Harry ~ Jack Russell, senior boy on trial 29/01/16

Hello, my name is Harry and I am a 13 year old wire coated Jack Russell Terrier. My foster carer says that I am a really handsome fellow with very little grooming requirements. She gives me a weekly brush to keep me looking great! I am in good health and looking forward to meeting my new family.

Older children are no issue for me as I really enjoy a game of tug and I can chase a ball and bring it back in a flash. I presently live with four other dogs, some smaller than me and one bigger. I get on quite well with them all. I also reside with a couple of hens and some rabbits but I hardly notice them at all.

My foster carer has a nice bed for me so that I can feel comfortable inside regardless of the weather. There is a doggy door which I use it for those calls of nature. Although I am an inside dog, I don’t mind spending some time outside when the weather is good, in fact I have three days a week outside and I never bark or make a fuss.

I enjoy my walks and the experiences in the outside world. I walk very nicely on my lead and the sounds of traffic and other dogs are of no concern. Even the fireworks and storms don’t trouble me. I am not a fussy eater but if I could be indulged with an occasional bone I would be ever so happy!

I come when I am called and will sit when asked. If you pat me, I will lower myself down into a bowing position and wiggle my stumpy tail.

My foster carer has spent three months with me and knows me quite well now. She thinks that I would appeal to a variety of homes. I am happy to lounge around all day or play, I would make a great companion for someone who likes to go for gentle walks or for children who would play with me and be respectful of my age.

If you think that we suit one others lifestyle then you can contact my foster carer, I am so excited about meeting you!
