Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier (short coat). Adoption Fee: 350.00. Rocket is a fantastic little guy who is already a wonderful companion. He is sweet, playful, great in the car, takes treats nicely, housebroken and sleeps through the night. He knows sit, come and is working on down. Don't adopt Rocket if you want to do household chores or yard work all by yourself, he will want to be right there providing moral support. Also don't adopt him if you prefer walking around your house by yourself because he makes a great little shadow. He is a great cuddler/snuggler. He lives with 3 dogs/1 cat in his foster home. He needed a very slow introduction but is doing well with them. He also doesn't care much about their chickens. He is very smart, and tries very hard to do right thing, he just doesn't always know what that is! He wasn't very well socialized as a young puppy - and at only 8 months old he would love someone to help show him the world is a great place. Because of his young age and trainability, we feel he will continue to blossom in his new home, he only needs his new people to show him the way. Rocket is neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age appropriate vaccines. He is available for adoption at the Pet Pantry's main facility, 26 Millersville Road, Lancaster. If you think he may be the purrfect match for your family please fill out an adoption application! Applications are available at our location as well as online at petpantrylc. From there, our adoption coordinator will be in touch!

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.
