Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier. Artemisia – 15-Year-Old Jack Russell Meet Artemisia, the very definition of a proper older lady. At 15, she has perfected the art of slow living: short strolls, long sunbathing sessions, and sitting quietly to listen to the birds are her idea of a perfect day. She hasn’t met a person or animal she doesn’t like—she’s gentle, social, and happy to share her space with just about anyone. We are currently waiting on the results of her senior blood panel to make sure she’s healthy inside and out. Once those come in, we’ll have a full picture of her medical needs moving forward. As a senior gal, Artemisia is looking for a calm home where she won’t be bumped into or jumped on. She still has some pep in her step, but she prefers a peaceful environment where she can move at her own pace. And while she’s sweet as sugar, don’t be fooled—when food is around, she’ll tell you exactly what she wants. Ignore her at your own risk, because that classic Jack Russell bark will make an appearance. If you’re looking for a kind, easygoing companion with a little sass and a lot of heart, Artemisia is ready to bring her sunshine to your home. Artemisia's adoption fee is $150, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.

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.
