Story
Bogart is a sweet, charming 3-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix weighing about 27 pounds. He’s the perfect medium size—big enough for adventure, small enough for cozy cuddles. Bogart gets along well with other dogs and enjoys hanging out with kids too. He’s still learning his leash manners and would benefit from some patient practice, but he’s eager to please and ready to learn. One of his favorite things? Car rides! Bogart loves hopping in the car and heading out for an adventure, whether it’s a trip to the park or just cruising around. With his loving personality and happy spirit, Bogart would make a wonderful companion for someone ready to help him continue growing and enjoying life. Could Bogart be your new best friend? Bogart's adoption fee is $350 and includes his neuter, microchip and current vaccinations.
