About Jackie’s Breed Mix:
Jack Russell Terriers are well known for their smarts, spirit, and athleticism. This breed is curious, confident, and always ready for fun. With consistent training and structure, Jack Russells thrive as loyal, highly entertaining companions. Their strong personality is paired with boundless affection—making them unforgettable members of any household. Jackie’s mix likely blends the Jack Russell’s enthusiasm with a gentle, snuggly side once she bonds with her humans.

Jackie’s Story & Personality:
Jackie is the definition of a wiggle worm—bouncy, curious, and eager to love. While she can be timid around new people, once she opens up, she’s all kisses and cuddles. Jackie is still learning the ropes of being a house dog, but she’s picking it up fast—her potty training and crate training are coming along with each day. She absolutely adores playing with other dogs and would love a home with friendly canine siblings who enjoy romping around the yard. Jackie isn’t quite ready for young kids due to her jumpy enthusiasm, but in the right home, her joy and love will shine. She needs a fenced yard to safely let out her Jack Russell energy, and some patience from her future family as she builds trust and confidence. She’s sweet, spunky, and full of potential.

Jackie’s Perfect Home:



A fenced yard for safe zoomies and exploration


A home with one or two similarly sized, playful dogs


An adopter with patience and a calm environment to help her build confidence


Older kids or adult-only home preferred due to her jumpy nature


A family that can provide structure, continued training, and gentle encouragement


Someone looking for a bright, loving companion who will thrive with time and care
