*Jost Van Dyke Vacation

Meet Jost Van Dyke (but you can call him Van!)<br/><br/>Breed: Terrier Mix (Likely Dachshund/Rat Terrier / Jack Russell blend)<br/><br/>Age: 10 years young Weight: 18 lbs<br/><br/>Hello there! My full name is Jost Van Dyke, but my foster family just calls me Van. I am a handsome, 10-year-old terrier mix weighing in at a perfectly portable 18 pounds.<br/><br/>If you look into my very sweet eyes, you'll instantly see what a gentle soul I am. I am a total social butterfly who gets along wonderfully with absolutely everyone I meet—humans and other dogs included!<br/><br/>I pride myself on being a very good boy. I already know exactly how to use a doggy door, and I am mostly potty-trained (though I might have a rare accident indoors while I'm adjusting to a new home's routine). I walk wonderfully on a leash and make a great strolling companion. I do get a little nervous during car rides, but with some gentle reassurance from you, I can brave the road.<br/><br/>At my core, I am a professional lap dog and a world-class snuggler. My absolute favorite time of day is bedtime, because I love nothing more than burrowing right under the covers to sleep next to my favorite humans all night long.<br/><br/>I should also mention that I am very food-motivated! This is great for training, but because I love my meals so much, I can sometimes challenge other animals for food. For that reason, I sometimes need to be fed separately from any other furry siblings in the home so everyone stays happy and relaxed.<br/><br/>If you're looking for a loyal, affectionate, and snuggly gentleman to keep your lap warm, I’m your guy. I have a whole lot of love left to give—could it be to you?<br/><br/>www.beourpet.org/adoptions.php<br/><br/>#shelterpetlove<br/>#adoptdontshop<br/>#Vanisyourman<br/><br/>GENERAL INFO:<br/>Housebroken?: Yes, we think so<br/>Crate Trained?: Yes<br/>Leash Trained?: Yes<br/>Rides Well in Car?: Yes<br/>Non-Shedding?: No<br/>Good with cats?: Unknown<br/>Good with dogs?: Yes<br/>Qualifies for Seniors for Seniors?: yes<br/>Umbrella of Hope does not have any strict rules on ages of children because all children are different, but our best approximation is that this animal would do best with children over the age of 5<br/>Umbrella of Hope is an all-volunteer, donation-run, non-profit animal rescue based out of Pittsburg, CA that rescues animals from local shelters, places them in private foster homes, provides them with needed medical care and then finds them new homes.<br/>Also, ask us about our seniors for seniors program, where we adopt animals 5 years or older to qualified homes with a $5 donation as an adoption fee.
