I need to rehome my 2 yr old Jack Russell can anyone help?

[muppetgirl]

He's lovely but we had ds 2 last year and he doesn't get the attention he needs.
He's great with older kids (ds 1 is 4 and he's fine with him) loves to be with people. Great on walks (ie he comes back when called!) but hates to be shut away in a room away from you and wees and chews when he is. We have had to shut him in the study when ds 1 plays outside (our garden is very small so the kids all play on the grass out the front) as the front door is open and also when ds has friends to play (they are all scared stiff of dogs) so he hears the children having a fun old time without him.

We are looking for;

A family with older children
A retired couple
Someone who works outdoors
A farm/people with a large garden/land

He is;

A 2 yr old Tri-coloured, rough coat, Jack Russell (Stanley)
Male -been castrated
Micro chipped
Had all his injections
A fun playful little dog!
He gets on well with ther dogs -we also have a black lab (10)

He is fine with us until we can find him a better suited home but if anyone knows of anyone who is looking for a companion...

Good luck with Stanley, muppet.

I'm stunned at the hard time you got at the beginning of the thread and utterly utterly utterly stunned that mum2oandh has a dog in her house that gave her baby a bite needing 16 stitches. That's just bizarre, imo.

muppet...think you've hit the nail on the head, iykwim...'but ds's friend wouldn't leave him alone'.....kids have got to learn to leave dogs alone. I have to be really firm with my kids mates when they come to play cos not all dogs want to be bothered by kids and if they don't leave Millie alone I will shut the kids in one part of the house and let Millie have the run of the kitchen, for example. It's not her fault the kids won't let her be.

It's great you've decided to keep Stan. Well done you for not only making that decision but for trying everything and working hard to make life easier for all of you. xxxx

...and what a gorgeous boy he is! xx

I was just going to post to say I have a friend who is looking for a Jack Russell or similar (she has fallen in love with my mum's ) as we are in the south, same as you I think?

Anyway, I see you've now changed your mind which I'm sure is right as you obviously love Stanley very much.

We got our Jack Russell two weeks before I found out I was expecting, in hindsight having a dog then a baby was is not something I would repeat, however for all his odd little ways, I love the little furry freak! Although I worried at first, he is great with ds (14mo) and part of the family. Yes it is difficult giving everyone the same attention but you just have to do your best. We have stairgates at the bottom of the stairs in the lounge as well as into the kitchen so can easily separate him as he too gets over-enthusiastic with guests!
I also found having to walk him every day really helps, especially when ds was a baby, it made me get out of the house and get some fresh air! Muppetgirl, have you tried dog classes? Ours goes to agility every two weeks and loves it. There are some cheaper kennel club classes around as well, may be nice to have some time on your own with him? Good luck - Stanley is worth it!!

Hi my mums looking for a jack russell were are you if you still have the dog

This thread is from 2008

..............................................................

I saw that this was ten years ago. I wonder how things worked out in the end.

Damn, read the whole thread without realising it was a ghost 😒

Hi you still got jack Russell for rehome if so am interesting to have him pls reply bk Cathy

Hi . Are you still looking to rehome your little dog ? I am looking to rescue a jack russell dog as have recently lost one and my older jack bitch is now on her own and we would like her to have company .
Sha

frist off do you still have him if so were about are you

If she's still got him he's going to be 14 years old by now.

I doubt it - he'd be 16 by now.... @bigoy

To be honest I feel sorry for both dogs. I hate reading stories like this. I hope you never get a dog ever again OP and I mean this

Oh bugger

In fairness I'm amazed MNHQ have allowed it to stand for this length of time!

hi i am new to this so i dont now how long these things have been on here but if any one knows of any one that has a 1year old dog they wont to rehome then please let me know thank you

As far as I'm aware this isn't an animal rehoming site, surely there are better ways to get a dog than asking total strangers on the internet if they've got one going spare 🙄

Any child that behaved like that around my ddog wouldn't be welcome back.

Perhaps things have changed in the 14 years since this thread was written?!

Really? You will find new friends for your children with the criteria they like dogs?

If it doesn’t work for them then they are doing the right thing by trying to find a more suitable home for the dog, stop with the guilt tripping.

There is a lot of unnecessary hate on here towards this post but I will say this with kindness. You say your behaviourist is baffled by the dogs behaviour, may I suggest finding a new behaviourist. We had to go through a few before we found the right one to help our cockapoo.

Our dog was terrified of strangers, white vans, wheelie bins, loud noises, crowds, etc...now 2 years later she is a different dog. Still has issue with some men but overall she is healthy and happy dog.

Do not give up and rehome your dog as you are passing that problem onto someone else and what could end up is your dog is passed around from home to home, which is unfair.

I need to rehome my 1yr old jack Russell, I’m 74 yrs old and I can’t give him the excessive he needs, he’s a lovely boy, had his injections, and up to date with his worm and flea tablets that I get from vets for pets, I think he would be good for a home without younger children, I’m heartbroke I need to do this, but I feel I’m not giving him what he needs, I would like home to go to a loving home where he will have regular exercise
