Jackie

Hi, I am Jackie, an 8 year old Terrier mix. I have grown up as an outside dog, with a bunch of my brothers, sisters, kids, nieces and nephews in a dog run out on a property. Due to this, I have adopted a ‘pack’ mentality and as I am used to having to squabble for food, I think I would be most comfortable as the only pet in your home. I looooove being inside and I’d be very happy being your lap dog, sitting next to you on the couch being patted all day.

I know how to sit, I know my name and how to use the dog door but I am new to walking on a lead. I don’t bark much and don’t mind being left alone when the house is empty but if you’re inside I want to be inside with you! My foster carer has been working on toilet training with me and has had me sleeping in a crate at night where I am very happy to sleep right through until breakfast time.

Around humans, I have a very happy personality, I am very docile and submissive towards people and as long as I’m comfy, I’m pretty chilled out and don’t play much or chew anything. I have been good with my foster carers’ nieces and nephew when they came to visit. As I am mostly dominant around other dogs, I can get jealous and snippy if another dog is near my food and also get pretty upset when I think another dog is stealing all of my pats! I think a home with a patient owner who has no other pets and is home much of the time would be best. I need someone who is prepared to toilet and lead train me so I can be the goodest girl I can be. I am a very affectionate, loving pet who is eager to please and I’m just looking to be the top dog in the right forever home!
