Jack Russell Terrier puppies and dogs in New York

Meet Mary Monroe: A Pint-Sized Athlete with Brains to Match Her Beauty Mary is a bright, high-energy sparkplug with the raw talent and drive of a professional athlete. At just one year old and a nimble 13 pounds, this Jack Russell/Chihuahua mix is the perfect fusion of lightning speed and sharp intellect. Training as the Ultimate Playtime For Mary, training isn’t just about "learning manners"—it is her favorite way to bond. She views a training session as the ultimate game of teamwork. Much like a game of fetch or a romp in the park, working through cues and learning new skills is how Mary says "I love you." She possesses a "work hard, play hard" philosophy. Her intelligence shines during canine enrichment; she eagerly tackles complex dog puzzles and shows incredible focus during interactive play. Because she craves this mental connection, she is looking for a teammate who understands that a training session is just as much fun as a game of tug. Mary’s Ideal Teammate(s) Mary is seeking a highly active family committed to positive reinforcement training. She isn't just a "walks only" dog; she is a partner who thrives when she has a job to do. To be her best self, she needs: A Social Circle: A home with another young, active, and well-socialized dog to help her burn off physical energy. Mary is a loyal soul who takes her 'inner circle' seriously. She practiced the 'stranger danger' rule and prefers to take things slow with new faces. To help her feel her best, her forever family will need to lead the way with structured, leashed introductions. Once she knows you’re a friend, her true, affectionate personality shines through! Structure & Boundaries: Continued crate time (which she excels at) and clear rules to help her feel secure and confident. A Calm Environment: While she’s a city girl, loud noises like trucks can still startle her. She would thrive in a structured, low-traffic home with older children only. Balance: From Star Athlete to World-Class Napper The best part of Mary? Once the "work" is done and her mind is satisfied, she melts into a plush bed for a nap after a productive training session. She has shown no signs of separation anxiety and settles beautifully in her crate. She enjoys her "me time" with enrichment activities, like a frozen Kong, followed by a cozy snooze. Note to Adopters: Mary recently completed a professional Board & Train program. To set her (and you!) up for a lifetime of success, her adopter will participate in upto three (3) transition sessions with our partner trainer. This ensures you and Mary start your journey speaking the same language. If you are looking for a brilliant canine partner who will challenge your mind and warm your heart, Mary Monroe is the teammate you’ve been waiting for! Vaccinated for rabies, DHPP, and bordetella. Neutered and microchipped.

Dabble - 2 years, 13lbs, Terrier Mix, Neutered This dog is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Level of dog ownership experience required:BEGINNER – “Beginner” doesn’t necessarily mean easy as all dogs will require time, work, and patience, but we predict this dog will be low on the challenge scale because of their breed/age combo. Potentially a good fit for someone who has relevant dog care experience (fostering, dog sitting) and is looking to adopt their first pup.  Energy level:MEDIUM – Needs a daily 60-90 minute walk or window of quick paced exercise (minimum) in addition to potty break strolls (10-30 min each). Also needs significant socializing opportunities outside the home and mental stimulation at home like tricks training practice, chew items, and puzzle toys. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Okay in the city?We don’t know yet because this pup is brand new to us. Most adult dogs do well in the city after they’ve had time to adjust to a new environment, but some never adapt and need homes in the burbs.  Potty trained?Probably! Adults usually are, but all will have transitional accidents for the first week or so. A consistent walking route and schedule plus finding spots with grass or dirt can help. Social with other dogs?Yes, but we don’t know to what degree yet. Some like to wrestle with every passing pup, others can coexist well but prefer to keep to themselves. We’ll learn more soon. Social with cats?Not sure yet! Some breed mixes that are generally NOT great matches for homes with cats include large hounds, huskies, and shepherds.  Comfortable with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)We’re not sure yet, but we try to err on the side of caution. Respectful kids ages 8 and up are probably a safe bet. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age carefully.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP, Bordetella, and Rabies vaccines; heartworm tested if coming from Tennessee or Puerto Rico; spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake How did this dog end up with Social Tees?Most of our dogs come via partner groups who help us save them from shelters where they are at risk of euthanasia in Tennessee, Los Angeles, and Puerto Rico. There are very few spay/neuter resources there and many more animals in those areas than there are people to adopt them. Rescue groups like ours bring them to the northeast where the desire for pets like these allows us to save their lives.  PLEASE NOTE: We cannot guarantee any breed mix, exact age, or full grown size (if the dog is under a year old). We do our best with very educated guesses. This animal is not at the Social Tees office, all are in foster homes. LEARN MORE ABOUT US: socialteesnyc.org and Instagram @socialteesnyc ##2650954##

