Border Terrier puppies and dogs in Lake Oswego, Oregon

Welcome to the Annie Eleanor Show, where entertainment is guaranteed and admission is simply being in the same room. This girl is scruff and sweetness, enjoyable all on her own, but give her a toy and she’ll toss it, chase it, pounce on it, and do the whole thing again. You’re welcome to join in, but she has the entertainment covered. And when the fun is over, she will immediately be ready for a little love. Go watch Annie Eleanor on YouTube for a peek at her toy-tossing talents and sweet personality, then come right back. This little sidekick is looking for love in the Pacific Northwest: https://youtu.be/fa7vvr7KeOY Annie is ready to trade her Texas address for a Pacific Northwest welcome mat. To put it simply, Texas doesn’t agree with this little lady’s skin, and her veterinary team believes the PNW will be a better fit for her comfort. Her scruff is making a comeback, in the softest possible way, and she’s doing well with food that agrees with her. Her team will share her menu and what helps her feel good- nothing complicated, just a cheat sheet. Annie will handle packing the toys. What we love about Annie is how comfortable she makes being together feel. She meets new people easily, welcomes attention, and is happy to get right to the part where the love is. She’s playful and funny, but she’s also snuggly. Watching her enjoy herself is a treat and having her come over for some love afterward feels so good! She brings that same confidence to her canine friendships. Annie meets new dogs with ease and enjoys having a playmate. She would fit nicely with another friendly dog, though she certainly doesn’t need someone directing her social calendar. If her friends are taking a break, she can grab a toy and carry on with her own plans. There is something so endearing about a dog who can throw her own toys and look so delighted when she catches them. Annie also has good basic leash skills and rides wonderfully in the car. A walk around the neighborhood, a ride with her favorite person, a little time together on the couch—she’s good company for the everyday things. And that’s a big part of her charm. She’s fun to spend time with, easy to include, and always happy to be share some affection. Estimated to be about five years old, Annie has the look of a Border Terrier, a Norfolk Terrier, or perhaps a very successful collaboration between several scruffy little ancestors. In rescue, age and breed are our best guesses but whatever the family tree, it produced a pretty adorable little dog. We’d love to see Annie with someone who gets as much joy out of her as we do. Someone who will appreciate her toy-pouncing performances, make room when she comes over for love, and enjoys having this sweet little face looking back at them. She has plenty of personality, affection to share, and hopefully soon, a whole new corner of the country to call home. Ready to make Annie part of your family?

  Meet Jack A Handsome Terrier-Shepherd Mix Ready for His Forever Home! Name: Jack (Macho) Breed: Terrier / Shepherd Mix Gender: Male | Age: 4 Years DOB: 10/27/2022 Weight: 14.5 kg / Approximately 32 lbs Good With: Dogs ✔️ | Kids ✔️ | Cats: Unknown Personality: Individual temperament and activity preferences to be confirmed Medical: Neutered ✔️ | Vaccinated ✔️ | Flea Prevention Administered ✔️ | Distemper Screening ✔️ | 4DX Testing ✔️ Location: Los Angeles, California Transportation: Safe transportation coordinated for approved adopters throughout the United States. ❤️ Personality & Breed Information Meet Jack, a handsome 4-year-old Terrier-Shepherd mix weighing approximately 32 pounds! This wonderful boy is searching for a loving forever family who will give him the stability, companionship, and care every rescue dog deserves. At four years old, Jack is a mature adult with many wonderful years ahead of him. He's past the earliest stages of puppyhood and at an age when dogs can continue building strong relationships with their families while learning new routines and skills. With his manageable medium size and interesting combination of Terrier and Shepherd heritage, Jack has the potential to become a wonderful companion for someone who appreciates intelligent, engaging dogs. Although Jack's individual temperament and favorite activities have not yet been fully documented, his breed background offers helpful insight into the type of enrichment, training, and lifestyle that may suit him. About the Terrier-Shepherd Mix Terriers and Shepherds are two distinctive groups of dogs, both known for their intelligence, enthusiasm, and strong working backgrounds. As a Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack may inherit characteristics from either side of his heritage. Typical Terrier Characteristics: Curious and alert: Terriers often enjoy exploring their surroundings and investigating interesting sights and smells. Intelligent and determined: Many are quick learners who appreciate engaging activities. Energetic and playful: Terriers frequently enjoy interactive games and daily exercise. Independent thinkers: They can benefit from consistent, positive training and clear household expectations. Typical Shepherd Characteristics: Intelligent and trainable: Shepherd breeds often respond well to structured learning and positive reinforcement. Loyal and people-oriented: Many develop strong attachments to their families. Active and athletic: Shepherds generally benefit from regular exercise and mental stimulation. Observant