Story
Meet Captain Jack O'Neil. He is a 7 year old Jack Russell and weighs 16 lbs. O'Neil is the sweetest little guy and he just loves everyone he meets. But not cats-no how, no way. O'Neil came to us after his people moved, and sadly couldn't take him. He is housebroken, walks fairly well on a leash with a no-slip halter, and is not a picky eater. His favorite place to be is beside his people, be it hanging out on the couch, playing ball or snuggling under the covers with you at bedtime. Not a fan of a crate, but since he is such a good boy, that hasn't been a concern. And he is always up for a car ride! A typical Jack Russell - he loves to chase squirrels, birds, anything small and moving, so a very secure fence or outings on a leash at all times is necessary. He will do well with a laid back, easy going dog, after a slow introduction. He is great with kids. Vet reference and meet and greet required.

Story
Artemisia – 15-Year-Old Jack RussellMeet Artemisia, the very definition of a proper older lady. At 15, she has perfected the art of slow living: short strolls, long sunbathing sessions, and sitting quietly to listen to the birds are her idea of a perfect day. She hasn’t met a person or animal she doesn’t like—she’s gentle, social, and happy to share her space with just about anyone.We are currently waiting on the results of her senior blood panel to make sure she’s healthy inside and out. Once those come in, we’ll have a full picture of her medical needs moving forward.As a senior gal, Artemisia is looking for a calm home where she won’t be bumped into or jumped on. She still has some pep in her step, but she prefers a peaceful environment where she can move at her own pace. And while she’s sweet as sugar, don’t be fooled—when food is around, she’ll tell you exactly what she wants. Ignore her at your own risk, because that classic Jack Russell bark will make an appearance.If you’re looking for a kind, easygoing companion with a little sass and a lot of heart, Artemisia is ready to bring her sunshine to your home.Artemisia's adoption fee is $150, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.

Story
We received Gyp as a foster, then two people never showed up for him. As much as we love him and he's so snuggly, we aren't home enough for him. He would do better with another pet in the home if his humans are out all day. As of right now he is crated all day while we work. Crate trained, potty trained. Does extremely well on a leash. Loves to play with his toys but also loves his snuggles on the couch each night. He lives for car rides! Knows his commands and listens EXTREMELY well. Any other questions please contact me.Thank you
