My story

Rocky is a sweet, affectionate Jack Russell rescue who wants nothing more than love and attention. He was rescued from Georgia Jack Russell Rescue, is neutered and microchipped, and does very well with most other dogs. Rocky has a very high prey drive and has unfortunately killed two cats in our home, including one outdoor cat he was able to reach. Because of this, he must be placed in a home with no cats or small furry pets. Temperament & Needs: Very loving and people-oriented — thrives on attention and affection. Good with most dogs; may show dominance toward other males if they enter his space—supervision and careful introductions are recommended. Not safe with cats or small animals due to strong prey drive. Ideal home: committed, active household without cats/small pets; experienced dog owners preferred. Medical & Background: Rescued from Georgia Jack Russell Rescue Neutered and microchipped (through the rescue)

If you have any questions or would like to adopt Rocky, please reach out to the adoption group directly. PetSmart Charities does not facilitate the adoption process. Thank you.
