Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier / Dachshund / Mixed (short coat). Meet Jost Van Dyke (but you can call him Van!) Breed: Terrier Mix (Likely Dachshund/Rat Terrier / Jack Russell blend) Age: 10 years young Weight: 18 lbs Hello there! My full name is Jost Van Dyke, but my foster family just calls me Van. I am a handsome, 10-year-old terrier mix weighing in at a perfectly portable 18 pounds. If you look into my very sweet eyes, you'll instantly see what a gentle soul I am. I am a total social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with absolutely everyone I meet—humans and other dogs included! I pride myself on being a very good boy. I already know exactly how to use a doggy door, and I am mostly potty-trained (though I might have a rare accident indoors while I'm adjusting to a new home's routine). I walk wonderfully on a leash and make a great strolling companion. I do get a little nervous during car rides, but with some gentle reassurance from you, I can brave the road. At my core, I am a professional lap dog and a world-class snuggler. My absolute favorite time of day is bedtime, because I love nothing more than burrowing right under the covers to sleep next to my favorite humans all night long. I should also mention that I am very food-motivated! This is great for training, but because I love my meals so much, I can sometimes challenge other animals for food. For that reason, I sometimes need to be fed separately from any other furry siblings in the home so everyone stays happy and relaxed. If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and snuggly gentleman to keep your lap warm, I’m your guy. I have a whole lot of love left to give—could it be to you? .beourpet/adoptions.php #shelterpetlove #adoptdontshop #Vanisyourman GENERAL INFO: Housebroken?: Yes, we think so Crate Trained?: Yes Leash Trained?: Yes Rides Well in Car?: Yes Non-Shedding?: No Good with cats?: Unknown Good with dogs?: Yes Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5 Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.

Breed overview
Overview:
The Jackshund is a delightful and energetic hybrid, a charming cross between the tenacious Dachshund and the spirited Jack Russell Terrier. Originating from designer breed popularity, these dogs inherit a unique blend of traits from both parents. Physically, they typically possess a compact build, often with the Dachshund's longer body and shorter legs, coupled with the Jack Russell's alert expression and sometimes wiry coat, though smooth coats are also common. Their temperament is generally described as playful, intelligent, and affectionate, often exhibiting a keen hunting instinct and a courageous streak. While they can be wonderful family pets, their energetic nature means they thrive with consistent training and ample exercise, making them potentially suitable for apartment living if their daily activity needs are met. Prospective owners should be aware of potential health considerations common to their parent breeds, such as intervertebral disc disease (IVDD) due to their elongated spine, and certain eye conditions or patellar luxation, emphasizing the importance of responsible breeding and regular veterinary care.
