FURBY - CHIHUAHUA / JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / MIXED DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed. Adoption Fee: 550. Furby ​has this constant, goofy grin that makes it look like he’s always in on the joke, and his lighthearted energy is contagious. He gets along well with the other dogs in his foster home and fits in easily with the pack. He came from a Texas animal control, likely a stray, though he’s got the social skills of a dog who once had a home. He does occasionally lift his leg to mark, but with consistency and a little structure, he’s the type of dog who has quickly settled into a routine. Furby sometimes joins the barking chorus when other dogs react to foot traffic outside, especially on the bayou trail near his foster home. But otherwise, he’s pretty easygoing. He’d love to have a canine buddy, but it’s not a requirement—he’s just as happy bonding closely with his human​. Furby does display some guarding behavior of his humans. A quiet home with one or two people who can work with him on this would be ideal. All in all, Furby is a cheerful, affectionate dog who wants to be part of a home ​. With a little guidance, he’s going to be someone’s very best friend. Furby is from Texas. If you are interested in getting to know this animal better, please fill out an adoption application.
