Meet Bacardi, the dapper 6 year old male Jack Russell mix seeking his forever home. This 12.2 pound pup is a shy but sweet little pooch ready to start a new adventure in life! Bacardi is very affectionate and loves his humans deeply once he forms a bond with them. He is a huge lover of belly rubs and will roll right over for you once he feels comfortable! Bacardi also has a playful spunkiness to him and enjoys romping around the yard, as well as searching for new scents. He is very well behaved and is what most would call a "distinguished gentleman." Just a pup full of love and silly antics! Bacardi would thrive in a loving home with a gentle family who will provide him with lots of exercise and attention. Barcardi is Heartworm positive, so he is currently available as Foster to Adopt while he undergoes his treatment.
