Jack Russell Terrier

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Leo is 7 years old. He was 1 of 2 in a litter. We initially adopted his brother from an acquaintance. Around 2 months old, the family that had Leo had a family emergency and asked us to watch him. 3 months later they returned and suggested we keep him since he bonded to us and our other dogs - including his litter brother. As they both aged, play-fighting got more and more aggressive. They are both neutered but no help. My wife spends a lot of time traveling for work and often takes the brother. When without the other, these dogs are great with other dogs. And always good with people. They both had formal training but that does not seem to help when they get worked up. At this point, I think Leo would be better off with the anxiety he feels around his brother. I am not in a rush to rehome him. Especially if it means finding Leo the best new family.

Story
Meet Stewart, aka Stewie! This scruffy little guy was spotted running as a stray before being picked up by animal control. Luckily, Stewie had an advocate at the shelter who reached out to rescue for help, and he’s been charming us ever since. Stewie is a social, funny, and affectionate boy, estimated to be 1–2 years old, about 17 lbs, and likely a wire-coat Jack Russell Terrier mix. His scruffy coat and signature “poodle-hawk” tuft make him completely irresistible. Stewie is currently fostered with a mom, dad, and two dogs. He’s become best buddies with one playful pup, and you’ll often find them snuggled together, while also respecting the other dog’s need for space. He does well as part of a pack and even spent Thanksgiving at his foster family’s beach house with eight adults and one of six dogs, where he fit right in and had a blast. He’d love a home with a young, playful canine companion and shares toys nicely. Stewie is a wonderful mix of goofy, clever, affectionate, and fun. He can be a little shy at first, but warms up quickly and becomes a total velcro dog, happily following his people from room to room once he’s comfortable. He has a medium energy level, is crate-trained, and nearly fully potty-trained. He just needs consistent breaks and supervision as he continues to perfect his routine. His foster mom practices structured crate nap times, and Stewie settles right in. At night, he sleeps in bed with the family and their dogs; during the day, he’s often found curled up napping in his foster mom’s home office. He’s great on leash, stays close, doesn’t pull much, and walks even more confidently with a dog buddy. This sweet, silly boy loves to play and enjoys his daily walks, but after some zoomies or exercise, he’s happy to relax on the couch or entertain himself with a toy. His foster mom describes him as an easy, awesome dog, snuggly without being pushy, never destructive, and trustworthy with free roam in the home with regular potty breaks. Stewart is ready for a family who will enjoy his spark and help him continue blossoming into the amazing dog he’s meant to be. Apply today!   BREED ESTIMATE: Jack Russell Terrier mix GENDER: Male APPROXIMATE WEIGHT:  17 lbs  APPROXIMATE AGE: ~  1-2 years old COAT TYPE: Scruffy, wiry coat needs regular grooming ADOPTION FEE: $425 OTHER INFO: utd on shots/neutered/microchipped LOCATION:  Herndon, VA   FOR MORE INFO OR TO ADOPT: Please go to https://adopt.worthydog.org and complete the application. You can also help save dogs like this one by becoming a foster, providing a rescue dog with a temporary home and giving them the love and care they need until they are permanently adopted. Every person who fosters is directly responsible for saving the life of a dog, because we can only save as many dogs as we have foster families available to welcome them into their homes. If you think you might be interested in becoming a foster and want to learn more, please go to https://foster.worthydog.org and fill out an application. Worthy Dog Rescue is an all-volunteer, foster-based rescue that primarily adopts to families in the DC Metro area. December 22, 2025, 6:44 pm

Story
Our Popeye may not have superhuman strength (like the cartoon character), but he sure has super canine cuteness! He is basically like a canine toddler, who finds everything you do fascinating, so he wants to be a part of it. He enjoys other dogs to play with, toys to chew on, walks, with you by his side, and any and all attention you offer him. He is a true lap dog and reserves the right to yours every evening. This puppy is crate trained and house trained already. Sleeps through the night. His happy place is by you on the couch or your bed. If you are interested in this most adorable bundle please let us know. Questions About this Animal?
