Have you been on the hunt for a sweet and gentle companion that’s also on the smaller side? If so, we are pleased to introduce you to JETHRO! This adorable boy is a 2 year old Parson (Jack) Russell Terrier and weighs 25ish pounds.
JETHRO is good on leash, gentle taking treats, enjoys a toy or two to play with, and is very happy to just be hanging out with his people. When you first meet him he may appear a bit nervous or shy, but he will warm up quickly and he does enjoy affection once he is comfortable with you. He is a little apprehensive about fast movement, but when you go at his pace he is more relaxed and happy to receive nice pets. He is a well mannered pup who would love a person/family to occasionally throw a toy for him, take him on a nice, easy stroll where he can get his sniffs in and then just hang around the house with his family. JETHRO gets along with other dogs and the shelter can cat test for an on-site adopter if needed. We think he will be fine with children who understand how to be gentle and respect his space. He is up to date on shots, neutered, microchipped and Heartworm tested (-). If you would like to meet JETHRO, you can visit him at Augusta Animal Services, 4164 Mack Lane, Augusta GA during adoption hours Mondays 12-7, Tuesday-Saturday 12-4. JETHRO is really looking forward to meeting his new family soon!!
