Description
Dog Breed: Jack Russell Terrier. Hi there. My name is Hunter and I am 13 years old. I am a sweet boy that really enjoys my people's company. I'd prefer to sit on your lap and cuddle rather than play with toys, but don't get me wrong, I still have some pep in my step despite my age! I am here with my fur brothers Swiss and Grumpy as we were surrendered because our owner was losing their home and we had nowhere to go. They did mention that I am housetrained, though I will have an accident if I am left too long unattended. Overall I have good manners and I walk well on a leash and am used to daily walks! I am an old man that can't wait to spend the rest of my years with my new family.Give the shelter a call at (574) 267-3008 or email them at infoawlwarsaw if you have any questions about me! If not, stop by the shelter at 1048 S 325 E in Pierceton, IN 46562 to look at me! No appointments necessary!

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.
