Thumper - Male 3-Year-Old Jack Russell Terrier for Adoption in Hardin County, KY

He was a stray when I got him. We think he’s partially deaf. He likes to run and it’s hard to keep him in the house. I have 4 kids and can’t handle him anymore. I can’t get him to keep a leash or a harness or collar on and he won’t stay in the house. I’m sure someone with more time and energy could give him what he needs but I just don’t have that.

He’s a loyal and playful dog who loves toys and quality time. He can be a little shy at first, but once he feels comfortable, he’s very affectionate and enjoys being part of the routine. I’m looking for a loving, stable home where he can get the time, patience, and attention he deserves. Ideally, someone who understands he may need a little time to warm up and is willing to help him build confidence. A calm environment and consistent routine would help him feel secure and happy.

Oreo is a friendly dog who needs more attention than we can give him unfortunatly. He can be the sweetest thing and I think with the right training he can be trained to be inside
