🐾 MEET JAGO
Jago is a handsome little Jack Russell Terrier puppy with a lovely tan and white coat and all the charm, curiosity and personality that make this breed so popular.
He's a bright, engaging little fellow who is thoroughly enjoying discovering the world around him and has had a wonderful start in life.
🏡 WELL SOCIALISED
Jago has been well socialised from an early age and is comfortable with dogs beyond his littermates. He has also been exposed to children and cats, giving him an excellent foundation for life as a much-loved family companion.
Of course, continued socialisation and positive experiences will be important as he grows.
🧠 CLEVER & FULL OF CHARACTER
Jack Russells may be small, but they are intelligent, energetic little dogs with plenty of personality.
They generally love being involved in family activities and thrive on a combination of exercise, play, training and mental stimulation.
Jago will need a family who appreciates the lively, inquisitive nature of a terrier and is happy to keep both his mind and body busy.
🏡 JAGO'S IDEAL HOME
Jago will be happiest in a home where he is genuinely part of family life, with plenty of companionship and opportunities to play, explore and learn.
He will need:
• Secure fencing
• Plenty of companionship and affection
• Regular exercise and play
• Positive, consistent training
• Mental stimulation and enrichment
Like all puppies, Jago will need patience, guidance and continued socialisation as he matures.
✂️ DEFERRED DESEXING PROGRAM
Jago will be adopted under ARK's Deferred Desexing Program. His adoption fee includes the cost of desexing, subject to the terms and conditions of the program.
His successful adopter will be required to sign ARK's Deferred Desexing Agreement, ensure that he is not permitted to breed, and have him desexed within the required timeframe in accordance with that agreement.
