About Rye

Meet Rye! This 6-year-old Jack Russell Terrier is looking for a fresh start and a loving family to call her own. Weighing 11 pounds, Rye came to Wags 2 Wishes after being released from a breeding situation. While she’s friendly, she's a bit timid when meeting new people and adjusting to changes.

She appreciates gentle attention and longs for a calm environment where she can continue to grow. Her new family should be ready to work on potty training, daily routines, leash walking, and socialization. With patience, Rye can become a loyal companion, eager to love and be loved. Rye has spent her early years looking after others; now it’s time for her to be cherished. Could your home be the happy ending she’s been waiting for? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
