Homeward bound pet of the week: Jacque
Fast & Furriest January 8, 2023
Meet Jacque, a 2 ½ year old Jack Russell Terrier, is the epitome of a JRT. He looks like he just stepped off the cover of a magazine! He’s that handsome plus has a great personality to boot! Jacque loves to walk on a leash and enjoys a jaunt in a fenced-in yard. He is house trained and up to date on all vaccinations and monthly preventatives. If you are familiar with JRTs, you know that these little terriers are barky. Jacque is no exception. He would undoubtedly be quieter when he gets the attention he craves. The former owner told us that Jacque is deaf, however, he has reacted to some noise at the kennel, so we think he may not be completely deaf. He has not been around cats or kids. Jacque will need a family who understands his breed, personality and needs.

Homeward bound pet of the week: Henri
Fast & Furriest December 11, 2022
Henri was a lost boy in animal control that sadly no one came to claim. He is a terrier mix with a very soft but coarse coat. Don’t let that bit of frost on his face fool you – he is a very spunky 7 year old. He will be completely vetted in September.
Henri has a strong prey drive and walks with his nose to the ground constantly looking for something to sniff out. At this time, we are going to say no cats, please. He can pull, but at only 21#’s he is fairly easy to walk and would do well with a harness. Learn more about him at hbpr.org.

Homeward Bound Pet Of The Week: Petey
Fast & Furriest May 9, 2021
This handsome boy, Petey, is 44 lbs. of love and snuggles. Petey’s sordid past does not keep him from smiling at everyone he meets! He is
house trained, enjoys walking on a leash, chewing on squeak toys and just hanging out next to you.
