Cooper's Story

Meet Cooper, a low to medium energy, 5-year-old, 20-pound Yorkie mix. He is lovingly fostered in Picton, ON.<br/><br/>His previous family recently moved overseas and, heartbreakingly, werent able to take him with them. Now this gentle little guy is looking for someone who will love him for the rest of his days.<br/><br/>Cooper is the kind of dog who quietly steals your heart. He loves being near his person and is happiest hanging out by your side, but he also has an admirable ability to settle himself and relax independently. He is housetrained and sleeps quietly through the night. He is not destructive at all, and is adjusting easily to his new routine. Cooper is crate trained. He does not need to be confined to a crate, but will wander in and out of it throughout the day if it is left open for him.<br/><br/>Although he doesnt demand much exercise, Cooper is a wonderful walking buddy. He is unfazed by bikes, strollers and people passing by. He generally walks right beside his person with a loose leash. A nice walk followed by plenty of naps sounds pretty perfect to him. <br/><br/>Cooper is currently sharing his foster home with other dogs and a cat. When meeting a new dog, he may bark a bit at first, but he settles quickly. He could happily be an only dog, but also seems to enjoy having a canine companion. He is calm and respectful around the resident cat.<br/><br/>Cooper can be a little hand-shy while he gets to know you, but it doesnt take him long to start to trust. One of his wonderful qualities is his ability to cope when something upsets him — rather than becoming overwhelmed, he can settle himself and move on.<br/><br/>And people? Cooper LOVES them. Hes already proving to be quite the little charmer, especially with the ladies! He would be very happy living in a suburban or small-town environment where he can enjoy walks, people-watching and plenty of time with his family. He is said to be good with kids. <br/><br/>He is generally not a noisy dog, but he does bark when someone comes to the door, so he may not be suitable for an apartment.<br/><br/>Cooper is proving to be an incredibly adaptable, affectionate and easygoing little companion.

Jack Russell Network Canada's Adoption Policy
Welcome! By adopting, you will effectively be saving 3 dogs' lives. Adopting a dog from JRNC means an open space for a new one at a JRNC foster home; and fostering a new dog means that there will be a new space available for a dog at an affiliate shelter. Although Jack Russell is in our name, many of the dogs JRNC rescues are small mixed breed dogs. The dogs JRNC rescue often come from puppy mill seizures or high-kill shelters that euthanize dogs who are not quickly adopted. Adoption Fees: Unfixed Puppy (3-6 months) $1100 w/ $350 refundable alteration fee Fixed Puppies (< 1 year): $850 Adult dogs (1-9 years): $500 Senior dogs (10+ years): $350 All dogs available for adoption are spayed/neutered if they have reached appropriate age and have all up-to-date vaccinations. If a puppy has not reached the appropriate age, the adopter must provide proof of spay/neuter to fully complete adoption. It is the mission of the Jack Russell Network Canada, Inc. ("Jack Russell Network Canada", "JRNC") to provide temporary shelter, veterinary medical care and other care for stray, abandoned, abused, injured, neglected and surrendered Jack Russell Terriers (JRTs, JRT crosses and similar terriers) in need of human assistance and care, for finding appropriate new homes for the dogs, and to promote the well-being of Jack Russell Terriers in general and to encourage the spaying and neutering, as well as the identification and registration of Jack Russell Terriers and of other domestic pets in general. a) Dogs may be adopted by persons over the age of 18 years, are resident in any Province of Canada, who have completed a satisfactory telephone interview, received positive veterinarian and reference checks and have had a home visit with a positive recommendation; b) Dogs may be adopted by individuals or families living in owner occupied homes including condominiums and rented homes including apartments subject to the approval of their landlord; c) Dogs may be adopted by families with children 4 years and older. Exceptions may be made where the adopter has children under the age of 4, has previously owned terriers, understands their temperament and is experienced in their handling and the terrier has been exposed to small children in the past; d) That, to the satisfaction of the dog’s foster and the Home Visitor, the Applicant has considered the commitment required to care for a dog for its entire life, which could exceed 15 years; e) That the Applicant has considered: i) That the financial commitment necessary to properly feed, house and provide adequate veterinary care for a pet can be expensive; ii) The possibilities of emergency veterinary costs arising and has a plan in place to deal with such situations and that they realise that, as dogs age, their veterinary care requirements may grow, and the costs may increase accordingly; f) Has a current veterinarian, a history with a veterinarian or have access that can be verified; g) That to the satisfaction of the Home Visitor, i) Everyone in the home is interested and excited about adopting rescue dogs including all children (if any); ii) Children (if any) must be present at the meet & greet and must be seen to interact with dogs in the home, i.e. pet the dog, give the dog treats. If the dog shows signs of being scared or of aggression during the interaction the family is probably not a good fit as a foster family. If the children are not present, a second meet & greet must be scheduled; iii. The Applicant can demonstrate that he/she is knowledgeable about terriers and understand their temperament and personality; iv. The Applicant has enough free time each day to devote to feeding, exercising and interacting with a dog; v. the Applicant has the patience necessary to train and rehabilitate a rescued dog and that they understand that the transition for these dogs into new homes can take time and that they may have to house train the dog; vi. the home environment is right for a terrier; h) that the Applicant is willing and able to keep JRNC updated on the dog’s progress by sharing pictures, videos and information via email or social media
