We are looking to find a loving new home for our Border Jack Russell Terrier mix, estimated to be 8-10 years old. We rescued him about 5 years ago along with another dog, but unfortunately, the two do not get along and must be kept separated in our home and fenced yard. We feel this isn’t the best quality of life for him. With a 2-year-old child, plans to grow our family, and frequent travel, we’re unable to give him the attention and environment he deserves. He’s a gentle spirited dog who would thrive in a home where he can be the only pet and receive plenty of love and focus. We just want to ensure he goes to a caring, suitable home. If you are interested or have questions please reach out!
