Description
Dog Breed: Chihuahua / Jack Russell Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: $250. Meet Ketrina! Ketrina is a 1.5-year-old tan and white Chihuahua/Jack Russell mix weighing about 18 lbs. She came from the same severe hoarding situation as Friday, and while she shares many of the same sweet qualities, she is the shyer of the two. With each passing day, though, she’s becoming a little braver and a little more open to love. Ketrina enjoys quiet companionship, gentle scratches, and observing the world from a cozy, safe spot. She’s still learning what it means to be part of a caring family, so she’ll need someone patient, understanding, and willing to move at her pace. She is not fully housebroken yet, but progress is being made. Like many small dogs, she can be a bit stubborn, so consistency and positive reinforcement will be important. Ketrina does wonderfully with other dogs and cats, and she often feels more comfortable with furry friends around. She will approach people when she’s ready and has started showing touches of her tender, affectionate personality. Ketrina is spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on preventative care. If your heart has a soft spot for a shy, gentle soul who just needs time to blossom, Ketrina might be the perfect match.

More About Jack Chi Breed
Overview:
The Jack Chi is a delightful designer breed, a cross between the spirited Chihuahua and the energetic Jack Russell Terrier. Originating from the desire to combine the best traits of both parents, this hybrid typically inherits a compact size, weighing between 8-18 pounds and standing 10-15 inches tall. Their physical appearance varies, often featuring a short, smooth coat in colors like black, white, tan, or a combination, with alert, intelligent eyes. Temperamentally, Jack Chis are known for being playful, intelligent, and loyal companions. They possess the Chihuahua's affectionate nature and the Jack Russell's zest for life, making them engaging pets. While adaptable to apartment living due to their smaller stature, they require regular exercise and mental stimulation to prevent boredom and destructive behaviors. They can be good with families who understand their need for consistent training and socialization, especially with younger children. Notable health considerations for the Jack Chi include potential predispositions to conditions seen in their parent breeds, such as patellar luxation, dental issues, and heart problems, highlighting the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
