Story
Moco is outgoing and sweet with people he's met. He likes to go on car rides and walks, especially hikes. Both he and his brother Oreo love to be outdoors and go on adventures. Moco came into the rescue with his brother Oreo. Oreo is a bit shy and insecure. He's sweet with people he's met but can take a while to warm up to people. Oreo does have some resource guarding, but we're working through that. Oreo came into the rescue with his brother Moco. Both have high prey drives and like to chase anything from bees to cars so they can not go to a home with small animals or children. Neither has had much as far as training goes, but both are pretty quick learners. They are crate trained, although they prefer not to be in them, the foster parent has left both in crates while at work and they do well. They both pull while on leash, but do well with gentle lead head collars. They have been on hikes and enjoy those! They love to be outdoors and to explore. They know sit, but do not stay very well. The foster has been working with both with basic manners, although we think they'd learn quicker in separate homes. They feed off each other, not in a good way. Most of us wish the dogs that come into our care could stay together, but sometimes it's better for the dogs to be separated in order to live a happier, healthier life. If these two where adopted together, adopter would need to be very experienced. Together or separate, they'll need some continued basic obedience training. With their physical and personality traits, we believe these boys are a Jack Russell, Corgi and Bully mix. We adopt within 100 miles of Waldorf, MD. If interested please fill out an adoption application www.rescueangelssomd.com. All dogs receive vet care before adoption, including spay/neuter, age appropriate vaccinations, Heartworm/Lyme/Ehrlichia 4DX snap test, deworming, flea/tick/heartworm prevention, and microchip. Indoor homes only and we expect all dogs to be family members. Adoption fee applies and adoption application required.

Story
I am a federal employee who lost my job and I find that I'm no longer able to keep Jack since I'm couch surfing and he is making it difficult for me to find places to live. I have had him for 5 and 1/2 years and got him when he was 3, I got him from a resuce group in Flagstaff, Arizona. He had ended up there after his previous owner died. The resuce group saved him from a shelter where he was going to be euthanized. He does very poorly in a shelter situation and becomes comatose with stress which is why I do want to give him up to one of those places. He has a little bit of a Jack Russel attitude and unfortunately does like to chase cats, though he lived with a cat for 4 years without any problems. He is a sweet and cuddly little guy who is very dedicated to his people. He doesn't have any negative traits like running away or chewing and has no issues with urinating or defecating in the house, though he might mark in a building that has had dogs in it before.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Max — the 5-year-old Jack Russell with the energy of a toddler hopped up on espresso and the job dedication of a mall cop. Max LOVES tennis balls. Like… LOVES-loves. If tennis balls had a fan club, he’d be the president, chairman, and treasurer. He will also proudly collect every single “gumball” (aka mystery yard treasures) he finds outside and present them to you like he’s bringing rare artifacts from an archaeological dig. Max has a thing for talking to cats. Not chasing — he’s far too polite for that. He just likes to narrate their existence. Think of him as their tiny motivational speaker who occasionally forgets his inside voice. But truly, he’s been respectful of the kitties in his foster home and mostly just likes to sass from a safe distance. He’s been great with dogs of all sizes and vibes — from chill couch potatoes to the zoomie-enthusiasts. Max loves to patrol the yard like a security guard on his third round of the night. If there’s a leaf, a squirrel, or a suspicious breeze… don’t worry, Max has already filed a full report. If you’re looking for a loyal sidekick with charm, comedy, and the spirit of a tiny sheriff, Max is your guy.    Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 4, 2025, 6:01 pm
