About Erik

Meet Erik !! The little guy has the cutest face! He is super tiny but has lots of personality. Erik is a Male, approx. 5 year old, he's a tiny jack Russell mix best guess. He weighs 9 pounds and is almost full grown. He is still regaining weight. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines. He is Heartworm negative and on preventatives. Erik ended up at the shelter and it was obvious he had been very mistreated by someone. His legs were stained with urine, his nails were absolutely horrible and he was extremely thin. Despite all of that he was a sweet loving boy. He has flourished in his foster home and is doing excellent. He does well on car rides. He is leashed trained with some minor pulling but due to his small size its easy to manage. He's crate trained but can be vocal when first put in. He is mostly vocal when he is crated and can still see you moving around. He is mostly potty trained and does not have any accidents in the crate. He rarely has accidents out of the crate but he will sometimes start to lift his leg inside the house, If you correct him he will stop. This behavior is fading more and more since his neuter. Erik is fostered with other dogs of all sizes and has done great with them. Despite his small size he has no fear of larger dogs. He does try to hump other dogs but will stop if they correct him. He has not met any cats so we are unsure how he would do. He has not been fostered with kids but hes a sweet happy boy so we think he would do fine. He needs to be with kids old enough to not treat him like a toy. He is very small so care needs to be taken not to hurt him. Erik has a medium energy level. He has a spunky side and loves to run around and play with the other dogs but also loves to cuddle. He likes to be carried around and hang out with you. He enjoys to curl up on the couch beside you and relax after playing with the other dogs. He has not shown much interest in toys so far. He is a really good mix of playful and relaxed. He so far has not shown any food, toy or treat aggression toward people. He is fed separately at his foster home so we arent sure if he would share food with other dogs. He eats in his crate and that is an easy way to avoid any issues. He was a good boy at the vet and seems to love everyone. He does have a very high pitched bark when kenneled so he may not be the best fit for an apartment. He's learning and getting better but we want to set him up for success. If you are looking for a super tiny, cuddly yet fun guy then he may be the one. His foster mom says he is easy to have around the house. Vet and home checks required Located in Hampton VA.
