AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION! Becca is an adorable Jack Russell Terrier mix looking for her forever home where she will be cared for and loved unconditionally. Her prior caretaker battles drug addiction and poor Becca lived in that environment until recently when she was brought to a shelter. Despite these experiences, Becca is happy-go-lucky and absolutely adores people.
She's about 1-2 years old and 20 lb and bursting with personality. True to her breed, she has lots of energy and would love a fetch partner and space to stretch her legs each day. Becca does have luxating patellas and takes a daily joint supplement. She is not in any pain and, at her size, the vet does not recommend surgery. This should be monitored at her routine vet visits.
Becca is crate trained and house trained and happily sleeps through the night. She enjoys a good snuggle and is an excellent lap warmer. She can be nervous and feel overwhelmed around new dogs, but she warms up with slow intros. She hasn't shown interest in the two cats in her foster home, but care should always be taken when introducing furry friends. Becca loves her people and would be perfectly happy being your one and only, too. She's so ready to find her happily ever after!
If you're interested in meeting Becca to see if she's the one for you, email
