Jack Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Velvet is an approx. 1-year-old, 26-lb Jack Russell Terrier mix with a soft soul and an even softer coat. She’s housebroken, crate-trained, and settles quickly — she may give a couple of brief yips at first, then relaxes like a pro.

This girl is a classic Velcro pup. She likes to stick close to her foster, whether that means supervising from the kitchen floor or making sure you’re still in sight while she explores the yard. If you go inside? She’s coming too.

Velvet is great with groups of people (she was the star of happy hour recently), though she can take a little time to warm up to men — once she does, she’s all in. She’s very treat-motivated, which makes bonding and training easy.

A few things that make Velvet extra special:
-She has two heart-shaped markings in her coat
-Low-shedding (seriously — her hair is incredibly soft and barely sheds!)
-She has a small “hitch in her giddy-up” from an old fracture but it doesn't cause her any pain and she gets around just fine!

Velvet is in treatment for heartworms but expected to recover without issues.
Velvet is affectionate, observant, loyal, and happiest when she knows her person is nearby. If you’re looking for a loving little shadow with a big heart, Velvet might just be your girl. Apply at redbarnrescue.com to meet her!
