ADOPTED 02-01-14
A very sad start for this little pack of pups to be introduced to a world where they are thrown out like trash within the first few months of life. A southern volunteer was alerted to their awful predicament and she pulled them from the depths of their despair, dusted them off and took them into the shelter before a trash truck arrived. These little angels could have been lost forever, but here they have a second chance at life. Now these little heart breakers are seeking a forever home, someone to show them there is love in this world, because their first owners obviously did not.
With a mix, you never know how they will turn out. It could end up with traits from a cocker spaniel or a Jack Russell. It may end up getting some traits from each of the parents. Every dog in the litter will be completely different because it's a mix of traits. Either way, they are both great dogs so don't worry; the traits and their temperament will be good!
This charming heart breaking story of this little pack of pups will touch the lives of many, but only one lucky family will have the chance to adopt one of them and bring her into a home filled with love and understanding. Apply for adoption today and be the one that writes the last chapter of their rescue story.
BREED SUMMARY
AN OWNER OF A RED HEALER / JACK RUSSELL MIX WROTE:
I have a Red Heeler/Jack Russell mix but he definitely took after the Red Heeler in markings and personality. Scrappy Doo is a two year old, energetic, fun loving, protective part of our family. Thankfully we have a huge back yard and he uses all of it! He has been easy to train and is very smart. He chose my 15 year old as his human and will protect all of my children if he feels they are being threatened. He is great with my 9- and 11-year-old Shih Tzus. Wouldn't trade him for the world! He keeps our family entertained with his tricks and his idea that he might actually "get the squirrel."
The Blue Heeler is a highly intelligent, energetic, independent and obedient dog. They love to be around humans and mix very well with children who were around them from their puppy stage. They have a courageous personality makes them excellent watchdogs. They usually weigh about 35 to 45 pounds and live for 10 to 12 years. Heelers are farm dogs by nature and seldom do well in apartments or heavily urban atmospheres.
Jack Russell Terriers are the biggest dogs you'll ever meet in such a tiny package. They are sharply intelligent and absolutely nothing gets past them. There is no fooling a Jack Russell. They are spirited terriers, fearless and sassy with minds of their own and aren't above causing mischief to get a laugh. They are highly trainable and are famous for their high-jumping antics. When raised alongside children, Jack Russells make fine family dogs. They are exceptional athletes who excel in the competitive arena.

Our rescue is ONLY in the business of offering FULL DISCLOSURE to adopters, and expects and hopes to engage your questions and concerns fully. We owe it to the dogs we rescue and all the wonderful families/adopters who might consider welcoming our charges into their hearts and home. Our dogs are waiting for that ideal forever home where they will be cherished as deserving family members. It's sad these second chances are even necessary for these dogs, but we are committed to them and will devote the time and energy to their rehoming, and not just MOVE them to save more dogs. We diligently and responsibly seek good matches as we don't want to re-home the dog again. These animals have already endured more than they should have, and through no fault of their own. It behooves us to be honest and forthright, and we appreciate the same in return from applicants. It's that winning combination of reciprocal trust and respect that allows for successful placements to be made. Happy adopters translate to happy dogs, and that's our goal!
Our rescue volunteers will be more than honored to be in touch with you directly and promptly, after receiving your application and conducting a mandatory a veterinarian check. If you have never owned a dog before, please submit your application regardless, and we will be in touch with you as soon as possible. TAKE NOTE YOU SHOULD CHECK YOUR SPAM AS SOME RESPONSES FROM US WIND UP THERE WE'VE DISCOVERED. Also, take care to contact your veterinarian to let them know a member of rescue will be inquiring about your pet history!
Thank you for respecting that we all donate our time to saving these animals, and understand we value your philanthropic and compassionate desire to help be part of the rescue team. That said, you'll understand why we are committed to the well-being of our charges and consider this veterinarian check mandatory. If you are a first-time dog owner, we will work with you every step of the way! ADVOCACY AND EDUCATION ARE AS MUCH A PART OF RESPONSIBLE RESCUE AS ADOPTION! And it takes a RESCUE VILLAGE to help the most dogs possible in a thorough manner to ensure success on all fronts, and then some! It is an awful feeling to fail a dog, and we can't continue rescue if we don't do everything we can to ensure good matches for the dogs and tender families who might adopt them. THANK YOU FOR UNDERSTANDING.
Although we are an extremely small rescue group, we understand and respect your family's eagerness to be in touch and learn as much as you can about the dogs you are considering adopting. Our very experienced and devoted trainer will be happy to share all aspects of OUR RESCUE DOGS to determine compatibility once you've submitted your application, and another of our volunteers will explain the whole process of our rescue and answer any questions you might have as well
