Zinnia - Jack Russell Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Elmwood Park, Wisconsin

Zinnia is such a tiny thing but makes up for it in confidence and assertiveness! She is such a playful and busy little girl, checking everything out, exploring wherever she is, and taking on any toy, regardless of if it is twice her size.

Zinnia loves to play with her foster siblings, all at least 6-11 lbs bigger than her! Their size doesn't intimidate her in the least. She starts the play most times and lets them know who is boss. She can sound like a vicious gremlin while playing with the big ones. She likes to rough house more than them even.

She loves to run around in the yard, and it is truly amazing that those tiny legs can move as fast and as far as hers do. She will do several laps around our 27' diameter above ground pool and still have energy to play some more. When she is ready to nap, she will crawl in the round soft pillow 1 or all 3 siblings or come to you with sweet little whines to be picked up and then will crash hard on your lap or chest.

Zinnia settles great in her rate all night and excited to see us in the morning. She is working on potty training but does do business every time outside. In the meantime, she is good about using the pads in the house.

Zinnia is currently just over 5lbs. Mom is only 15 lbs. so we expect her to remain small. (Mom looks to be a jack russell terrier mix, and Zinnia's features resemble possibly pug & chihuahua.
