Jack ~ Jack Russell (On Trial 7/2/17)

Hi, my name’s Jack and I’m a 2-and-a-half-year-old Jack Russell. I came to my foster carer’s four weeks ago and since then have made myself quite at home. I was an only dog at my old home but I have made a friend at my foster home called Billy. We have lots of fun playing together but I would be just as happy being the only pet in the family too. I love a rub on the tummy and sitting next to anyone that will have me on the lounge while they are watching TV.

True to the nature of my breed I am energetic, athletic, intelligent and fearless. I sleep outside during the night and enjoy being inside with the company of people during the day, however, I don’t mind being alone or spending some time outside. I enjoy trying to catch flies, I’m extremely curious and like to explore my surroundings.

I have proven to be a very good watch dog but if my new home is in a quiet street I doubt there will be much to bark at. My foster family don’t have any cats but I don’t think I would like them very much. I like humans of all sizes and would be suitable around children.

I love all sorts of food whether it is dry dog food or fresh pet mince with vegetables – I am easy to please but don’t give me too much because I don’t seem to know when to stop!

I really enjoy going for a walk and walk well on a lead. I am obedient and come when called but if you don’t keep an eye on me I will go exploring. I have tried to learn tricks but I just get a bit too excited when there is food around and end up just about jumping out of my skin. I am pretty clever though so anyone that wants to persevere will be rewarded.

I am a very friendly little guy and just love being around people. I am really excited to find my furever home soon so that I can get settled in and start loving my family. I have so much love to give and will be a very loyal companion to anyone.
