Milo
Located in Stanwood, Washington
Neutered, vaccinated
1 yr 10 mos

Milo, a Jack Russell Terrier, has shown remarkable trust and love in just three weeks. He is well-behaved, enjoys playing fetch, and is learning basic commands. Milo is housebroken, good with other animals, and would thrive in a Jack-experienced home with a dog companion.
• Temperament: Milo is a people lover, confident, and not fearful.
• Behavior: Milo is playful, enjoys car rides, and is not destructive.
• Adaptability: Milo adapts well to new environments and can be left alone for long periods.
• Training Progress: Milo knows basic commands like “sit” and “come” and is learning “leave it”.
• Interaction with Animals: Milo is excited but not aggressive towards other animals and can be redirected with training.
• Relationship with Other Dogs: Milo is learning from and playing with the owner’s Jack Russell Terrier, and a dog with similar energy level or a calm older dog would be a good match.
• Temperament: Milo is a kind, smart, and easygoing dog who is eager to learn and build trust.
• House Training: Milo is well potty trained and has not had any accidents indoors.
• Grooming: Milo is easy to bathe and tolerates nail trimming well.

Easter, Kids & Dogs — A Paw-sitive Combo (With a Dash of Caution!

We find joy, giggles, egg hunts, and sweet treats during Easter— and if you’ve got kiddos and a waggy-tailed pup in the mix, it’s double the fun! But before the excitement begins, here are a few gentle reminders to keep things safe and happy for everyone involved:

1. Chocolate = No-No for Pups!
Those adorable foil-wrapped eggs are a treasure for kids, but they're dangerous for dogs. Keep them high and hidden — trust us, your pup’s nose is better than any treasure map.

2. Egg Hunts + Dogs = Supervised Fun!
If your dog’s joining the egg hunt, make sure all treats are dog-safe. Better yet, hide a few special pup-approved goodies just for them. Everyone deserves to sniff out something special!

3. Watch the Wrappers & Baskets
Plastic grass, ribbons, and little toy bits are fascinating to both kids and dogs — and not in a good way. Keep an eye out so nothing ends up where it shouldn’t (like your dog’s belly).

4. Kiddo + Canine Boundaries
Excited kids + excited pups can be a wild mix! Remind kids to be gentle and give your pup a quiet space to retreat to if things get too hoppin’.

Wishing you a tail-wagging, laughter-filled Easter with happy hearts and safe paws!

Hero (Fosters needed)
Ferndale, CA
Brownie and sibling (name unknown)

Age: Estimated to be 5 to 8

Notes from friend of the owner: These are a brother and sister, I’m pretty sure (and one of the older females is their mother).
The darker brown one is a male, Brownie, and the lighter brown one is a female and I have not been able to recall her name.
They are little tigers; they are great together but will gang up on the others.
I would guess they are somewhere around 5+ years old.

They are accustomed to being indoors with access to the outside, slept with owner and were loved! We don't know how tall or weight.

Should any additional information become available we will post it. We will cover vet visits, vaccinations and altering if needed.

Meet Loki! Loki is a 2 1/2 year old male who is looking for a new home. Loki is your typical 2 1/2 year old male- teenage years, pushing boundaries, wanting to be the big man on campus😀. Loki is pretty good with kids and with other dogs, has not been particularly aggressive when he see cats but does get excited, so no promises where cats are concerned. Loki is not yet neutered so he will need to be a foster or foster to adopt until he is neutered. He likely needs some training and an experienced JRT family.

If Loki seems like a good fit for you and your family, please fill out an application at https://jackrussellrescueca.org/foster-application/

Bo
Location: San Carlos, CA
Male
DOB 11-7-2019

Bo is available for fostering or adoption. He gets along well with other dogs, especially females. Due to an attack by a large dog when he was a puppy, Bo is initially cautious when meeting new dogs.

Bo is well-mannered and enjoys being indoors with access to a yard. He has experience hunting vermin and isn't afraid to use his voice! Unfortunately, his owner is no longer able to care for him due to the passing of one owner and the other's need to care for two others in their 90s, which requires a lot of travel. This has left Bo alone for extended periods.

If you're interested in offering Bo a loving home, please apply at https://jackrussellrescueca.org/adopt/. If you have additional questions please email [email protected] or complete an inquiry form online.

Darin has a euthanasia date of April 9th.

Meet Darin a gentle soul waiting for a second chance. Darin is 7-year-old Jack Russell mix with the cutest brown ears, a soft white coat, and the most soulful, beautiful eyes you ever seen. He may not ask for much, but what he truly needs right now is a safe, patient foster home to help him feel secure and loved. Darin is very shy and stoic-he's been through a lot and has learned to protect himself the only way he knows how: by keeping his distance. He's not comfortable being handled just yet, but we believe in our hearts that with the right environment and a little time, this week boy will begin to bloom.
You can see the longing in his eyes. I you can rescue him please call Contra Costa Animal Services in Martinez, CA 925-608-8400 and rescue groups email [email protected]. Thank you for caring about Darin life!

PUPDATE! Turns out? She ate something baaad (there are a lot of toxic things out there ) which caused vomiting and diarrhea. She was refusing water and food With an xray to rule out obstruction, she was given fluids for the hydration as well as an anti nausea shot and sent home with instructions to observe her At 1230am she was up and willing to eat some turkey baby food and this morning some chicken and rice Im happy to report she is on the road to recovery !!!

We don’t know what is going on with our sweet Giggles but she is at the ER. after being sick all night and she won’t eat or drink water. They’ll be doing bloodwork and X-rays first to try to find out what medical direction to go.
