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.

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
Currently in Vancouver!!! Meet Macy, a delightful 5-year-old spayed female terrier mix with an adorable brown and white coat, weighing in at 6.5kg. She’s the perfect combination of charm and tranquility, and her personality is sure to steal your heart. Macy might be a bit shy at first, but offer her a treat, and she’ll warm up in no time—letting you pet her and even showing her belly! While she’s not a fan of sudden movements or loud noises from children under 13, she’s otherwise gentle and approachable. She’s even comfortable being picked up when cradled properly. When it comes to other dogs, Macy is polite and curious, happily greeting them but preferring to stick to herself rather than joining in on rough-and-tumble play. She’s more at ease with dogs her size or smaller and tends to shy away from big or overly energetic ones. Even when provoked, Macy is the peacekeeper, quietly stepping away and showing little interest in canine drama. On walks, her focus is fully on her human, even when cats cross her path! Macy has a wonderfully low energy level and loves nothing more than relaxing at home. She’s a dream on walks, never pulling on the leash and happily matching her pace to yours. She’s quiet as a mouse, doesn’t guard her food, and is perfectly comfortable in a crate. While car rides can be a bit daunting for her, she’ll do fine if carried into the vehicle. Plus, she’s 100% potty trained for outdoor living—no mess, no stress! Macy’s foster journey has been incredible. Having started as a timid soul, she’s spent six months with a trainer and has made tremendous strides in overcoming her fears of people. Now, she confidently shows her belly to strangers and enjoys affection from those around her. She knows basic commands like “come,” “sit,” and “paw,” and while she’s calm at home, she’s always ready for a cuddle or a stroll with her favorite humans. Maxy is great with grooming too—nail trimming, bathing, and even teeth brushing are no problem! If you’re looking for a mellow, sweet companion who’s ready to love and be loved, Macy might just be the perfect match for you!

Story
Meet Daisy! This sweet 2-year-old spayed terrier mix weighs 7.5kg and is a rescue pup from euthanasia. Daisy is a social butterfly who adores people, whether they’re familiar faces or complete strangers. She’ll happily approach for pets and cuddles, even showing her belly to new friends. She’s easy to handle and doesn’t mind being picked up, even letting you scoop her up with your arms under her belly. When it comes to other dogs, Daisy is just as friendly. She loves greeting canine friends—big, small, or anywhere in between—and is always up for a play session. People are her ultimate priority, though; if you’re nearby, you’ll always have her attention! Daisy’s reaction to cats and birds depends on their behavior. Calm cats don’t faze her, but she’s naturally curious about those that run away. However, with a bit of guidance, she quickly redirects and follows your lead. With a slightly above-average energy level, Daisy thrives in active households where she can stay busy and engaged. She loves the outdoors and will happily accompany you on walks, though she does have her own ideas about which way to go. Thankfully, she’s easy to guide and makes a fantastic adventure buddy. Daisy is polite about food and doesn’t guard it, whether it’s around people or other dogs. Occasionally, she’ll bark to get your attention when she wants something, often just to remind you she’s there! She’s crate-trained and loves having her own space to relax, often choosing to rest inside on her own. Daisy also enjoys car rides and can hop in and out with a little assistance due to her short legs. Mostly a fan of outdoor potty breaks, Daisy’s adaptable, fun-loving personality and playful spirit make her a wonderful addition to an active family. If you’re ready for a loyal, energetic companion who’ll shower you with love, Daisy might just be your perfect match!

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
