Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Adoption Fee: 250. Gambit is a 6 month old, 14 lb cutie who believes the world is made of friends he just hasn’t met yet. This happy boy loves everyone and gets along beautifully with other dogs, cats, and kids. He is mostly full grown and is expected to stay under 20 lbs, making him the perfect compact companion. Gambit is a total sweetheart with a playful spirit and a zest for life that shines through, especially after a rough start being left on his own. Now he’s making up for lost time and enjoying every moment. He is neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and kept protected with heartworm and flea and tick prevention, and he’s ready to bring joy, wiggles, and love into his forever home.

While we do everything in our power to provide healthy rescues, it's important to note that some animals may have genetic health conditions we cannot predict (since we don’t have their family history).

Breed overview
Overview:
The Jack-Rat Terrier, a captivating crossbreed of the Rat Terrier and Jack Russell Terrier, originated from the desire to combine the best traits of its energetic parents. These medium-sized dogs typically sport a short, smooth coat in various colors, often with distinctive markings, and possess a lean, muscular build. Temperamentally, they are known for being intelligent, highly energetic, and affectionate, making them a lively addition to the right household. While their size might suggest apartment living is possible, their significant exercise needs mean they thrive with a yard and an active family committed to daily walks and playtime. They are generally good with children and other pets when properly socialized, but their strong prey drive requires careful supervision around smaller animals. Health-wise, they are generally robust but can inherit predispositions to conditions like luxating patella or leg-calve-perthes disease, common in their parent breeds. Early training and consistent mental stimulation are crucial for a well-adjusted Jack-Rat Terrier.
