About Jumper

Meet Jumper, a spirited young Jack Russell Terrier with a big personality and a knack for toy obsession. He may have been left behind during an eviction, but he's ready to leap into his next adventure with a forever family. Jumper is known for his playful energy, especially when it comes to chasing balls—throw one, and he might bring it back or just make you fetch it yourself! When he's not busy with toys, Jumper loves exploring the great outdoors. He thrives on outside time, sniffing around and investigating everything in sight. A back rub is one of his favorite things, particularly in a nice yarrow patch, though he's open to finding new rubbing spots! His pastime includes squirrel watching, which he can do for hours, even if they often tease him with their agility. He's still mastering leash skills and house training, so a patient and understanding adopter would be ideal for this young fellow. Born on December 26, 2025, Jumper weighs around 11.4 pounds and is up to date on vaccinations. He is scheduled to be neutered on October 13, but he’s ready to give endless love and curiosity to the right home. This little guy is ready to leave behind a tough past and find his forever family.
