Tuppence – 2 year old female Jack Russell Terrier
Tuppence is a Jack Russell Terrier of approximately 2 years old. She came over from Ireland after being picked up as a stray 6 weeks pregnant and never claimed. The pound were going to spay her as they could find no rescues to take her pregnant, but this would have meant having to euthanase all the puppies. When we heard about her and her babies plight, we agreed to take her to save their lives and just in time…there were a matter of hours before her operation was due!
Tuppence gave birth to 6 beautiful puppies and they have all now found loving homes. Tuppence was reserved, but a week before adoption was due, the home fell through, so she is once again looking for a new home.
Tuppence is an exceptionally loving and beautiful companion. She has got a wonderful nature with people, although she does jump up at young children. It is for the purpose of washing them, but it does tend to worry them so it is best that she is homed with children over 8 years old.
Tuppence lives well with my own dogs, but does have a jealous streak in her, so care would need to be given on introductions. It is only rarely that she will have a little snap (never at people!) but once corrected then she is fine and it is only ever over who is getting the cuddle! She gets on really well with my own resident four and has accepted all shapes and sizes of dog into the home since arriving ten weeks ago.
Tuppence is clean in the home and can be left for short periods of time. Her recall is excellent when out on walks although she has to go and greet every dog she comes across and then greet whoever is walking it!
Tuppence did chase cats when she arrived, but she has settled well with our own five. If cats were in the home, then they would have to be calm laid back cats who were used to dogs. She is terrier in nature and would chase if they ran although she would not hurt a cat…it is just her instinct.
Sadly she is not great with small caged animals. She was picked up as an adult and she cannot get past the rat/rabbit/ferret barrier, so she is best not homed with any sort of animal that would be outside in a grass run etc.
Tuppence has now been spayed, first vaccinated and microchipped, plus wormed and defleaed. A homecheck will be carried out and a minimum rescue donation applies. If you can offer Tuppence a home please contact us.
