JARRETT - TERRIER / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $350. Available for adoption! Jarrett (fka Cherry) is now available for adoption! This guy is such a big lover and is looking for the love and care he was missing out on in his former life. A concerned citizen got him to a shelter when they found him tied to a pole. He had some very rough looking skin and fur and was underweight when found. He has been getting the TLC he deserves and is doing great! Jarrett is around 2 years old and 60-65 lbs. He has good house manners and is crate trained, house trained and knows “sit.” He also rides very nicely in the car and takes the opportunity to nap. He loves toys but destroys almost all of them so only durable toys with supervision and bones for this guy. He is dog-friendly and has been great in his foster home with many other dogs. Jarret also walks well on leash but could use some training when he sees other dogs. He is friendly and just wants to say hello but that means he doesn’t want to walk again until they have passed. We know this can easily be improved with some training. He is a little too interested in playing chase for kitties in his forever home. Jarrett is an all around love bug! He really enjoys human affection and will gladly come to you for pets and scratches. He can usually be found napping near his person when he isn’t playing or chewing on a bone. We are recommending a home where all humans are teenagers or older. Sometimes he does the pibble nibble and gives you a little love nibble when he is really enjoying being pet. This sweet boy seems to have some allergies and sensitivities, as a lot of bully breeds do. He is on a special food that has helped his skin and fur condition improve. He is a happy, sweet and wonderful boy deserving the very best home! If you are interested in him please email us at almosthome4dogsyahoo! (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 . We do not have an online adoption application; to request an application, e-mail us at AlmostHome4Dogsyahoo. 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!
