About Jack
Distance: 1,485 Miles
Breed: Rat Terrier X DOB: 2/24/2013 Gender: male Altered: yes Coat: medium Size: medium Color(s): black/white with tan on face Description:Hi, I'm Jack, a Rat Terrier X in need of a new home as I became territorial with the two other smaller female dogs in the home.I'm enthusiastic, affectionate and happy most of the time. I leap in the air at dinnertime and will sit until you say "okay" to eat. I will cuddle on the couch with you, nap with you and will sleep with you on the bed if you will allow it. I love scratches on the chest/under the chin/on top of my head. I'm house trained and will let you know when I need to go out. I am trainable and I will work for food!I might do well if you own a large cat. I live with two large cats and I don't mess with them. Small cats or other animals may look too much like prey.I am at heart a hunter. I love to patrol the perimeter of my yard and mark all around the edges. I have caught rats and wouldn't mind catching rabbits that I see (so far, no luck). I have faced off with coyotes on the other side of the fence, so I'm a bit of a scrapper. I haven't had much leash training and walking me on leash has been an issue when other dogs come near. I'm not the type of dog who should be let off leash. I'll need to be your one and only in the home.I need a safe yard to run in and a comfortable home with human contact indoors. I will wander off if a door is left open. I don't care for dog parks. It was too scary for me and I got very anxious.I would do best in an adult only home, but may do okay with older gentle children. I've been okay alone for 4 or 5 hours at a time. When I hear, "I'll be back." I just go to sleep until someone returns.I'd be a great companion for my special someone. If you're interested in meeting me, please fill out an online application to meet me.
