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

Description

Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Meelo is the life of the party! Meelo is about 3-4 months old and is a spunky guy with a zest for anything fun. He is a confident and social pup who loves nothing more than playing with his foster brother and getting love. He brightens up any room he bounces into with his bubbly and carefree personality. Meelo is a growing boy who currently weighs about 6lbs. We estimate he will be around 20lbs when fully grown. Meelo was found after a car accident occurred, and he was brought to a local shelter after his owners couldn't be found. Luckily, he wasn't injured, but his family never came to claim him. We were happy to have him come to us, and he has been loving life in his foster home ever since. Meelo is a fun-loving guy whose ideal family would take him on lots of adventures and make sure his days are full of physical and mental enrichment. He loves to explore and seems like he would be a great running or hiking buddy once he is fully vaccinated. He loves to make new friends and is quick to cover you in kisses when you meet him. He is a smart boy who was quick to pick up the doggie door and would be a great little student for training classes. He is still working on all of his basic manners training, so he will need a family committed to continuing his training to help him be the best boy he can be. Meelo loves other dogs, and his best friend is the young pug in his foster home. They pretty much spend all day wrestling with each other. Meelo is also very respectful of the older small dog in the home, so with proper exercise and playtime with other dogs, he could do well living with an older, less playful dog. Meelo hasn't been around cats, but we think he could do well living with dog-savvy cats after a slow introduction and proper supervision. Meelo could be a wonderful addition to a family with kids 7 years and older. Meelo has been doing very well with his housetraining, but is still learning and will need a family who can be patient while he is learning and be consistent about taking him outside for potty breaks. Meelo has been doing well sleeping in a pen at night and with his pug buddy during the day. He has never been left alone, so he will need a family who can slowly acclimate him to being home alone. Meelo is such a fantastic little guy, and he can't wait to find his forever home. If you think that might be you, submit an adoption application today! Meelo's adoption fee is $350.
