About Sargent

Sargent is a nine-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix with a huge personality and a heart of gold. He’s a true social butterfly and loves making friends with everyone he meets—he especially adores cats and feels happiest when feline friends are nearby. Sargent is thriving in his foster home, where clear routines help him feel secure. He enjoys daily walks, neighborhood stops for treats and greetings, and then plenty of nap time close to both people and furry foster siblings. He prefers a quieter home where life is steady and predictable; too much noise or sudden commotion makes him uneasy. Still, when he’s with trusted company, Sargent comes out of his shell and shows his affectionate, easygoing side. This guy is great on a leash, enjoys the balance of outings and down time, and has distinct little quirks—like how the sound of sneezing sends him running for cover (he takes offense, every time). Sargent has been neutered, is up to date on vaccinations, and has a clean bill of health from his most recent vet exam. If you want a loyal dog with plenty of character who fits in with both dogs and cats, Sargent is ready for his next chapter. Click apply to start the adoption process.
