Harvey was rescued by a local vets after he was found in some terrible shape. This sweet little guy is now health and happy. He does have a few scars but is now in perfect shape.

Foster update: This little guy is super sweet and gets along with dogs his size and smaller. He isn't a fan of my extra large breed dogs (great dane, german shepherd) but does well with my medium to small sized dogs (beagle and Jack Russell).  He interacts well with cats although someotimes excited it only takes a slap from the cats for him to back off. He seems housebroken but has access to the back yard via my back door (he hasn't figured out the doggy door yet so i keep the back door open for him) all day while im away from home. He does not chew up anything in my home except dog toys and bones. He enjoys cuddling on the sofa, sleeping in the bed and playing with my higher energy JRT foster dog. He would really love the company of another dog of similar size and energy level.

According to www.dogbreedinfo.com, the Jack Russell Terrier was developed in 19th century England by a clergyman named Jack Russell. This feisty little terrier was used to hunt small game, particularly fox, by digging the quarry out of its den. Breeders have emphasized its working ability, so the standard is very broad, encompassing a wide range of accepted body types. On English hunts, the Jack Russell Terriers were supposed to be long-legged enough to keep up with the hounds. The energetic and playful Jack Russell makes a good family companion. The Jack Russell Terrier is a perky, merry, devoted, and loving dog. Spirited and obedient, yet absolutely fearless. Careful and amusing, he enjoys games and playing with toys. Friendly and generally kind to children who have been taught not to tease or strike the dog. They are intelligent, yet willful and determined. They have strong hunting instincts (stronger than your average terrier) and should not be trusted with other small animals. They like to chase and explore. Be careful not to let them off the lead unless they are very well-trained. Jack Russells like to bark and dig. They tend to get restless and destructive if not kept fruitfully occupied and well exercised. Jack Russells climb, which means they can climb over a fence, they also jump. A Jack that stands 12 inches high can easily jump five feet. JRTs are not the breed for a inexperienced dog owner. This is a BIG dog in a little dogs body. The owner needs to be as strong-willed as they are, or this little guy will take over.
