Oh, gather ‘round, pet lovers! 🤗 Meet Deke, a vibrant Jack Russell Terrier/hound mix, bursting with life and joy! This spirited young man is estimated to be about 7 to 12 months old, and let me tell you, his energy is a force of nature! 🌟 Deke’s love for exploring is unrivaled; he’s always on a nose-led adventure, sniffing out new wonders and chasing balls with enthusiasm that could light up a room! 🐾 Did I mention he’s still working on the whole ‘returning the ball’ part? But it’s all part of the fun, isn’t it? 😊 At a playful 30 lbs, Deke's joyful greeting style might just cause smaller children to get swept off their feet! His wagging tail and soft barks reveal a heart full of love. 💖 He’s a quick learner, folks! By lesson three, he was sitting like a pro, and in mere days, he mastered the art of house training and happily learned to navigate a doggie door like a champ! 🏆 Deke thrives with an active person or family, especially if there are older kids involved! He’s your future hiking buddy, jogging pal, or frisbee champion! 🥏 He adores playing with other medium-sized energetic dogs, bringing his playful spirit to every match! Just a gentle reminder, his exuberant play style might be a bit much for smaller pooches. This guy is firmly in that lively teenage phase, so expect him to bark at the unexpected and use his curious mouth to investigate everything – shoes, hands, you name it! 👟 But fear not!
