Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Rat Terrier / Mixed (short coat). Piper is a 12-year-old, 15-pound Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix in need of a new home due to changes in her owner's living situation. She is a very good dog with adults and older children, forming a strong bond with her person and loving to be close. Piper enjoys sitting with you, hanging out, and being part of what’s going on. She’s smart and trainable, knowing a few tricks and loving treats, and she loves playing with her toys—especially stuffed ones. Piper gets along well with other dogs and is easygoing in a calm environment. Piper can be a little nervous when there are fireworks or a storm is coming, but she will let you know when they are coming. She is crate trained and house trained, and she’ll alert you when she needs to go out. Well-mannered on walks, Piper would do well in an adult-only home or in a household with older, respectful children. She’s gentle, easy to care for, and loves relaxing near her person. If you’re looking for a loyal, low-stress companion who thrives on closeness and routine, Piper could be the perfect match. If you think your home would be a good fit for Piper, please fill out an adoption application at .northstarpets and ask for her by name, PIPER TX!

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.
