Puppy Jonah (On Trial 13/2/14)

Jonah is an adorable, 10 week old, male, Miniature Fox Terrier x Jack Russell puppy. He is a fun loving boy who enjoys playing with toys and running around exploring his world. Like all puppies, he needs a lot of attention from his humans. Being so young he does sleep quite a lot, however when he is awake he loves to run and play and get lots of cuddles and pats.

Jonah is too young to be fully house trained yet but we have started the process and are teaching him to use puppy pee mats. He is very good of a night and sleeps all night without needing to go outside.

Jonah is an inside dog and needs to be allowed inside even when he grows up, and must always be allowed to sleep inside. While he is a young puppy he needs someone to be home most of the time to take him outside for toilet breaks and to have a run around the yard, which he loves to do. He is too young to be home alone for long hours. An adult dog to teach Jonah dog manners and keep him company would be a big plus if you work full time.

Being a young pup Jonah still has his baby teeth which are very sharp, and puppies love to chew things including fingers and toes. So this needs to be taken into consideration before deciding to adopt a puppy, especially if you have very small children.

We always recommend puppy-training classes to give your new family member the best start in life. All dogs and puppies need plenty of affection, exercise, and training.

If you would like to find out more about this special little man please phone foster carer Debbie on 0408 825 714. Jonah is in foster care in Maitland, NSW (west of Newcastle).
