Jada came to us from the Southern Comfort Animal Rescue when it had a fire.  Jada is very playful but will go in her crate when she wants quiet time.

Foster Update: Jada is starting to settle in.  As of yet, she hasn't joined in on the bark patrol that often occurs in my home (two other terriers).  She has learned how to use the doggie doors and loves to go out and lay in the yard at random.  She loves the toys we have and is constantly chewing a bully stick, piggy roll, or deer antler.  Yesterday we had some alone time and she absolutely loved playing with the birdhouse puzzle I have.  It took a while for her to figure out how to get the birdies out but once she did she was enjoying the squeeking noises immensly.  She's picking up the Off command and the Leave It command faster than I expected.  Sit, not so much... but that's ok, we will get there... it's only day three after all.  Tic Tac, my JR, and her romp around a little but neither is still quite sure about the other.  She doesn't have any food agression towards us, but she doesn't like when the other dogs come near the crate when she's eating.  She doesn't seem to mind if they approach her when she is chewing a bone so that is good.  She is incredibly sweet and loves being petted.  I can't imagine she'll have a hard time finding a loving home.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Jack Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Jack Russell makes a good family companion. The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Friendly and generally kind to children who have been taught not to tease or strike the dog. They are intelligent, yet willful and determined. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised. Jack Russells climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. A Jack that stands 12 inches high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a inexperienced dog owner. This is a BIG dog in a little dogs body. The owner needs to be as strong-willed as they are, or this little guy will take over.