and attentive: Their working backgrounds can make them especially aware of their environments. Because Jack is a mixed breed, his individual personality may differ from these general breed tendencies. His future family should be prepared to learn about his unique preferences, activity level, and behavior as he settles into his new home. At approximately 32 pounds, Jack is a medium-sized dog who may fit comfortably into a variety of living arrangements, provided his exercise, enrichment, and companionship needs are met. Jack deserves a family who will get to know him as an individual, appreciate his unique personality, and give him the opportunity to enjoy a happy, secure life. Training, Adjustment & What to Expect At four years old, Jack is an adult dog who will benefit from a consistent routine, positive reinforcement training, and patient guidance. Rescue dogs may arrive with basic training at best, so adopters should be prepared to continue working on house training if needed, leash manners, basic obedience, recall, calm greetings, household boundaries, and appropriate socialization. Terrier-Shepherd mixes can be intelligent and curious, making mental enrichment an important part of their daily routine. Jack's future family should use patience, encouragement, and consistency to help him understand what is expected in his new home. Exercise & Daily Activities Depending on his individual energy level, Jack may enjoy: Regular daily walks and opportunities to explore. Interactive games and supervised playtime. Positive reinforcement obedience training. Puzzle toys and scent-based enrichment activities. Spending quality time with his family. A consistent routine that balances exercise, learning, and relaxation. His exercise routine should be adjusted to his individual fitness, preferences, and veterinary recommendations. Living With Other Pets Jack is considered suitable for homes with other dogs and children, with appropriate introductions and supervision. His compatibility with cats has not yet been confirmed. Because some Terriers have strong chasing instincts and some Shepherd breeds have herding tendencies, introductions to cats and other small animals should be approached carefully. All introductions should be gradual, supervised, and respectful of each animal's comfort level. The 3-3-3 Rule Every rescue dog needs time to adjust to a new environment. 3 Days: Time to decompress, observe his surroundings, and begin feeling safe. 3 Weeks: Time to understand his new household routine, build confidence, and become more comfortable. 3 Months: Time to strengthen his bond with his family, settle into daily life, and begin feeling truly at home. These are general guidelines rather than strict deadlines. Every dog adjusts at their own pace. Jack deserves a family who will provide patience, stability, encouragement, and reassurance as he settles into his forever home. Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care Jack has received important veterinary care and preventive treatment in preparation for his next chapter. His reported medical information includes: Neutered: Jack has been sterilized. Vaccinated: His vaccinations have been administered. Flea Prevention: Jack has received anti-flea treatment. Distemper Screening: A distemper check has been performed. 4DX Testing: Jack has undergone a 4DX screening, commonly used to check for heartworm disease and certain tick-borne infections. Important: The results of Jack's distemper screening and 4DX test have not been provided. His future adopter should review the veterinary records to confirm the results and determine whether any follow-up care is needed. Important Terrier-Shepherd Health Considerations As a medium-sized Terrier-Shepherd mix, Jack will benefit from preventive healthcare and regular monitoring throughout his life. Depending on his individual genetics, some potential considerations include: Joint and orthopedic health: Certain Shepherd breeds may be predisposed to hip or elbow concerns, making healthy weight management and appropriate exercise important. Skin and coat health: Some Terriers can be susceptible to skin sensitivities or allergies. Dental health: Regular brushing and veterinary dental evaluations help prevent periodontal disease. Weight management: Maintaining a healthy weight supports mobility, cardiovascular health, and overall well-being. Parasite prevention: Continued flea, tick, and heartworm prevention should be discussed with a veterinarian. Routine wellness screening: Regular examinations help identify potential concerns early. These are general breed-related considerations and should not be interpreted as diagnosed conditions in Jack. Daily Care & Owner Responsibilities Jack will need: High-quality nutrition appropriate for his age, weight, and activity level. Regular veterinary examinations and preventive healthcare. Daily exercise and mental enrichment suited to his individual needs. Routine grooming, dental care, and nail maintenance. Consistent flea, tick, heartworm, and parasite prevention as recommended by his veterinarian. Continued training and positive socialization to support good household manners. A safe, secure living environment with appropriate supervision during outdoor activities. Plenty of companionship, patience, and affection as he adjusts to his new family. Adopting Jack is a lifelong commitment that includes providing proper nutrition, veterinary care, training, exercise, safety, companionship, and unconditional love.
