Jack Russell Terrier and Shetland Sheepdog Sheltie Dogs Available for Adoption in Brooksville, Florida

If you're looking for a high-energy, feisty, confident, playful, take charge leader of a dog, 10 pound, 12 week old puppy, then Cricket is the fella for you! Cricket appears to be a long haired Jack Russell Terrier who loves chasing anything that moves. He is one of 5 dogs surrendered to our rescue by an owner who had to enter a nursing home. He is great with the volunteers at the rescue, but is cautious and nervous when first meeting new folks. Because of Cricket's over-exciement, sometimes snappy nature, he is currently not safe with small young children. Cricket's adoption fee is $250. His neutered, chip, vaccination appointment is May 21, but we are now accepting applications to adopt. Applications to adopt are at kathisk9s.org Meet greets are scheduled only for approved applicants
