Virginia - Jack Russell Terrier / Terrier / Mixed Dog For Adoption

View more

d settles down very nicely once in her crate (it’s her “calm space”). She is fairly well house-broken at this point as well and has had very few accidents. Virginia spends the night in her crates here and has slept through the night the entire time. She loves being around her human and doggie friends and wants to be around them at all times! She is good with other dogs and is very excited to play with them. She may not be great with smaller dogs since she is a bit of a nipper/rough player (you can feel free to leave this out – just my experience with Dunkin & Darcy). She is also good with kids but due to her energy levels may not be great for toddlers (again, just an observation since she jumps up and would knock most small children down). Virginia loves entertainment and has gotten quite good at playing with toys inside the house as well as playing fetch outside (she even brings the ball back sometimes!). She loves going out on walks as well and is good on a leash unless tempted by making new friends (human or dogs!). She loves running around in our fenced in yard and is surprisingly fast for such a small pup! Virginia would be a great addition to a family looking for an energetic puppy who fits in with their active lifestyle! Virginia is a happy, bouncy little terrier mix who is cute as can be. She is 21 lbs and under a year old. Please stop by an upcoming Meet & Greet to find out if Virginia is the right one for you! (Local adoptions preferred — Philadelphia and tri-state area [South Jersey and northern Delaware] only.) PLEASE READ BEFORE CONTACTING US! We are NOT a shelter: All of our dogs live in private homes with foster families. Come and meet the Almost Home dogs and their fosters at our Meet & Greet events, where you can learn more about our wonderful dogs from the people who live with them, find out which dogs are on their way and when they’ll arrive, and fill out an application to adopt or foster. We cannot adopt to homes where electric-shock fencing systems or training collars are used. For more information on the dangers of electric-shock collars, please visit banshockcollars.ca/studies.php and http://www.hollysden.com/say_no_to_shock.htm (scroll down and click on the "Invisible Fencing Systems" link). We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogs@yahoo.com. To speed e-mail processing time, be sure to note the name of the dog you are inquiring about in the Subject line. For Meet & Greet times and locations, visit our home page, where you also will find information on our adoption process and fees. FOSTER FAMILIES ARE LIFESAVERS!! Can you open your heart and home for a few weeks to homeless shelter dog? Remember, by fostering a dog, you save TWO lives — that of your foster dog, and that of the dog who takes his place in the shelter! Come to a Meet & Greet and find out if fostering is for you — there's no reward quite like the feeling that you've saved a life ... or two!
