Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier. ENJOYS SOAKING UP THE LOVE: Approx. 12 years old / Approx. 14 lbs. Hi there, I’m Jayne! I’m a sweet older gal who made my way to Mostly Mutts with another dog friend (already adopted) and I’m so happy to be here getting lots of love and needed medical care while I wait for my forever home (see medical below). I’ve gotten to visit 2 short term foster homes, and I’ve just gone into a new foster home, so there may be even more information about me soon. • OTHER DOGS/CATS/KIDS: I came in with a dog that I liked and have met other dogs that were about my size at Mostly Mutts and though I wasn’t ready to play with them, I also did not show any aggression. I spent a week in a home with another nice dog, and we coexisted well together, so if you have a nice dog at home that’s not looking for a playmate, let’s meet! / Cats unknown. / I haven’t met kids yet at Mostly Mutts, so let’s meet and best no very young kids since I’m an older gal. • PERSONALITY/ENERGY LEVEL: I’m a super sweet little lady who just wants the simple things in life – people to spend my time with, soft fluffy blankets to burrow into and a cozy, squishy bed to relax in. I’m calm unless left alone, friendly, and absolutely adore being with people. I settle in quickly and love to keep my favorite humans close, so a stay-at-home or work-from-home family would be perfect for me! I do tend to bark pretty loudly when I’m left alone, so I’m not the best fit for apartment or condo living – but in the right home, I’ll be your loving, loyal little companion and I’ll make sure you always know you are loved. / My energy level is 2-4. • SKILLS/CRATE/POTTY: I know the ‘sit’ command, and I’m sure I can learn more if you would like to teach me. / I’m not a big fan of being in a crate separated from my people and can be loud in it. In one of my temporary foster homes, I did like resting in it with the door open. / I had very few accidents on the shelter schedule and did well in my temporary foster homes when taken out frequently. • LIKES/DISLIKES: I love going outside for little strolls - nothing beats breathing in the cool, crisp air! I’m a big fan of snuggling up together afterward. Beef liver dog treats are yummy, and honestly, just being with people makes me the happiest little pup around. I also enjoy car rides so you can take me places with you! / In addition to not being a fan of being alone much, loud noises startle me. I’m also sure I wouldn’t like it if I didn’t get enough love, attention, and training. • MEDICAL: I'm current on annual vaccinations, micro-chipped and spayed. I’m taking an anxiety medication to help with shelter stress and it’s very possible that I’ll be able to come off this gradually as I settle into my new home. I came in with severe dental disease, and thankfully I’ve just had a good dental cleaning as well as 2 warts removed from my face. I’ve got a grade 3/6 heart murmur that does not require medication at this time and may improve now that I’ve had a good dental cleaning. I am looking for a wonderful home where I will be a cherished family member! My adoption fee is $100.00, and I’m located in Kennesaw, Ga.

Overview:
The Jack Russell Terrier is a small, energetic dog breed originating from England in the mid-1800s, specifically bred by Reverend John Russell for fox hunting. These compact canines are easily recognized by their sturdy, muscular build, typically weighing between 13-17 pounds, with a height of 10-15 inches at the shoulder. Their coats can be smooth, broken, or rough, predominantly white with black, tan, or tricolor markings. Known for their spirited and confident temperament, Jack Russells are highly intelligent but can also be quite stubborn, requiring consistent training and ample mental stimulation. While devoted to their families, their high energy levels and strong prey drive make them better suited for active households with secure outdoor spaces rather than small apartments. They can thrive with children if properly socialized, though supervision is always advised due to their boisterous play. Generally healthy, they can be prone to certain genetic conditions such as patellar luxation, Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, and some eye disorders, making responsible breeding crucial.
