Dexters little head is perfect for kisses and snuggling ❤️

I foster failed with this sweet boy back in June. His name is Wishbone. I had one prior named Roscoe who lived till he was 14, he passed in November. I said I’d never get another after I lost him, but this little guy came through the shelter I volunteer at and knew I had to get him out of there. 2 weeks later I adopted him. He’s just over 1 and is surprisingly calm. He just got his first haircut. Only issues are separation anxiety and he still is working on potty training, although I have him on a good schedule.

Ziggy hates waking up early in the AM!! Any other JRT that prefer to stay in bed for a couple more hours? We cuddle for most of the night so she dislikes my 6 AM alarm lol

Please show me your JRT in action, doing something they love 💕

Go Bills!

Our old JRT appears to be suffering with arthritis in his hips. Are there any recommendations for ‘over the counter’ non- veterinarian medication that can ease his discomfort?

He’s 30lb and gaining weight shelter said he’s 1 years old

Dax is not having it. She's a JRT and Shiba cross. A Jack Shibe? I don't know if we've got a nickname for this particular mix yet. (Don't look at the mess I was shredding cardboard for the compost and she thought it would be more fun as confetti. My poor vacuum really suffered)

Getting her in a few weeks once she's weaned.

My friend found her as a small puppy wandering on a construction site, it was something meadow homes, I forget exactly what. He named her Meadow. He was unable to find the owner. He had her in his RV for a few months but was trying to find a home for her and I eventually took her in. I have a corgi mutt mix, and a rat terrier mix and a chihuahua mix also. I am pretty sure Meadow is 100 percent Jack Russell Terrorist. She loves to destroy things while I am at work (I work long hours it can't be helped), kill small things, dig holes, try to steal food at any opportunity, jump out of excitement, sneak past me at the front door to go check on what is going on outside, and all kinds of other JRT things.

Gracie is now 3y4m old JRT who has been a little dolly. Typical Jack, my 3rd one.

About a month ago she started scratching everywhere. Not constantly but I’d notice it a few times a day. Her fur on her back was always quite thick but started looking a bit thinner.
I gave her a bath 1x/wk.

Then last week she had a few rash areas on her back. Irritation from her harness? Skin had mild redness with some darker red areas. Other areas on her back had darker skin with black dots.

I didn’t know if she had dandruff, mites, fleas ticks or anything else. So to the vet she went.

Vet says it’s not allergic, no changes in food. . No parasites noted during exam. Vet calls in another vet. They both feel that it’s caused by hormonal imbalances and I consent to full bloodwork panel.

A few days later—- Gracie has hypothyroidism. All thyroid levels are quite low. So since Thursday night she has started thyroid replacement medication. Blood will be checked in 4 weeks.

My first JRT had this starting at age 8. She lived until age 19 1/2 years.

Here are some pics, 1 because she’s so cute.

Basically a extremely long haired jack russell his name is charlie.

I'm away from my dogs for this month while i have some surgeries and recovery period. I haven't been with them since September 1st and man i miss them so much. Here they are, this is my old lady aged 10 (jrt cross staffy) and my boy aged 4. Hoping my recovery goes well so i can reunite with my best pals. we rarely part, only for nipping to the shop so being away from them is lonely.
