Jack Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption

Meet Chicken&Waffles and the Breakfast Litter! They came to us on February 23rd from another rescue that transported them from a rural shelter where an Amish breeder had surrendered them because they were mixed breed. Apparently, some other dog mated with their Jack Russell female. We were told that they were born on Dec 11th; however, we feel like these puppies are much younger. They have not started losing their baby teeth yet. Our guess is that they are more like 10 weeks old now, making their date of birth closer to Jan 1st. There are 4 boys and one girl in the litter, making them the opposite of our Valentine's Litter!

Chicken&Waffles is the only female in the litter and is being fostered with her brother Bacon. They were the smallest two in the litter but she is learning so much from the other dogs in the home. She goes on a potty pad a the foster home and will follow the bigger dogs out the doggie door to go potty outside at times. She will a lot more work on potty training outdoors and walking on a leash. She loves to be held and carried everywhere and enjoys curling up with the 6-month-old baby in the foster home for snuggle times! She will be getting spayed on April 16th.

At this time, we are looking for adopters who can continue their potty and obedience training. There are special requirements for the adoption of puppies at this age as follows:

**Must be able to potty them every few hours. They need an adult with them 24 hours a day. Stay at home, work from home, or rotating partner schedules will work. Puppies need to go potty every few hours at this age. That means in the middle of the night no matter the weather, they are going outside!

Your pets must be up to date on vaccines; no doggie daycare. These puppies are very susceptible to disease at this age, as they are not fully vaccinated until 16 weeks of age. We cannot risk anyone bringing home a disease from daycare/grooming/boarding.

Must be able to bring them to our office every few weeks for medical care. They need several rounds of vaccines as well as sterilization in April.

Must live in the Columbus area and meet all other adoption requirements.

Please send an inquiry today if you are interested in adoption.
