Jack Russell Terrier Dogs Available for Adoption in Greenbelt, Maryland

Pollywog is an adult dog who still loves to run and play! At just 20 lbs. she is a perfect size for any home and lifestyle. Pollywog is mostly very good on walks, sometimes she wil cross in front of her walker and if she sees another dog nearby, she may pull and whine or bark to get his attention.

Pollywog loves to play with both humans (She will jump excitedly on anyone in the room with her) and dogs, at times jumping and play biting, but she will eventually calm down with cues (i.e., “settle down” and physical help or distraction.) She loves her chew toys and soft treats (not too fond of the crunchy ones).

Pollywog is working on "sit" and "down" commands. Her appetite is good. She sometimes finishes a meal fairly quickly, but often grazes over a few hours, and she often will poop within an hour of eating and may still need some cues/training to make her business in the yard.

While Pollywog sheds, she loves to be brushed, and she loves attention like pets ans snuggles. She is good in the car and she is good in her crate and will sleep quietly there at night.

Pollywog is still new to PAW and we will update her profile as we learn more about this sweet and adorable girl!

PAW adopts in the MD, northern VA, DC, and northern PA region.
