Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Sargent is a nine-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with perhaps some herding dog in him rescued from Devore Animal Shelter. He is a gruff little man with a heart of gold. This sturdy little guy checks all the boxes: confident, smart, energetic and very affectionate. He would thrive in a quieter home as loud noises scare him a bit. He is incredibly good with people but would prefer not to live with smaller children. Sargent would do well with an active person taking him on daily walks. He is good on a leash and doesn’t pull.
Sargent was definitely loved in his former life. When found as a stray, he was already microchipped and neutered. Sadly, when the number on the microchip was called, no one answered or came forward. Southpaw took Sargent to our vet for a full wellness check. Everything checks out: good eyes, good ears, good heart and blood work is healthy. The vet noticed some stiffness in the back leg, so we did some x-rays and were surprised to find that at some point in Sargent's life, he had broken his leg pretty bad. Instead of the less expensive amputation, his former people paid a lot of money to have metalware put in with a pin. The surgeon was good as there are no complications or arthritis in the leg.
Sargent is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. Although 9 is considered “senior”, Sargent really is just entering middle age with his best years ahead of him.

Whether a potential adopter meets the dog at an adoption event or sees them online, we need an adoption application to begin the process
2.
Interview
The second step is a phone call so I can tell the adopter all about the dog, and find out more about their lifestyle.
3.
Home Check
The most important step! All members of the house hold need to be there. I check the yard and the home.
