My story

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

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.

Meet this charming 9-month-old male terrier, possibly a Jack Russell mix, who is packed with personality and ready to be the center of someone’s world! 

 

This little guy adores people and will happily be your constant companion—truly a shadow dog who wants to be wherever you are. He thrives on attention and affection and would love a home where he can soak up all the love without having to share it.

 

He is mostly housebroken, though he does enjoy taking his time outside to sniff and explore before doing his business—everything is just too interesting! He walks fairly well on a leash and continues to improve with gentle guidance and consistency.

 

Playtime is one of his favorite things! He loves plush toys, though like many terriers, he can be easily distracted by new sights and sounds. He definitely has a case of “little dog syndrome” and often believes he’s much bigger and tougher than he actually is, which just adds to his spunky charm.

 

When it comes to other animals, he would prefer to be the only dog in the home. He wants all the attention for himself and can get jealous if he has to share his people. He does okay with cats as long as they don’t run, though he may occasionally growl, so a calm, dog-savvy cat or a cat-free home would be ideal.

 

This sweet, spirited boy would do best in a home that appreciates a confident, people-loving terrier with a big personality in a small package. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will stick by your side and keep life entertaining, he might be the perfect match for you!

Go meet their pets

All Scott County Humane Society pets are in volunteers' foster homes. We do NOT have an intake facility and are NOT the Scott County Animal Shelter. All animals in our care are from the Scott County Animal Shelter, an open-admission, county-run facility.


We do adoptions through online listings on websites such as this one, as well as most Saturdays from 11am to 5pm at the PetSmart in Lexington at Hamburg-Pavilion! We also do adoptions at the SCHS Center in Georgetown in the Indian Acres Shopping Center.
