Buddy - Jack Russell Terrier Dog for Adoption in Plainfield, Illinois

Hey! Buddy here, I'm a handsome 25 lbs. young adult pup and a good boy looking for my forever family. Can you help? I'm a social butterfly! I love people and other pups. I'm potty trained and sleep quietly in my crate during the night. I'm also doing well with walking on a leash and going for car rides. I love spending time with my foster family and dog friends.
I enjoy playing with toys/bone in my fosters fenced-in yard. I also like lounging in the grass and watching the birds flying around. It's fun to run around the yard with a dog pal too! In the evening, I enjoy curling up on my foster Moms lap - she says I'm her weighted blanket!
I do have early arthritis in my front leg; however, that doesn't stop me from enjoying life. My forever family should help me keep a healthy weight (25 lbs.), on a joint supplement, follow veterinarian's recommendations, and balance activity with rest to help me stay comfortable and happy.
Dog Olympics may not be in my future, but I'm absolutely going for gold in cuddling, making you laugh, and being on/next to you on the couch. If you're looking for a pint-sized comedian with a huge heart, I'm ready to be your favorite sidekick.
Buddy is dog/cat friendly. He would do best in a household with older respectful kids, if any and a secure fenced-in yard. Buddy is a possible Jack Russell Terrier mix and about 1-1/2 years old.
