Story
CURRENTLY FOSTERED IN TEXAS Hartley is apx 5 years young and weighs 13.5 pounds. He is a funny kid. We are assuming Jack Russell terrier mixed with Chihuahua but he takes up 85% JRT traits and 15 % chihuahua. He is very stubborn, honorary at times, and has selective hearing. He also loves to play a good game of chase when you are trying to get him inside . He does not show a huge prey drive here but he is a confident dog and very alert. Some training would do him very well. All this to be said, he is also very loving and affectionate. He is not a huge fan of someone grabbing his head /face or neck area in a quick manner. Judging by his scars on his body and his appearance when he came in and how he acted at the shelter, I am guessing that Hartley has had a very crappy life before coming to us and has possibly been abused. It is also a little hard to tell what days he is going to decide to be a Jack Russell and what days he is going to decide to be a lazy Chihuahua. Sometimes he is the most laid-back dude you have ever met. He is observant and quiet and just kind of sits around and does nothing and then other days he is on green light lol he LOVES toys and butt scratches. I would not put him with young children under the age of 10 just because of the face aversion (he has never bitten or growled) . I also do not think he would do well with very dominant dogs that test him, he has a little stubborn streak and I am not sure would back down easily. He certainly sets the tone in the play yard with the boys that he is the boss man, but he can also be very gentle and loving and has been with other dogs both at the shelter and with us here. He is not bad with dogs, I just dont think he will back down if another dog bows up on him. he was found as a stray and was probably on the streets for all of his life . He really enjoys being inside, having a bed, toys, attention and blankets, but I think he is still learning how to be a “pet “ and not a stray. He just needs a little extra TLC, someone that is dog savvy, someone that has patience and a lot of love to give and is willing to put some training into him as I think that would greatly benefit him . He needs a leader. If you baby him he walk all over you, he is very smart and he knows the “mom voice” haha . He is a good boy, deserving of a loving family. He just needs an owner committed to him and that is familiar with his breed and won’t let him down. Approved adopters please send your hold requests to the email you were given.
