Hello,
My name is Sandy - I rescued Charlie when he was little. I had no idea how strong or energetic this boy would turn out to be.
He is part Jack Russell, rat terrier, and Aussie. He is up to date on all his shots. He is friendly and loving, just needs ways to exhaust his boundless energy.
I have had both knees replaced and when he jerks the leash to chase a bunny or squirrel - I almost get thrown to the ground.
I had him go to obedience classes, through Family Companion. He is super smart and learns quickly.
Charlie also loves being around other dogs. I feel this boy would do best in a home that has another dog, fenced in backyard, and a much more active home.
I love Charlie and only want what is best for him. It is not in my home.
