About Radar

Radar is a 12-year-old Jack Russell Terrier with a big personality packed into a small, bold body. He ended up at the rescue due to changes beyond his control and is looking for a stable, loving home to settle down in. Radar's ideal situation would allow him to remain with his daughter and best friend, Little Ann, though he would also be content as the apple of your eye if he receives plenty of attention. He’s got that classic terrier confidence and isn't afraid to voice his opinion—especially when it comes to alerting you about wildlife in the yard. A home with a fenced yard or someone willing to take him on regular leash walks is a good fit, since Radar needs frequent potty breaks thanks to his little-dog bladder. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who isn’t shy about protecting his people from squirrels and birds, Radar is ready to meet you in Westminster, MD. Let's make it official, apply to adopt!
