Story
**Courtesy Post** Say hello to Daisy! She is a 2 year-old purebred rough coat Jack Russell Terrier. You can’t see it in the picture but her tail is docked. She is a typical young JRT. She likes to run around and play and chase things. This girl has a lot of energy and needs an active owner. Hopefully, her new owner will be home at least part of the day. She is accustomed to having companionship. She needs a securely fenced yard. No electronic fencing, no short chain-link, no wrought iron unless it is thoroughly screened. Daisy will not tolerate any little critters. After all, she is a JRT and she will not want to live with parakeets or gerbils or hamsters or cats or any farm animals. She will do fine with other dogs, especially males. Putting her with another female is not a good idea. Daisy requires a home with no kiddos. She loves attention. At the end of the day she’s happy to curl up next to you and snuggle. Daisy lives in Rockford, Illinois and her adopter will need to drive there to get her. There is a small rehoming fee. Please contact her owner Patty for more information at heck6100@t6b.com

Story
Smokey is a super cute 2 yr old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a heart full of energy and a nose for fun. This little 10 lb guy is on the lookout for an active, loving family who’s ready to include him in all of life’s adventures. Whether it’s hiking, playing in the yard, or exploring new places, Smokey is always up for the challenge. He’s the kind of pup who brings joy and excitement wherever he goes. His playful spirit, curious nature, and endless enthusiasm make every day brighter. Smokey thrives when he’s on the move and loves to be part of the action, so an active home where he can get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation would be his dream come true. While he’s got a spunky side, Smokey also has a sweet, affectionate nature. After a day of play, he’s more than happy to curl up and enjoy some quiet time with his favorite humans. With a little guidance and consistency, he’ll be a loyal and fun-loving companion who’s always by your side. If you're looking for a smart, energetic pup to share your adventures and make memories with, Smokey might just be the perfect match. Come meet him and see if he’s the missing piece to your pack!

Story
Wiggles was an owner surrender at the young age of 9 months. Originally bought from Petland, but family quickly discovered he didn’t match their laid back small lifestyle. (Please research the breed before applying!) Wiggles was fostered with Guardians for 2 months in 2022 and was adopted to a wonderful loving family. Due to a death and having to relocate, Wiggles is in need of a new home that will allow him to run, play, and join in on adventures! Wiggles is a bit overweight and will need to go on a strict diet to shed a few pounds before going on long walks or hikes. Short walks at first. Wiggles is 3 now, and he needs another home that can provide him with some activities and runs in a fenced yard. His favorite toys are balls. He LOVES his rubber squeaky ball or a tennis ball. He does okay on walks, but if he gets out or off leash HE WILL RUN AWAY! He’s a little sneaky stinker. He loves car rides too and loves to be able to look out the window. Treat wise he likes plain Greek yogurt, carrots, cucumbers, and celery. He loves kids, other dogs, he's super lovable. He is used to sleeping in a persons bed under the covers at your feet. He's VERY, VERY smart and VERY food motivated. Wiggles is available through Guardians of the Green Mile (www.gotgm.org) of Portage, IN. Application can be found here: https://www.jotform.us/form/43196636952162Thank you for your interest in adopting a pet from Guardians of the Green Mile Inc.
