Story
✨🐾 Meet Ginny: Small Dog, Big Personality! 🐾✨ Ginny may be pint-sized, but don’t let that fool you—this approximately 3-year-old Jack Russell Terrier X is packed with spunk, smarts, and confidence. She arrived at the shelter as a stray (with a mystery backstory we may never solve) and, sadly, was never claimed. Now she’s ready to claim a home of her own. True to her JRT roots, Ginny is friendly, social, and active. She loves meeting people and happily greets everyone like they’re her long-lost best friend. She’s a nice balance of outgoing and calm, but she definitely comes with that classic Jack Russell zest for life. Ginny already knows how to sit, but she’s also known to jump up and pull on leash—enthusiasm is kind of her thing. Continued obedience training will help polish her manners, and the good news is she’s smart and eager, making her a great candidate for training with consistency and patience. While she did well meeting another young dog at the shelter, Ginny can be a bit of a bossy boots with other dogs. She’s confident, direct, and expects others to respect her boundaries—especially around food. She communicates clearly without escalating, but she does best with slow, controlled introductions and dog friends who match her personality and respect her leadership style. Despite her smaller size, Ginny needs a family ready to provide daily exercise and mental enrichment to keep her happy and healthy. She’ll thrive in a home that understands and appreciates the quirks of a Jack Russell Terrier—because with Ginny, what you see is what you get: bold, bright, and full of character. If you’re looking for a fun, feisty, and loving companion who knows her mind and isn’t afraid to share it, Ginny just might be your girl. 💕🐶 https://www.hamilton.ca/home-neighbourhood/animals-pets/adopt-or-foster-pet/adoptions Animal adoptions and viewing are by appointment only. This allows our Adoption Staff to spend quality time with each potential home to ensure the most successful matches are made between the animals and their new families. *Please note: we only adopt within Ontario

Story
Frankie (a.k.a Freckles or Frank) arrived in Canada from St. Lucia about a year ago and has been adored from day one! He’s a gentle, cheerful, playful little guy who loves kisses, cuddles and people with his whole heart. Frankie is a sensitive boy who loves having his person all to himself and enjoys being the main character in the household. He is currently living his best life in a foster home where he has quickly learned new tricks and commands. He is an all-terrain, all weather, booty trained dog who loves the outdoors, hiking or going on long walks. But he also likes his downtimes and snoozes when his person is in a meeting. He is friendly with guests after giving them an initial enthusiastic welcome. One friendly sniff and your guest will become his best friend. Give him a treat and you can make him do anything! Now Frankie’s looking for his forever family, where - as an only dog - he can get all the pampering that this beautiful boy truly deserves! This unique boy has a rare but very manageable immune-related skin condition (ischaemic dermatopathy). It’s not contagious and is easily controlled with regular medication, supplements, sun protection, and a fish-based diet to stay healthy. Flare-ups can happen with intense sun exposure, stress, or vaccinations. Frankie just needs a loving, active and caring family committed to his ongoing care and regular vet check-ups. If you want a loyal and goofy little shadow who’ll love you endlessly, Frankie is your perfect match! Frankie’s adoption fee is being waived—we really want this sweet boy to find the loving home he deserves. 🏡🐶

Story
Currently fostered in Texas. Effie is Apx two years old and 20 pounds. We believe she is either a rat terrier or Jack Russell terrier mix. She came to the rescue heart worm positive but has been treated and will be ready to go after Feb 6th. She is a really good dog in many ways however she shows many terrier hunting breed qualities and does have a high prey drive to chase small animals like chicken, cats and can be quite dominant and plays too rough with small dogs as well . She would do best in a home with dogs her own size or larger. Or as an only dog. She does have a lot of good qualities. She is very social. She walks on a leash perfectly. She has good potty manners. She loves all humans, including children. She is a happy , clean, sweet, well mannered dog that is very people pleasy and will be easy to train and acclimate to a new home and life. She is a perfect blend of active , playful and fun mixed with huge cuddle bug couch potato. She loves belly rubs and is very submissive with people. She is a lover girl and will make a great companion for the right family. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.

Story
 Under AKR Custody Review (Adoption temporarily on hold pending resolution of foster situation) Currently in Vancouver!!! Name: Mongmong Age: 4 years old Sex: Neutered Male Breed: JRT (Jack Russell Terrier) Mix Color: Black, tan, and white Weight: 9.5 kg (20.9 lbs) Height (at shoulder): 32 cm (12.6 inches)   Mongmong is a sweet and affectionate pup who loves people — whether you’re a familiar friend or someone he’s just met, he’ll happily come over for pets and attention. He’s especially gentle with young children and is comfortable being picked up with arms under his belly. Once he warms up, he’ll even show you his belly! He’s curious about other dogs and will approach them to say hello, though he doesn’t typically engage in play. Gentle with cats, not much interest in them. Mongmong has a moderate energy level and enjoys outdoor activities like walks, but settles down calmly afterward. He’s well-behaved on leash, doesn’t pull, and follows his human companion nicely. He is not food aggressive and remains calm in a kennel or during car rides. Mongmong was found injured, likely from a car accident, and was at risk of euthanasia at a municipal shelter. After being rescued, Mongmong had one eye removed due to phthisis bulbi, a condition that caused his eye to shrink and lose function and had hernia surgery on 25.05.01-but he’s recovered beautifully and is now ready for a fresh start Mongmong is a brave little survivor with a heart full of love. He’s looking for a forever home where he can feel safe, cherished, and loved — could that be with you?
