Fudge (On Trial 23/3/14)

G'day, I'm Fudge! Just because I am a small Jack Russell X don't be mistaken, I have a HUGE personality! I am 13 months old, young enough to play but old enough not to chew everything in sight. I love to play fetch, that is if you feel like it, but if you prefer, I will curl up on the lounge and watch some TV with you.

Being that I am a little dog I prefer to be inside most of the time but I will take myself outside to go to the toilet and go have a play. I also love to go out for walks on my lead.

I can answer the age old question "who's a good boy" I am!!! I don't run off when you open the door, and if by chance I slip my collar I will come straight back when you call me (but it's best to walk me on a harness). If someone knocks on the front door, I will let you know but I won't continue barking, I will sit by your side while you talk to whoever is at the door.

A bit about my history, when my human passed away I was sent to live with their next of kin. Unfortunately for me they already had 2 big old cats who didn't really like me too much and I was always outside. So the family decided I would go to DRN so they could find me an awesome home where I could be indoors where I belong.

Sometimes I get uncomfortable around bigger dogs and feel like I have to protect myself so I prefer not to get too close to them. I don't mind children but I don't like when they are noisy and I try to dominate the younger children. So I tell them to be nice and sometimes even try to round them up.

I have had some basic training but as I am still pretty young I would benefit from some more training. I have manners at dinner time and will wait patiently until you put my bowl down. I have no issues with food. I eat well with the other dogs here and even if my humans touch me or my bowl I don't mind.

My ideal home would be a home with older children 12+, or with no children. I would love being an only dog as I love to have lots of attention. If I was to have a canine pal I would prefer him or her to be my size or smaller. I would also like a home where I won't spend too much time on my own. I don't fret but I may get bored and will be missing you lots!

My humans say I am wonderful and love how I like to snuggle. They think it is super cute when I nuzzle their hand for some extra pats.
