PACO UPDATE! Paco has been pulled by a friend of JRRCA and we will now be working on sending him on his way to Washington.
It's no secret that shelters are being inundated with animals being surrendered or abandoned. Well behaved young animals aren't being adopted let alone dogs like Paco (see Paco's story below). Paco has until this Friday, March 21st to either be adopted or placed in a rescue. Paco isn't yet 2 years old.
JJack Russell Rescue CA can only take Paco with a committed foster. He’ll need a special foster home where he’s the only animal and can have some alone time. Paco shows signs of fear and anxiety, so he’ll need extra care and understanding. Having special needs doesn’t mean he doesn’t deserve a loving home. It just means he might need a quiet, comfortable place to retreat and feel safe, like a crate, bed, or corner of the room.
You’ll need to identify and try to reduce or eliminate any potential triggers, like loud noises, unfamiliar people, or stressful situations. He might also need behavioral medication.
Paco's story.
Paco was originally adopted from the shelter several months ago. Recently, his family had a baby and after that Paco started having extreme separation anxiety (according to owner) and was not doing well with the baby in the home. They surrendered him back to the shelter.
At such time they noted that Paco does not get along with other dogs and is toy possessive. He was adopted shortly after he was returned. However, once again brought back because the new owner tried to take a toy from him and Paco bit (minor bite). Besides these two noted behavior concerns, Paco is friendly and social with people. He loves to play ball and chase toys. Due his behavior concerns however, we are struggling to find him an adopter who can handle his special needs and with shelter overcrowding.
