JRT needs a new home More pictures added

[Mamy]

I am sad to say Toby is back up for adoption. He has been in a new home for 3 months, but he will not stop pooping in their house, so they can not keep him. :( We did not have this issue with him at all with him when he lived with us.
If anyonde wants a good boy, who gets along well with kids, but needs tobe an only dog, let me know.


I am devestated to say I have to rehome one of my JRT's. Toby is a VERY good boy. But he hates his brother. We have tried everything and for months thought things were all better. But he is after his brother again. Toby is wonderful with our other JRT, and ADORES my kids(ages 9,6,5,2 and infant)
Toby is 2, up to date on all his shots, crate trained. He is good enough on the leash that my 9 yr old can walk him, but he is not perfect on the leash.
Toby loves to cuddle. He is super sweet. We all love him . But with the kids, we can't risk they boys fighting. So we keep them in their crates, and this is not fair either.
I think it would be best for Toby to be an only dog. Anyone interested will be asked alot , ALOT of questions. You you also be asked to keep in touch and send pictures. He has to go to a good loving home.
this pic is a bit old. He is longer hair/broken coat. He has the cutest brown eye brows. I will get more pictures tomorrow.

ETA: We live in Pennsylvania. If I can I am happy to try to drive him to his new home. (but my newborn hates the car so I may not be able to do this.)
Toby is neutered.
And there is NO chance of him going to the pound. The current situation sucks, but untul he finds an AWESOME , loving home, he stays here! I truely love my little doggie..... and the pound is not an option. Still working on more pictures. Having issues with my newborn, so If you need anyone interested can also email me: bballmom@ptd.net

Here are some pictures:

He's absolutely ADORABLE! I sooooo wish I could take him, but I have two JRTs already and, although mine get along VERY well with other dogs, from your post it sounds like Toby wouldn't fit well. Years ago, I went through the "two JRTs not getting along" syndrome (for FIVE YEARS), and it's no fun, to say the least.

You might want to post your location, and indicate whether or not Toby is neutered.

Good luck to you. Whatever you do, PLEASE don't take him to the pound. If you don't get any bites here, maybe try Russell Rescue: www.russellrescue.com (http://www.russellrescue.com)

Also, if you are interested, the Tufts Veterinary School does an email/fax animal behaviorist consultation. I've used them twice for my cats (once to stop one from shredding a couch and the other to stop two cats from fighting). In both cases they solved the problem.

I think it is around $200; you fill out an extremely detailed questionnaire and the behaviorist gets back to you in something like a week with very detailed recommendations (like 25 pages).

Completely understand if you don't want to go that route, but I pass it on as it helped fix an intolerable situation for me.

This little stinker might be the ticket for my MIL. She has been a widow for a year now and adores our little terriers and my SIL's JRT. We have been putting the bug in her ear about looking into a small dog for a companion, but she isn't one to jump in and do something without some hand holding. She is 70s, very active and mobile (already goes for twice daily walks around the neighborhood without a dog!) and has plenty of disposable income. If you haven't found someone for him and you think this home sounds good, PM me and we'll talk more. I have a feeling you might be inundated with offers already, tho - he's such a cutie!

Wendellsgirl you have a pm!

ACK! Opening those pictures up was the worst thing I could have done. I have two and I'd like to work up to a herd of them. But since he'd like to be an only dog I'll cross post the little fella on lancasterhorse.com.

Ugh. He is just darling. We lost our 12 year old JRT this year due to a terminal illness. If I didn't have my Great Dane, he would be perfect for us (2 kids that are great with animals, horses at home, acreage, etc). I just wouldn't want to set him up for failure. If he wants to be an only, then he should be an only. That is just how the JRTs are. I always laugh about the dog behaviorists when it comes to JRTs. You would have to pay someone to tell you that your dog is a JRT and regular rules do not apply. ;) :lol:

Lots of luck finding him a good home. :yes:

[Mamy]

Toby needs a home again. :(

[VWBug]

Oh no- what happened?

[Mamy]

Oh no- what happened?


From what they are telling us Toby poops in their house. They just emailed me last night to tell us they can not keep him. He did not poop inside here. (his brother does though but I digress....) I feel we should take him back and find him sa new home. My pipe dream would be that Toby would magically get along with his brother now. But I doubt that will happen. DH is thinking we should let them find a home for him.... The new family does say over and over what a great little dog he is though. He gets along great with their 2 yr old.

Sorry to hear this about him! Pooping in the house is usually an easily fixed issue with proper training-- on both the art of the humans and the dogs :) Do they have him in a crate? What is the potty routine? Do they see him go outside or does he not go and immediately come back in and go? You mention a two year old-- are they busy with the child and forget to take the dog out as needed or perhaps miss signals from him when he needs to go? Is he always going in the same location inside?

I know this.(even though I can not for the life of me get his brother to stop pooping in my house!) But I think they feel it is not what they wanted. They walk him to poop, and say he simply does not poop when they walk him. He would be let free in the yard at my house whenever he was near the door. It seems it is not the same there. They seemed v ery devoted to him, and I am thinking they tried everything they knew to try. I honestly feel the wife/mom just is done with it all and said the dog had to go.(Honestly, I feel the same way some days about the dog we have, but he is not going anywhere) So I understand her frusteration. But now I am at a loss about poor Toby.
