Jack Russell Terrier Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Female, 4 mos
Nashville, TN
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
The name Elowen means “elm tree,” a symbol of strength, protection, and gentle beauty — a perfect match for this sweet, playful girl. Elowen may be a little shy at first, but she warms up quickly and soon shows off her fun, goofy side. She loves to zoom around the house and will happily use you as her personal bumper to stop her momentum — so be ready for some playful drive-by cuddles! She adores her toys and is perfectly content sitting on the couch chewing on one while her brother and sister have an all-out wrestling match. After watching for a bit, she’ll jump in to play for a few minutes… then head right back to her toy like nothing happened. It’s the cutest balance of playful and independent. Elowen is very food and treat motivated, which makes her eager to learn, and she already goes into her crate when it’s time to eat — a great foundation for crate training and future routines. If you’re looking for a pup who is sweet, silly, playful, and happy entertaining herself (with occasional zoomies included), Elowen would love to find her forever family! Local adoption fee is $250 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)

Story
Zola is a 4-year-old Jack Russell Terrier and Cocker Spaniel mix with a sweet, affectionate nature and a playful spirit. She weighs 26 pounds, is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on all vaccinations. Zola has been part of her family since she was a puppy, and she’s now in need of a temporary foster home while her owner moves into a pet-friendly space. She is fully house-trained, crate-trained, and comfortable being alone during the day. Zola loves walks, playtime, and of course, treats—she thrives on attention and affection. She gets along well with other dogs and cats and is friendly toward everyone, though she may bark to alert but has never shown any aggression. Zola is a gentle, loyal companion ready to share love and warmth with a foster family until she can be reunited with her person.

Story
Millie is such a cutie and does so great with humans-she will literally leap in to your arms! She does however have a great dislike of other canines and will vocalize her displeasure and can get snippy with other dogs and so must not be in a home with another dog around. People are great! She does love to go in the car and her fosters take her along everywhere which is awesome! Millie does have a rather significant collapse in her airway system so cannot ever be put under anesthesia so will need to remain intact. She also cannot wear a collar but is kept in a harness instead. She can live a long, happy life as long as her new people understand that her acitivy level definitely needs to be monitored-but she is great with kids and would make a great family pet as long as their are no other dogs around!January 7, 2026, 4:33 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Meet Marie! Marie is a gentle, timid sweetheart who just needs a little time and patience to feel safe in a new environment. Once she knows she’s secure, her true personality shines—and she is truly the sweetest little lovebug! Marie adores playing with other dogs and would be thrilled to have a canine friend in her forever home. She’s also a soft-toy connoisseur and a master thief of blankets and towels—her foster says she loves to sneak them away for cozy snuggles. Because she can be shy and startle easily, Marie requires a secure, physically fenced yard to help her feel safe as she settles in. She may start out shy, but Marie’s heart is pure gold. With the right person or family, she will blossom into the most loyal, affectionate companion. If you’re looking for a sensitive soul who will reward your patience with endless love, Marie is your girl.    Medical Notes: Microchipped Vaccinated Dewormed Maintained on monthly preventatives Spayed   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 8, 2025, 3:34 pm

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Pixie — a tiny dynamo with a big personality! Pixie was found by a kind 97-year-old woman, and while we don’t know how long she lived on the streets, it’s clear this little girl has already overcome a lot. Pixie tested heartworm positive after being rescued and is bravely completing her treatment, which is expected to be finished in early February. Now about 2 years old, she’s looking ahead to a brighter future in a loving forever home. Pixie is a terrier–Chihuahua mix (we think!) who brings confidence, energy, and charm wherever she goes. She’s a high-energy, alpha female who knows what she likes and isn’t afraid to show it — a true “small but mighty” kind of girl. She does well with other dogs and currently lives in her foster home with three large dogs and two other small Chihuahuas. Pixie enjoys walks, doesn’t mind car rides, and once she feels comfortable, she’s perfectly happy entertaining herself with her chew toys. Like many confident little pups, Pixie is protective of her personal space and appreciates having a safe spot of her own. Her crate is her sanctuary, and she may guard her toys — so she’ll do best with an adopter who understands and respects boundaries. She can be vocal at times, as is typical of small dogs, and she makes a great little alert pup. Pixie is still working on potty training, and she’s very treat-motivated, which will help her continue learning and thriving. Pixie would do best with an experienced dog owner who appreciates a confident, spirited little companion with lots of personality. If you’re looking for a spunky, independent, and entertaining sidekick — Pixie might just be your girl. Local adoption fee is $200(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)
