Puka

Puka – Smart, Social, and Ready for Her Forever Home 🐾 <br/><br/>Location: Medicine Hat // Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix // Sex: Spayed Female // Age: Approx 1 year// Weight: 22lbs // Dogs: Yes, she loves dogs! // Cats: Only tested quickly but did great // Kids: Tested with dog savvy kids 6-12 and did well // Energy Level: Moderate – thrives with daily activity and mental stimulation // <br/><br/>🐾Biography: Puka is a bright, affectionate, and eager-to-learn Jack Russell mix who is ready to find an active and engaged home. While she enjoys relaxing with her foster family and they describe her as "chill", Puka is an intelligent breed mix who does best with regular exercise, playtime, and mental stimulation. She loves the outdoors—especially snow—and her favorite activity is playing fetch. She happily returns the ball and is motivated to learn new skills. Puka walks well on leash, greeting people with polite curiosity, and she enjoys the company of other dogs. She has done well with children aged 6–12 and is comfortable with both men and women. She has met a cat briefly and showed no inappropriate behavior after the initial greeting. <br/><br/>🐾Home Life & Training: Puka is crate trained, sleeping quietly through the night and settling well when left for short periods. She is doing very well with her house training with proactive routines in place. She travels calmly in the car and adapts quickly to new routines, demonstrating her intelligence and willingness to learn. She is currently working on foundational training such as recall, “leave it,” and gaining additional life experience. <br/><br/>🐾Ideal Home: Puka would do best in a home that can meet her physical and mental stimulation needs - walks, play sessions, enrichment, and positive reinforcement training. An active individual, couple, or family with dog-savvy children would be a great fit. She would enjoy living with another friendly, playful dog but would also do well as an only dog if her people are home often. <br/><br/>🐾Summary: Puka is an affectionate, intelligent, and well-mannered young dog with a wonderful foundation. With continued enrichment and structure, she will thrive as a loving companion. She is ready for a home that will appreciate her mix of sweetness, smarts, and playful enthusiasm.
