Dexter is an 8-year-old Jack Russell Terrier we’ve had the joy of raising since he was a puppy. He’s energetic, affectionate, and loves attention. Especially belly rubs and sitting on your lap. Dexter thrives in calm, loving environments and would do best with someone who can give him plenty of companionship. He’s house-trained, neutered, and up-to-date on his vaccinations. We’re looking for a new home where he’ll be just be cherished.

Story
I recently had a baby and have another child under 2 years old. It has become too much for our household to care for a dog as well. Odie is 3 years old and has been fully potty trained. However he started marking territory in our house a few months ago. I suspect he needs to be potty trained again which is too much for our family to take on having 2 small children and another child. Odie is very loving and energetic. He would be a great companion for someone who can give him the time and attention he needs.

Meet Fern 🌿🐾 Fern is quite possibly the cutest Jack Russell ever—and at just about 10 months old, he’s already a professional snuggler. His absolute favorite place to be is tucked into your arms while soaking up endless belly rubs (and yes, he takes this job very seriously 😂). This sweet, outgoing boy has a heart as big as his personality. Fern loves people, loves affection, and is always ready to share cuddles, kisses, and happy energy with everyone he meets. If you’re looking for a loving companion who wants nothing more than to be close to you and part of the family, Fern is your guy. Fern is ready to snuggle his way right into your heart—and your home! 💚

Story
Hi, I'm Piñata! I may be young but I have had such an eventful life so far. The vet estimates my age at 3 but my foster family says I act more youthful. I have seen the world as a stray pup and raised 6 of the sweetest Sugar Skulls. Now that they are weaned and doing their own thing I'm ready for my next adventure!! I love toys especially balls. I can throw the ball and entertain myself but I love when someone else throws the ball for me to chase! I am all about spa days where I get pampered with a warm bath and rub down after. I love to travel(a throw back from my backpacking, stray pup days) I will do a little happy dance when it's time for a road  trip. The best thing is after a day full of fun? Getting to curling up on the couch with my favorite person and a good movie! I'm a feisty red head looking for a place to put down roots. Do you need a partner to go with you on excursions?  All of our dogs are spayed or neutered, up to date on age appropriate vaccinations, microchipped and if over 6 months of age, heartworm tested and on heartworm preventative in their foster home. We require an approved application to meet any of our dogs. We do not have a shelter location and will not arrange a meeting without an approved application. We strive to make sure the bios provided for our dogs are complete and accurate; we do understand that mistakes happen, however, so if you absolutely cannot find the answer to your question in the dog's bio, you can contact us for more information. We require a home visit for each dog we adopt out, so we adopt within a 2 hour radius of Dayton, OH. If you are outside of this radius, we encourage you to contact your local rescue or shelter.   December 17, 2025, 4:57 pm

A spirited Jack Russell terrier mix with a heart twice the size of her tiny frame, Glimmer’s journey hasn't been a typical one—but she’s ready for her happiest chapter yet. A Brave Journey Glimmer’s story began in Alabama, but her dreams were much bigger than the Deep South. Despite being completely blind, this courageous puppy didn't let the unknown slow her down. She hopped on a transport and traveled all the way to Ohio, trusting that her forever family was waiting somewhere at the end of the road. Personality & Perks Don't let her lack of sight fool you—Glimmer navigates the world with her sharp nose, her perky ears, and an incredible sense of joy.• Toy Enthusiast: She has a "Jack Russell" engine under the hood! Glimmer loves toys that squeak, crinkle or jingle. She uses her keen hearing to track her playthings and will proudly "hunt" them down in the living room.• Professional Cuddler: Once playtime is over, Glimmer’s favorite place to be curled up in your lap under a warm blanket. She lives for human connection and will happily snooze in your lap for hours.• Resilient Spirit: She is a fast learner who maps out her environment quickly. She doesn't see obstacles; she just sees more things to sniff! The Ideal Home Glimmer is looking for a family that understands that "special needs" really just means "extra special love." She would thrive in a home where:• The furniture stays in a consistent place so she can map her surroundings.• Her humans are ready for plenty of playtime followed by serious snuggle sessions.• A patient hand is ready to guide her as she continues to grow and learn. Glimmer may not be able to see your face, but she can certainly feel your heart. She’s traveled hundreds of miles just to find you—are you the one she’s been waiting for?
