Truffle's Story

About Truffles<br/>Happy go lucky 13 month old bouncy boy pup who loves everyone and everything, wagging his tail so hard his little body gyrates. Very affectionate, slightly skiddish but warms up quickly. Certainly eats like he'll never get any more food! And there's always food lol Has a really bouncy pup personality that is infectious.<br/>Learning new things like having his belly rubbed, toys (likes to hoard toys in his bed), treats, eating from a bowl, adjusting to Canadian weather (he's a Barbados boy so this winter stuff is altogether new but it's looking like spring soon!) Did I mention he likes treats?<br/> House trained. Learning behaviours "sit" (his butt wiggles when he's sitting) , "stay", "wait". "down". Walks well on a leash but does tug a bit. Likes treats. Neutered, shots are UTD. Good with dogs large and small, indifferent to cats, kids (+ ages): . Good with strangers. DId I mention he loves treats?<br/>And now a word from "Truffles"<br/>First of all I'd really like someone to change my name to something other than "Truffles". I'm a boy dog!. I want a boy dog name! Chuck, Spot, Spike...anything but Truffles! lol. I am used to sunshine 23.5hrs a day. And here I am in Celsius weather?. What the heck?!? Mom puts a coat on me so that I don't shake when I go out. That's a whole other experience let me tell you!. I'm very excited to be getting a new mom and or dad because I have lots of love to give and I need a lap to crawl into.I love my walks at least twice a day. And I love treats (Did I mention that?)<br/>Hope to meet you soon. <br/>Truffle is being lovingly fostered In Quinte West<br/><br/>If you are interested in adopting Truffle, please complete an application on our website:<br/>https://www.jrnc.org/adoption-application

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
