My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Kirby, an adorable smart 5 y/o Jack Russell Terrier.

Kirby is an adventurous guy with a higher energy level, and is smart as a whip. He is potty trained and walks pretty well on a leash, although he has a strange habit of walking on his hind legs (see photo). He is also fully crate trained. He isn't a barker and does well meeting new adults and older children, but like most Jack Russells we think he would be better in a home without very young children. He is excitable around other dogs so he needs a one dog home that is kitty-free because he has a bad habit of chasing them. He has great house manners and isn't a chewer.

Because he is motivated by both squeaky toys and treats and he's smart, he will be a breeze to train. He already knows his basic commands! Because he is so smart and high energy, Kirby needs strong leadership and would do best in a home who is prepared to provide him with training, exercise, and/or fun things to do. Kirby is quite a jumper with his attention on all things over his head. He would love activity that would challenge both his physical and mental abilities. He also likes to cuddle with humans and doesn't mind being picked up. Kirby is currently being boarded in Silver Spring, MD. To schedule a time to meet him, email lizzysadoptions@gmail.com
