About Chisum

This Jack Russell Terrier mix is Chisum. He has the tell-tale Jack Russell front fold ears, but we don't know what else is in the mix. He weighs 19 pounds and is 12 years old. He came to us when his previous owners were moving out of state and could not take all their dogs with them. When we went there to pick him up, he was in a small, fenced area with 2 other dogs and he was chained to a stake near a small doghouse. The pen was so far back on the property that you couldn't see them from the house. They had no grass only dirt. We did go back and rescue the remaining dog because we couldn't stop thinking about her. The other dog was given to a friend of the family. Chisum is a very social dog and loves people of all ages. He happily greets any visitors and makes them feel special. Chisum would like to be the only dog in his home. He is happy to meet other dogs, but he doesn't like to share very well. He should not live with cats. He is house trained and is comfortable being kenneled when left home alone but doesn't need to be. Chisum would love to have a fenced yard where he can run and play unrestrained. Chisum enjoys being outdoors and doing outdoor activities with his people, but then he loves to come in and snuggle up in a warm dog bed. He also loves to sit next to you on the couch and snooze while you watch TV or read. Chisum may be a senior, but he is very healthy. He has no mobility issues and he shows no sign of diminished sight or hearing. He just had a dental and got his teeth shined up. We did a blood panel at the time of his dental and everything was in the normal range. He is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, has been heartworm tested and is microchipped.
