Story
Jimmy is a male white with tan/yellow rat terrier mixed breed. He is 6 years old and he weighs 24 pounds. Jimmy is neutered and vaccinated including rabies. Jimmy is heartworm negative and on monthly heartworm preventive. Jimmy is ready for adoption. Jimmy is such a good, sweet boy and he needs and deserves a home. Jimmy originally was adopted 5 years ago as a puppy. He was Jimmy Stewart from the Hollywood litter. Through major family changes he ended up in a home with two larger dogs which the family determined wasn’t a good fit for Jimmy, so he was returned to us. That was a year ago. Jimmy was happy as an only dog and is used to living in a family with adults and older children. He seems fine with other dogs, but he would probably be happier without them. He has been known to scold a hyper, noisy dog. The number of dogs around him now just stresses him out. Jimmy is affectionate with a person. He looks to them for reassurance. Despite stress he has never been the least aggressive with a human. If it’s thundering or something else is upsetting him, Jimmy’s biggest wish is to be held like a toddler on your hip. The vet clinic that knows him best says they have to carry him this way to the exam room bc he is nervous and doesn’t want to walk back there. We know Jimmy was taken care of and went to the same vet clinic yearly during his five years after adoption. Jimmy pulls a little on the leash but loves to go for a walk. He perks up tremendously when the leash comes out. He doesn’t love the kennel but he is fine when kenneled as long as his space is calm. Jimmy is house trained. Jimmy’s overall personality is a little reserved and shy, but once he trusts you he gives kisses and enjoys cuddles and a good scratch all over. Jimmy is a good size, right on the borderline of small and medium, so he fits inside the home easily without being underfoot all the time. Jimmy needs a person or a family that will give him a minute to acclimate to the new surroundings but will engage with him and talk to him as he learns to relax and feel safe. Jimmy does know his name. Adoption fee is $125.

Dottie is a female Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier. She is 3-5 years old and weighs 13 lbs. Dottie is spayed, vaccinated including rabies. She tested heartworm negative and is on monthly preventive.

Story
Eevee is a female tricolor Rat Terrier/Jack Russell Terrier. She is 2-4 years old and weighs 14 lbs. Eevee is spayed, vaccinated including rabies. She tested heartworm negative and is on monthly preventive. Eevee is ready for adoption. Eevee was owner surrendered to a NW Louisiana shelter along with 3 members of her canine family (Roscoe, Dottie and April) due to changes for the human family. They have obviously been loved and used to being pets inside the home. Eevee and her family get along with each other and other dogs. They are friendly and social with new people. Eevee wants to play fetch but she lets Dottie rule the game. She just runs along. She is the most affectionate of the group and thrives on petting and cuddling. Eevee has a little anxiety that seems to be related to a lot of unfamiliar activity in the rescue foster home and not enough face time with “her person.” She displays two behaviors we think will be less prevalent and more manageable in a normal home setting with only one or two other dogs and more people attention and affection. The two behaviors are nipping at your clothes (being overexcited by a person available), and pee accidents in her kennel. We’ve dealt with several previous dogs where these behaviors cease to be a problem once adopted and we think it will be the same for Eevee. Eevee is smart but also a bit stubborn. She has lots of love to give. She is also manageable on a leash. Eevee can be adopted separately or with one or more of her crew. She seems to like them all, maybe Dottie a tad more. Eevee would enjoy a fenced area and a canine buddy. She might do well as an only dog with someone who is home with her a lot. Adoption fee is $300.
