Our rescue puppy

So apparently because we have a Jack Russell Terrier, we're the ones to call if someone needs to find a home for one. My cousin called me because a friend of hers has 2 JRT's and needed to find a home for one. Apparently, there was a deal made between the 2 children in the house and the one girl that belongs to this pup didn't keep up her end of the deal. From what they told us it's unfortunate for the pup, but some real tough love for the teen.

So we picked him up today with arrangements already made that my DH's Aunt was going to get him. She loves our Piper and has been looking for a pup. It was a perfect match!

He's a typical JRT. Tri-colored (which I'm not fond of. . .that's why it took me 3 months of searching for Piper), a shorty and very chubby! Piper is a long-legged JRT and very slim & trim.

So without further ado, here he is:

This is Piper's "oh no, he's not staying is he?" look. See the difference in size between the two? He's only 4 months old and she's 13 months!



One of the first things we did was got rid of the jingly cat collar. We weren't sure if he would take off on us because they said he liked to run. We have a really large yard and they didn't but just to be safe we kept him on his leash.
I have to admit I wasn't ready for 2 JRT's in our small house but he really was a treat to keep for an hour. He was very happy and didn't seem scared or sad with us. My DD was really bumming. I know she was thinking Piper is mine and my DH's and he could be hers. Just can't happen at this point in time. I know he will have a great home with Aunt Florence.

Aww, he is darling! I really do love Piper's "look" though, so unique! I'm glad he found a good home so quickly though, he and Piper will have to have some "playdates" so you can keep us updated on how he's doing! :)

I prefer Piper's coloring, too, AND the slim trim look. That first shot--you can just see the alert inquisitivness and energy in him. I can just imagine the chaos 2 JRT could bring to a house...

Oh my goodness...he is just a doll. I love the playfulness you captured in these photos. Who could resist a sweet face like that anyway.