Harvey - 9 weeks & 6lbs (as of 1/31), Jrt & Beagle Mix, Neutered Expected to be about 30lbs Full Grown Mom is about 27lbs This puppy is eligible to join our foster-to-adopt program. Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Thier Foster Parent Says: "Harvey is an absolute ANGEL! When Harvey isn't napping, he loves playing with other dogs and humans! He is big on chew toys but also loves to just chill and cuddle. He is hanging in the burbs but has made some trips into the city and did amazing in a doggie carrier and slept the whole time! He is totally happy with strangers holding him and giving him snuggles (because he is just so cute and irresistible!) Harvey is so incredibly smart and was trained on wee wee pads by day 2 in his foster home! Any time he has to go potty, he goes right to the pad to do his business. He naps really well in his crate and is very comfortable in there! Because he is a puppy he of course can be a bit mouthy but mostly uses it for kisses. He is truly a special pup and anyone would be lucky to have this sweet boy as their forever pup."  Level of dog ownership experience required:INTERMEDIATE – As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day. The adopter must have relevant primary care experience with a similar breed, temperament, and/or energy level. (Primary care experience includes ownership, fostering, or dog sitting as an adult, not a dog you grew up with.) Relevant puppy care experience is a huge plus, but bare minimum the adopter must have TONS of time and patience. Raising a puppy can be a lot of fun, but it’s also  tremendous work. Puppies’ personalities and exercise/stimulation requirements change dramatically between now and when they’re a year old as their bodies and brains develop, so an active lifestyle and the ability to adapt to a pup’s evolving needs are a must. We strongly urge professional dog training with a rewards based trainer from the get go. Adults only or kids ages 8 and up – all puppies go through a mouthy, rambunctious phase and often accidentally hurt children when playing. PLEASE DO YOUR OWN BREED RESEARCH to make sure you have a better understanding of the kind of temperament and exercise requirements this dog may have as an adult. Energy level:MEDIUM – Very young puppies sleep and nap a lot, but their energy level skyrockets when they become teens (4 months to around a year). As an adult, this dog will need significant structure and plenty of daily exercise, training, and mental stimulation – 90 consecutive minutes of movement in the morning plus potty break walks and brain games throughout the day at a minimum. (This is regardless of dog size – many small breeds were designed for lots of activity and will exhibit unwanted behavior when they’re understimulated.)  Potty trained?Working on this skill. Puppies under 12 weeks old are often on track with their wee pad skills, but they’re too young to walk outside in public NYC areas yet because they haven’t finished their puppy vaccine series. Puppies older than 12 weeks are usually learning to do their business outside. Potty training takes a lot of patience, consistency, and clean up.  COMFORT LEVEL WITH STRANGERSSocial butterfly – Wants to be friends with everyone who walks by, loves anyone who will stop to say hello Social with dogs?Yes. Some puppies are shy, others are bold, but all have the potential to be taught healthy socializing skills. It’s a huge part of raising a puppy and must be done carefully. How they interact with other dogs depends largely on how their humans help them learn to.  Social with children?  (ALWAYS requires adult supervision)Sort of – some puppies enjoy interacting with children, others get easily overwhelmed by their energy and attention. Regardless, most puppies are not a great match for a home with kids under age 8 because they go through intense mouthy play and rambunctious phases and often accidentally hurt young kids while playing. Children must always be monitored and taught to interact with dogs of any age respectfully.   Social with cats?Yes. Most puppies have the potential to be friends with a cat. It’s on the adopter to know their cat’s temperament and preferences and to teach their puppy respectful manners.  Mouthy play: High! All puppies go through phases where they chew your stuff and grab your hands, arms, feet… puppies naturally explore the world, play, and test boundaries with their mouths. (It also happens when they’re teething.) Their teeth are super sharp, so it can be a very painful phase for humans and other animals in the home. Proper training, outlets, and socialization are key. Separation anxiety:Most puppies have some level of separation anxiety as they learn to self soothe. Often they cry the first 10+ minutes at night or when they are left home alone or in a crate. Consistent training and alone time is crucial. MOUTHY BEHAVIORNeeds training – Is either still in the puppy stage or was never trained. Tries to put their mouth on your hands when playing or needs attention, grabs leash, chews on your personal belongings SEPARATION ANXIETY (Please leave your foster dog home alone every day for at least 20 minutes.)Adjusting – Might cry for a few minutes when you first leave the house but settles pretty quickly and has no problem being left alone otherwise.LEASH MANNERSWTF is a leash – Pulls hard. Zig zags like crazy. Has no idea how to walk on a leash or doesn’t have outside privileges yet (too young)CUDDLE BUG LEVEL High – Wants to be in your lap pretty much all the timeJUMPING ON PEOPLE TO SAY HELLONeeds training – Very excited to greet everyone and has no idea how to do so politely. Jumps up on most strangers or other dogs that go by. In puppy phase or wasn’t trained as a young adult. CRATE TRAININGYep/mostly – Seems comfortable in the crate, may whine a little at first but settles pretty quickly. We use the crate when we leave the pup alone and/or at night.  Medical status:Healthy as far as we know. Up to date on their DHPP and Bordetella vaccines, spayed/neutered; microchipped; treated with dewormer upon intake. (For dogs under 4 months old, adopters will need to finish the DHPP vaccine series and administer the Rabies vaccine at 16 weeks of age.)

