Story
Ramsey is a really loving and fun dog. He likes to be with you and gets along great with other dogs, cats, and children. He likes to play and loves going on walks and to the dog park. He's social, housetrained, knows how to whine at the door when he needs to go, and can sit and lay down on command. He is healthy and is neutered. He had a teeth cleaning just a few months ago and is in great health. I've had him for 7 years and in those years, my life has taken an unexpected turn, and I am no longer in a position to continue his care. I would describe him as the perfect amount of energy, not a ball of energy. Hes loving, loves to be right where you are, at work, in the office, or in the yard with you. He doesn't do as well alone, but he can be crated to ease his anxiety if he doesn't have a buddy around, He loves other dogs, and enjoys running and playing fetch with squeaky toys. Hes a great companion for a human or another dog.

Cardiff, CA
Size

Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Napoleon is a 9-year-old Jack Russell Parsons that loves to play ball. "Ball is Life" is his motto and there isn't anything he'd rather do than a good game of fetch. He is healthy and hasn't had any health issues outside of having a sensitive stomach which a consistent diet can resolve. His owners love him but need to find a suitable home since there is a baby on the way. Napoleon is fearful and can act aggressively with very young children under 7. Napoleon is a very affectionate and loving animal. He loves and needs to be in the company of others if they are at home. Although he doesn't like being confined to a crate, he has no issues if you lease him tightly and will sit on his bed. He just needs to spy what's going on and be part of the family.

Story
Coco is the sweetest girl and loves all humans! She maintains healthy weight, always eats her meals, and is always up for a long jog, run, hike, or bike ride. Although she is great with activites, she is also a great cuddler. At times however, she does get anxious, possibly because of her past. She has been living with a boxer for over a year but has moments of anxiety and has become angry with the other canine. They both remain separated and also go on separate walks, Coco likes this much better.
