Levi is a small, mixed breed dog with Jack Russell and wire-haired terrier qualities, sporting a cream-colored wire coat. He is an adult neutered male, about 4 years and 3 months old, currently located in New Milford, CT. Levi is house trained, playful, and attaches closely to his person. His vaccinations are up to date, and he is looking for an adult-only, cat-free home.

About Levi

Levi has settled into his foster home and is ready for his next chapter. At around three years old, he’s got a charming, wire-haired look that hints at Jack Russell, shih tzu, and terrier mix—whatever the lineage, he’s easy on the eyes and a compact 22 pounds. Levi loves to play, especially with toys, and enjoys zipping around the yard. The couch calls to him just as much, and once he bonds with someone, he blends playful energy with a deep need to cuddle. He takes a little while to warm up, but once he chooses his person, he’s loyal and affectionate. Levi gets along with other small dogs, though he’s not comfortable around large dogs and hasn’t taken to living with cats. Because quick changes and too much activity can overwhelm him, a quiet, adult-only home suits him best. Daily walks give him an outlet for his playful side, and he appreciates a calm household where he can attach closely to his person. If you’re looking for a smart, curious companion who thrives on one-on-one connection, Levi could be your match. Born February 3rd makes him an Aquarius—independent and unique, just like his personality. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