Please email fostertoadopt@socialteesnyc.org with the animal’s name in the subject line if you are interested! Want to straight up adopt? Submit an adoption application at socialteesnyc.org Thier Foster Parent Says: "Happy has been a wonderful foster so far. He’s picked up potty training very quickly and is already reliably using his mats for bathroom breaks. He has great energy during the day—loves running around and playing with his toys, and we are even working on fetching and few tricks! He is very cuddly if you want to sit with him on the sofa and watch TV, and loves a good belly rub. He’s been quiet in the evenings, and crate time has been overall smooth - he hesitates a little at night when he is put in his crate, but settles in quietly and sleeps through the night. Overall, it’s been a really positive experience—he’s a major sweetie with a lot of love to give."

Hi there! My name is Bowie!! I am a jack russell terrier mix. I am a transfer from a dog sanctuary that I called my home for 2 years. During my time there I learned that I like dogs but am not a huge fan of cats. I do well with meeting new people and am eager to please!! I know a few tricks and LOVE treats. I am a really sweet boy, and cannot wait to find a safe and stable home!

Yeontan Breed: Terrier mix Age: 3 years old Gender: Neutered male Color: Black Weight: 6.1 kg (13.5 lbs) Height: 42 cm (shoulder height)   About Yeontan   Yeontan is a sweet and affectionate 3-year-old Terrier mix with a gentle, people-loving personality. He enjoys human attention and loves being close to his people. If you show him interest, he will happily return it with even more affection — rubbing against you, asking for pets, and showing his belly once he feels comfortable.   He tends to prefer women slightly more than men, but he is friendly with strangers and allows handling easily. He can be picked up and held in your arms, and he truly enjoys being cuddled by people he trusts   Personality & Temperament • Good with people: Yes (very friendly) • Good with kids: Unknown (has not met children under 13, but expected to do well) • Good with dogs: Selective • Good with cats: Unknown (can be tested) • Energy level: Low to medium   Yeontan is not a “party dog” who plays with everyone. He prefers a small circle of dog friends and enjoys calm, gentle dogs who are similar in size or have a softer personality. He does not like large or very high-energy dogs and may avoid them.   Daily Life & Training   Yeontan walks nicely on leash without pulling. He follows his handler well and enjoys calm outdoor time rather than intense activity   He currently does outdoor potty only and is well-mannered in a kennel. He does not show signs of separation anxiety or excessive barking.   Other Behaviours • No food guarding with people or dogs • May guard toys slightly from other dogs • Will bark at dogs who play too roughly with him • Not aggressive, just communicates boundaries • Nervous about getting into cars (needs to be carried in), but once inside, he rides well with no motion sickness   Ideal Home   Yeontan would do best in a calm home with gentle, patient adopters who enjoy companionship more than intense activity. A home with no dogs or with one small, calm dog would be ideal. He would thrive with someone who enjoys cuddling, relaxed walks, and spending quality time together   Rescue Story   Yeontan entered a high-kill shelter in November 2025 and was scheduled for euthanasia. At the time he was found wearing a white collar, which suggests he once had an owner but was likely abandoned. He was rescued in early December and brought to the AKR Center, where he has been safe and cared for ever since Apply to adopt or foster: https://adoptmekr.org  Please also visit our Facebook and Instagram!
