Story
🚨 **URGENT — PLEASE SHARE! RESCUE/FOSTER NEEDED FOR 4 HOUNDS** 🐾 We desperately need help with **4 hounds that were dropped/abandoned on our property.** We have tried everything we can to safely contain them, but they continue to get out. 🐶 **1 hound — approximately 3 years old** 🐶 **1 hound — approximately 2 years old** 🐶 **2 puppies — approximately 3 months old** This has now become **URGENT** because a neighbor has threatened to shoot them if they come onto their property again. We are doing everything we can to prevent that from happening, but we need to find them somewhere safe ASAP. ❤️ **We do NOT need someone to take all four.** If a rescue, foster, or safe home can take even **ONE OR TWO**, that would be a huge help. We are willing to separate them if that means getting them to safety. These dogs were **not ours originally — they were dumped here**, and we have been doing our best to care for and contain them. 📍 **Bunker, Missouri area**

Jack Jack

Jack Russell Terrier

Male, 11 yrs 1 mo
Saint James, MO
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Jack Jack! He is an 11 year old chihuahua/Jack Russell. He is still healthy. He was adopted out but sadly it was not a good fit for Jack Jack. He needs a quieter environment without small kids and preferably a fenced in yard. Things we have learnt about Jack! Small children over stimulate him. He would prefer if they are visiting to have a safe place to go away from them. He is housebroken but because of his previous injury from a dog attack he is not a fan of leashes. He gets along with other dogs. He is still playful and happy pup. I know that there is a family out there that will give him a forever home. He may not have as many years left as a young dog but he deserves the time he has left to be in a loving home. He is neutered, dewormed, vaccinated, heartworm tested negative, current flea/tick/heartworm prevention and microchipped. If interested, please complete an application found on website.

Story
Okay, let’s talk about this sweet little girl🐾❤️ First of all… Nyla is ALL about the love. She wants nothing more than attention, affection and to be with her people. She is just a really sweet girl with a big personality. Now, let’s talk about her little quirks because this girl definitely has a few. 😂 She is a MASSIVE escape artist. I mean seriously… if there is a way out, she WILL find it. And if there isn’t a way out, she’ll probably figure one out. 😂 So her future home is going to need to be very secure and someone who understands that she cannot be trusted to stay where she’s supposed to just because there’s a fence. BUT.. with that said.. she has no reason to go anywhere if her people are around for her to love on.. just don’t leave her unattended. She does really well with other dogs, which is a huge plus. She loves having friends around and has been a good girl with the dogs here. She is also a but of a puller on a leash, so she’s going to need someone who is comfortable handling a puller and willing to work with her on those leash manners. And then there’s bath time… specifically washing her rear end. 😬😂 Let’s just say she has some VERY strong opinions about that. She isn’t a fan AT ALL. I would recommend no cats for her. And with kids, I think older children would be best simply because she is big enough and energetic enough that she could easily knock a little one over without ever meaning to. She really is such a sweet girl. She has her quirks, absolutely, but at the end of the day she just wants to be loved and be with her people. ❤️ Malamute Match: 🔵 Match 3 – Structure Needed Behavior Code: 🟡 H2 – Moderate She’s going to need a home that understands her, keeps her secure, works with her on her leash manners and gives her some structure. But if you’re looking for a sweet, goofy, affectionate Husky who will keep you on your toes… well, I think we may have found your girl. 😂🐾 Please apply today at decatorsplace.org
