Lucy's Story

Lucy is a sweet, 14-pound, fun-loving Jack Russell Terrier from Barbados who is ready to find her forever family! At approximately 7 years old, Lucy has the perfect mix of playful JRT energy and a surprisingly laid-back side. She’s happiest when she can spend time with her people, explore her surroundings and, of course, chase the occasional squirrel, bird or fly!<br/><br/>Lucy is a medium-to-high energy girl who loves having something to do. She has a strong prey drive and will eagerly chase squirrels and birds outside. Inside the house, however, she has discovered one of her greatest talents: fly hunting! She absolutely LOVES chasing flies and proudly catching them whenever she gets the chance. <br/><br/>Despite her adventurous side, Lucy is wonderfully well behaved in the home. She is completely house trained and perfectly crate trained, although she has proven trustworthy enough to be left loose in the house when her people are away. She waits quietly for them to return and is more than happy to spend the day snoozing while everyone is out.<br/><br/>Lucy is not a big barker and is generally a quiet girl. <br/><br/>Lucy is fantastic with other dogs and would love to have a canine companion in her future forever home. She is also good with cats and generally pays little attention to them. Her compatibility with children has not been fully tested, but she is expected to do well with older, respectful, dog-savvy kids.<br/><br/>As Lucy settles into life in a new environment, she may need some patience and time to feel completely comfortable. <br/>She can be unsure around loud or unexpected noises, so a calm, reassuring home where she can settle in at her own pace would be ideal. <br/><br/>Car rides aren’t currently Lucy’s favourite thing, but she’s getting better with them — especially when she learns that the destination might be the dog park! <br/><br/>Lucy would love a home with:<br/><br/>- A loving family who will give her time to settle in and build confidence<br/>- A fenced yard or secure outdoor space where she can safely enjoy herself<br/>- A canine companion to keep her company<br/>* Plenty of opportunities for walks, play and mental stimulation<br/><br/>Lucy may be 7 years old, but she certainly hasn’t lost her zest for life. She’s playful, affectionate, independent when she needs to be and always ready to make you laugh!<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a sweet little companion with personality, energy and a serious talent for fly-catching, Lucy might just be your girl.

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
