Mattie

Mattie is a very sweet young Jack Russell. Appears to be full blood short hair, short legged. She does fine with other dogs and has been around kids. Typically Jack Russells cannot be trusted around cats or any small rodent type pets. A Jack Russell Terrier can be a good family pet, but they require a lot of training and socialization to be suitable for families with children, particularly younger ones, due to their high energy levels, strong prey drive, and potential for nipping if not properly managed; they are generally best suited for families with older children who can understand how to interact with a dog appropriately and provide them with sufficient exercise and mental stimulation. Some of our dogs are adopted very quickly. If you are truly interested in a dog fill out an application ASAP. If you take the time to email a question someone will already be ahead of you with a completed application. You can find all the information we have about a particular cat/dog at the link below as well. Then click the adopt button to fill out an application. Fill out an application at the link below.

They must have an approved application before traveling to meet the dog. We do allow small dogs that are eligible to fly in the cabin of a plane. We DO NOT allow dogs to travel in the cargo area of the plane under any circumstances. Any dog that is adopted can of course go by personal vehicle. We do not allow dogs to be transported "pony express style" where they are passed from driver to driver.
