Dori

Chihuahua Jack Russell Terrier

Female, Senior

Waltham, MA

Size

(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Dori is a pet I've had for well over a decade, who's been with me between two different moves. She's lived with several other pets during her life, including 2 cats and 2 dogs. Dori likes chasing squirrels, which are pretty common in the areas I walk her around. She also loves wearing clothing, and will enthusiastically jump into a harness. When I was a kid, I remember really liking the unique sounds she made when she yawned. Dori is about 13 years old now, but she still has energy. That said, she'll start to howl if left alone at home, and is needy about walks. She can coexist with other dogs at home, but might be apprehensive around cats or strangers. If anyone does take care of her, it's recommended that they have someone at the house capable of addressing her needs at almost all times of day.

Story

Rex is an 8-year old, very energetic pitbull. He was adopted at 8 weeks old in Massachusetts. He is a sweet boy who loves intensely. This can cause him to have big feelings in the house. He has separation anxiety and would need an owner who is willing to put in the time to work with him. He loves to run around and be around his people. We can no longer take care of Rex. His ideal home would have someone who is willing to work with him to work on his outside manners as well as his anxiety. He is a very sweet dog who loves attention and play. Recent events have made it not possible for our family to care for Rex anymore. He would be a great dog for any owner who is willing to put in the effort to work with him.

Story

Jules is a fun loving goof ball who loves nothing more in life than chasing his orange rubber ball all day long. He is more of a people dog than a dog, dog and is soon to be 10 years old but has the energy of a 5 year old. His place as king of the household has changed with two young sisters now running around and sadly he cares so much about them that he howls/whines every time they cry. He would be much happier to have another house to himself so he can chase his ball in peace.

Annie is crate-trained and loves to curl up in a ball on her bed but she would prefer to sleep with her humans if permitted. Annie is a high-energy dog and requires daily exercise.
