My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

My name is Millie, but I also come to Silly Millie, Mildred and Millicent if my foster mama is teasing me. I don’t care as long as she is calling me for snuggles or hugs or maybe to eat I am happy. I am a super happy loving girl who gets so happy to see people and I will wiggle my tail so fast I have to make sure my legs don’t come off the ground. For a senior of 14 years I am still very spry!
I am a very easy going girl and love to eat my meals, usually just once a day and I like you to be close so you can see how well I do. I only have two tooffers left so I eat a mix of kibble and homemade food. I also like dried chicken strips and I get them cup up so I can gobble them down.
At bedtime I run into my crate and get snuggled in with all my blankets and have my treat and then sleep through the night. I am a quiet content girl and can be left for periods of time with no issues but when you come back I will wiggle and giggle and be so happy to see you again. I love to snuggle and share a chair with you and also I love to share breakfast if you have toast. I am a very easy going laid back girl.
I am living in a pack now and I wasn’t sure at first but it will be okay if I am an only dog or if there is another one. I am much better going into a pack so I should be a second not a first one.
I am not high energy and I am reactive to other dogs on walks but getting so much better. I am equally content to have a backyard to explore and I am content with a quiet lifestyle. I do have a high prey drive when it come to pesky creatures so none in the house please.
Honestly I am such a good well behaved girl and truly would like someone who is looking for a best friend who needs lots of cuddles and adoring glances sent their way. A dinner companion to stand by me and make me feel safe and connected.
I have only had a few tinkle accidents in the first few days of settling in and getting used to things but now use the outside toilet.
If I were to be summed in a few words it would be. Loving, sweet, gentle, cuddler, and sometimes vocal when I want it and a people pleaser for sure.

Additional adoption info

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:
Puppies (12 months and under): $475
Adult dogs (1-9 years): $400
Senior dogs (10+ years): $300

All dogs available for adoption are spayed/neutered (if not old enough, arrangements will be made), and have all up-to-date vaccinations.

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;

vii. 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
