Penelope's Story

Penelope (Penny) is an approximately 5 year old broken-coated white and tan female Jack Russell terrier. She is spayed and current on vaccinations plus has a paid up health insurance plan for the rest of 2026. She weighs 25 pounds.<br/>Penny was picked up as a stray, so we do not know her back story. She seems to be impeccably house trained, but shows signs of nervousness when riding in the car or getting walked beyond the boundaries of her foster home. She also does evince some minor resource-guarding of space/furniture and objects typical of terriers.<br/>Penny has only been in foster care for about 3 weeks, so the inner dog girl has not yet come to the fore. She has been friendly with everyone she meets (human) and largely ignored other dogs. She does NOT enjoy loud noises - either real or electronic.<br/>We are looking for a committed lifetime terrier-experienced home for Penny. Penny is located in northern California, but transport can be arranged. Penny's adoption fee is $200.

Jack Russell Rescue Oregon Washington & Idaho's Adoption Policy
We require an approved application before setting up a meet with any of our dogs. In most cases, secure fencing is a must - exceptions may be made for certain "Velcro" dogs and isolated rural properties, or for urban adopters who run daily. Except for certain dogs, no kids under the age of 6 is our rule of thumb, but it depends again on the dog and on the kids. We have a 2 to 3 week trial adoption period for all our dogs - we want everyone to be happy - and we back our dogs up for their lifetimes. Thank you for thinking of a rescue Jack!
