Sparkle, Jack Russell terrier and beagle mix

Sparkle is a lovable female Jack Russell terrier and beagle mix currently housed at Russell Rescue (North Carolina).

Sparkle is the life of the party, and she'll get along great with other dogs. She's vaccinated and spayed. Good news: She is already house-trained.

Here's what Sparkle's friends at Russell Rescue (North Carolina) think of her:

Sparkle is a seven-year-old female Jack Russell mix. Sparkle is striking with the ticking in her coat, and she is mostly calm, sweet and very smart! She has been trained to sit and stay from some initial training. Sparkle likes most male dogs, is not a fan of other female dogs in the house. Sparkle is curious, happy and enjoys her snuggle time, but also has some trust issues.

Petey, Jack Russell terrier

Petey is a male Jack Russell terrier dog being kept at Russell Rescue (North Carolina).

Petey loves other dogs. He is looking for cat-free household. Petey is looking for a home without small children. He's already neutered, and he has had all his shots. Fear not: He is already house-trained.

Notes from Petey's caretakers:

He is low energy and doesn't jump on you, but will fetch a ball and likes toys. He gets along with most dogs and walks nicely on a leash. Petey doesn't mind being alone and rarely barks — he is a perfect gentleman. Petey would love a home with a mild human who he can just chill and relax with after long walks. He would not mind not having any other pups in the house as he barely plays with any.

Here's more from Rosa:

I was recently diagnoses with Cushings, which means I need water more often than most. I also get medication. My vet says I am in super healthy "for an older broad." I am a little picky with my friends, so would need to meet them first. Are you ready to give me the last best chapter? I promise, you will not be disappointed!
