OT: QI in need of loving patient home

All right all y'all QI lovers out there. My sister in Tucson has been taking care of a 2.5 yo Jack Russell terrier for the past three months.

Her owner is battling cancer and was unable to continue caring for her properly, so my sis stepped in and said she would. The owner will not be able to take this mostly sweet young lady back.

If you know of any one looking for a Jack Russell - pure bred, no papers - and understands the efforts that is required in owning a Jack Russell, drop me an email for more information.

Thank you, Jenn in CA - I'd take her, but DH said no more dogs (we have two) and this young lady loves to chase cats (I have four)

I cannot say enough good things about my experiences working with breed rescue, and in particular the Jack Russell Terrier folks.

Please pass that link along to your sister. Urge her to get in touch with the local group. They'll take the dog off her hands and put her in a foster home with folks who know and love Jack Russell Terriers, as well as do everything in their power to find a good forever home with someone who knows and loves the breed. JRTs can be a very difficult dog to care for as they are happy hyper dogs.

I dearly loved the one we cared for- however, he did not get on with our cats or our dog. He does have a very happy home now though.

We got a Jack Russell several years ago, a puppy. without checking out the breed. I"m not sure we would have chosen a Jack Russell if we knew what a live wire they are, and that would have been sad. He is so much fun. We got a trainer to help us, and he does most of the good dog things, sit, stay, is perfectly house trained, we can leave him now with access to the whole house while we leave,. no messes or chewed up things , he just sleeps. He takes a short walk every day, and has two or three tug of war or find the toy times and a little fetching. He knows lots of wonderful tricks, like getting my husbands hat, and the leash for the walk, gets treats for bringing dirty sox, or other things on the floor that might have been fun to chew up. and he makes us laugh everyday. My son says that is certainly a valuable and rare ability. He loves all people, especially children, and we haven't found any way to squelch or control his jumping,kissing, out of control welcoming any one who comes to our place. He loves the mailman, has jumped into the truck to go with him, He is a wonderful hand full! Kay

DH and I wonder all the time what we did for entertainment before we got ours. 3 months after we got Maggie, some friends who got one about the same time decided they couldn't handle it, so we ended up with 2! And you might think I'm crazy but I don't think I'd have just one again. They play with each other and have such different personalities. They are the most comical dogs we've ever owned. And we have had dogs all of our 33 years together.

Not for the sedentary, that's for sure.
