About Chase

Meet Chase, a smart and energetic 1-year-old Jack Russell Terrier mix who thrives in a structured environment and needs an experienced handler. Rescued by the Fillmore County Sheriff, Chase's background includes high-arousal and reactive behaviors due to anxiety and past trauma, making him a candidate for a special home. Chase needs a calm, adult-only household that minimizes stress and chaos. This means no children or busy homes; he’s looking for a predictable atmosphere to keep his anxiety in check. It's crucial that his adopter has previous experience with Jack Russells or other high-drive breeds. A secure fenced yard is a must, as he does best when he can engage in play with patient, non-reactive dogs, particularly those who are larger and confident. Managing Chase requires attention and care. His arousal levels can ramp up quickly, so it's important for his handler to recognize triggers early and provide a calming intervention. Chase has shown tendencies like resource guarding, and he may become defensive over food or favorite resting spots. Safety in public is paramount, so he must always be leashed, and for the first couple of weeks at home, a drag line is recommended to help establish safe boundaries. Thrive on strict routines, Chase does well with specific daily schedules, including meal and bedtime procedures. He knows basic commands and is making good progress with potty training. His high prey drive means he'll need ongoing mental stimulation and professional training to help fine-tune his social skills and manners. Chase is ready to find a dedicated handler to give him the structured life he needs. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
