Levi came to us from a local kill shelter with some skin irratation. He has since been on tight flea control and had an allergy shot and now has a beautiful coat. He gets along with cats and dogs very well! He is so sweet and loving.

Foster Update:  Levi is a cutie pie!  He loves people and gets along with dogs and cats.  He loves to eat and eats twice a day, good dry food with a little wet mixed in.  I have seen no aggression whatsoever and he has had no accidents in the house.  He's still pretty spunky - loves to chase the lizards and the water from the garden hose.  He walks pretty easy on the leash, but is curious about everything along the way. He's a cute, alert doggie and is a wonderful pet.

Foster Update:  Levi is doing great.  He's a happy little dog and loves to get out in the yard and chase anything that moves.  He doesn't however, bother the cats, he knows them and pretty much leaves them alone.  He comes when called unless he's chasing - then he pretends not to hear.  He can jump 4 feet high after the water hose.All in all he's a fun dog - loves everybody, will kiss everybody.  He's cute as can be and will make an excellent pet.

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.
