Story

Nod is neutered Jack Russell/Rat Terrier mix born about February 2024. He was found as a stray (Nod is a biblical name that means “wanderer”) and is being fostered by a very nice family who have become fond of him. Unfortunately their dog doesn’t like sharing the home, so they can’t keep him but will foster until Nod gets a good home. He loves to snuggle and not at all a “wild” terrier. He is house trained, leash trained, good with dogs, seems to ignore cats, and is very happy. Adoption fee is $95. This covers the cost of spay/neuter, DHPP, Rabies, Flea, tick, heart worm check, worm treatment, and microchip. To adopt, you need to first fill out an application. Go to: https://rutherfordcountyhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ We are located in Western North Carolina. Optional transport is weekly. After your application is approved, we will contact you regarding cost and delivery if you so desire.December 15, 2025, 4:32 pm

We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for their transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed.

Sycamore

Jack Russell Terrier

Male, 5 yrs 2 mos

New York, NY

Size

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

Details

Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Sycamore! Sycamore is a 5-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with a bright mind, a playful spirit, and a heart ready to grow. At 15 lbs, this energetic little guy is a true JRT—full of curiosity, cleverness, and a zest for life. A former breeder dog, Sycamore has made incredible progress in just a few weeks of fostering. What was once a shy dog who wouldn’t accept touch is now happily letting himself be petted (with a little patience) and even carried. He’s eager to be part of the action, loves to play, and is highly motivated by food—treats are the key to his heart and his learning! Sycamore is crate trained, sleeps quietly through the night, and is almost fully house trained. He enjoys walks and exploring the outdoors, though new sights and sounds can sometimes startle him. A patient family who understands his need for gentle guidance will help him continue building confidence. He thrives with other dogs and would especially love a home with a confident canine companion to show him the ropes. A yard where he can safely run and burn off energy would be ideal. If you’re looking for a smart, food-loving, and affectionate companion who will blossom with patience and love, Sycamore is ready to meet his forever family! ALL adoptions require a completed application and final contract. The application can be found at WaldosRescue.org and once you are approved to adopt you will be put in touch with the foster to see if it’s a good match. We are a RESCUE not a shelter. We conduct veterinary and personal reference checks during the application approval process. We are unable to contact every applicant for every dog. We will select the best applicant for each dog, based on the dogs needs. Waldos Rescue Pen is a 501c3 whose primary focus is rescuing dogs from the euthanasia list from high kill shelters throughout the United States and Korea. ##2546211##
