ASTRA - JACK RUSSELL TERRIER / CATTLE DOG / MIXED (SHORT COAT) DOG FOR ADOPTION

Description

Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Cattle Dog / Mixed (short coat). Astra, now in a NJ foster home, is a cute girl who is looking for her new family. Astra was abandoned in South NJ (left tied to a pole!) and taken in by a rescue partner. She is a nice, friendly, playful girl. Astra has been great with the dogs in her foster home and big and small neighborhood dogs (but she was afraid of one big 90-lb male that she met). Astra loves to snuggle, and prefers to sleep UNDER the covers. Her ideal home is a fairly active one; she enjoys walks and play time in the yard. Astra loves to cuddle up close. We're not sure what to say about cats -- she was fine with three cats in her South Jersey foster home, but did not get along with the cats in a possible adoptive home, and even had a couple of incidents with the dog in that home who wasn't thrilled with how playful Astra was. She is great in her foster home with 5 small dogs, however. Astra is up to date on vaccines, is now spayed and microchipped, and has tested negative for heartworm disease. Her adoption fee is $450. Adopting a dog is a commitment that will require annual veterinary care at a minimum, training, exercise, enrichment, etc. Pet care is not cheap or easy and adopters should consider the costs, time and training prior to adoption. After all these dogs have been through, they deserve a loving, committed home. How to Adopt Me!
