Max - 4yo Jack Russell Cross

Hi, I’m Max, a 4yo Jack Russell Cross.
I was pretty neglected prior to coming into foster care. I was originally brought up as an inside dog, but then my owner’s situation changed and they kept me outside all of the time and forgot about me for a while.

I am pretty small and submissive sort of guy so I’m not really suited to being outside all of the time and just while we are on the subject of dislikes, I am not a big fan of the crate my foster mum needs me to sleep in either so I’m looking for a new home where I can be a part of the family and be wherever you guys are. I LOVE to be patted and to be part of the household, I’m quite young and sprightly, I have been observed to be pretty patient around kids(but better for older children as I can snap food out of hands) and although I’m not reactive around other dogs, I definitely prefer humans and am mostly calm when I am at home, saving my energy for daily walks.

I know how to sit, I can walk on a lead and I learned how to use a dog door in record time! I’m smart but my confidence is shaken and I’m pretty confused with all of the changes I’ve had going on lately. I am toilet trained but I will need a patient home who won’t mind an accident or two in the house until I get my bearings straight and get all settled in. I also hate being left alone and I fret when I can’t see my special people, so I think it’s probably best for me to be in a home where at least one person is home most of the day. It will take some time, love and training for me to gain the confidence I need to feel safe but I am willing to put the work in if you are!

Tested ok with cats and ok with other dogs
