About Jack Russell Terrier Dogs

Jack Russell Terriers are small, athletic, and incredibly energetic terriers with personalities that are ten times their size. They are fearless, intelligent, and tenacious, originally bred for fox hunting in England. Their white coat with tan or black markings and their alert expression are iconic.

Adopting a Jack Russell brings a lively, entertaining companion who will keep you active and laughing. They are incredibly smart, excel at tricks and agility, and bond closely with their families. Their boundless energy and bold personality make every day an adventure.

Local Climate & Pet Care

Winter

25°F to 40°F

Dec – Feb

Philly winters bring cold temperatures, snow, and icy sidewalks treated with salt. Protect your pet’s paws with booties or wax, and wipe them down after walks. Fairmount Park and the Schuylkill River Trail are still accessible but can be slippery after storms.

Spring

40°F to 68°F

Mar – May

Spring cherry blossoms along the Schuylkill River make for beautiful walks with your pet. Temperatures gradually warm through the season, and parks come alive with activity. Watch for seasonal allergies in pets as pollen levels rise in April and May.

Summer

68°F to 88°F

Jun – Aug

Hot, humid summers in Philly call for shade and hydration on walks through the city. Avoid midday pavement and stick to shaded trails in Wissahickon Valley Park. Carry water for your pet and take breaks in the shade during longer outings.
