corner, shaking, eyes wide, stiff and covered in his own feces and urine. He was absolutely terrified. We knew we had to give him a chance. Everyday he does a bit better. Jet will need a fenced yard. He will need to stay on leash and harness for a few weeks until he learns the new routine of his home. He is very smart and catches on quickly. Jet will be about 20- 25 pounds fully grown. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given. To get approved please visit our website www.texaschihuahuarescuecanada.org to fill in an application to adopt.

Story
WISHBONE is currently being fostered in LONDON, ONTARIO Let me introduce you to Wishbone! He is approx. 3 yrs and 18.3 lbs. He is a sweet, cuddly and loveable Jack Russell mix who loves sleeping next to people. He was a Canadian owner surrender. It is essential to research the Jack Russel terrier breed to make yourself familiar with their traits and typical behavior. He had a complicated neuter due to undecended testicle and a hernia and cherry eye surgery. Wishbone also had an ear infection in both ears. It was treated during the surgery. He has recovered wonderfully without any issues. Wishbone will sometimes bark when he hears unknown noises, and he will let you know when someone is at the door, or if he needs something. He is not a destructive chewer. He will chew his own toys, but he will destroy softer toys very quickly. His energy level varies and can depend on home environment. If his forever home has too many things going on, it would stimulate him causing him to be more hyper. However, if the home is quiet, he will be a quiet dog and choose to sleep most of the day. Currently, he stays in a crate while his foster is at work. However, prefers to sleep with his human in bed all night. He is good with other dogs, but has NOT been tested with small dogs. He is currently living with a 55 lbs dog and gets along very well. He would do best with a dog his size or bigger OR as an only dog. Wishbone will chase cats, so NO cats in the home please. He has NOT been tested with kids. Well mannered and dog savvy children over 15 yrs is recommended. Wishbone does require calming meds when going to the veterinarian. He has some anxiety with vet visits and requires these meds to allow the vets to handle him. It is also best for nail trims to be done at the vet. Wishbone does not like being picked up and needs to be approached slowly. He may nip under certain circumstances, but it is very preventable as long as he can see your hands approaching. For example, touching his body without warning while he is sleeping may startle him.

Story
Location : Korea Adoption inquiries: wds3628@nate.com ▶ Relationship with dogs: Gets along with other dogs very well. However, there are times where he barks at dogs who are too aggressive or dogs who bark at them. ▶ Relationship with cats: Hasn’t been in same space with cats, but barks at cats passing by the fence. ▶ Relationship between people: Loves human and being alongside for long period. Loves meeting people when going for walks. Mary sticks her head towards people, as if wanting to be seen. Loves human more than other dogs. If other dogs run towards her owner or seems to bother them, she would bark at them to stop. ▶ Leash training: She is family and doesn’t have aversion towards harness; she enjoys them since she know it means going for a walk. Special note: As a side effect from measle, has tic symptoms, weak front legs and inablity to produce tears. Due to weak front legs, may have some amount of shaking but has no problem at all to go for a walk. Slippery floors may casue her to slip some times but other than that, there are no problems. Mary's left eye has a bit of murky makrs which are improving over time. She has been puting artifical tears to help it. Mary used to have a paralysis on left part of her, but she was desperate to heal, that she overcame it. Her strong will is making her healthier daily.

Story
Mila is a 2 year old terrier/hound mix (likely JRT & Beagle) weighing approx 27 lbs. She loves her humans very much and is very playful and affectionate with them. Mila did not start her life off in a bad way but she did miss out on training, boundaries and socialization. For this reason, Mila has spent time with a professional trainer who has fallen in love with her. Unfortunately, there are limits to the number of dogs a person can have! She loves the outdoors and play time! She’s a very active girl and would do great with a dominant larger dog, she can be too rambunctious for a small dog. Mila is an excellent girl at home when you have to go out, just make sure you have the perfect window for her to neighborhood watch from! She is obviously a high energy girl but likes nothing more than to be tucked in beside her person on the couch!! She gives great hugs and kisses!! Mila will require an experienced owner and home without children under the age of 7. She loves kids but is still learning boundaries. Her adopter will be able to take advantage of some professional advise from her trainer in order to keep Mila improving. Training consistency will be key to keeping Mila on track with her progression. Mila is currently being fostered in Newmarket, ON. If you are interested in adopting Mila, please complete an application on our website: https://www.jrnc.org/adoption-application
