Meet Skunk! This 3–5 year old Jack Russell Terrier mix is a quirky, loyal little guy who really shines once he’s comfortable in his environment. In a calm, familiar home, Skunk is incredibly easy to have around—he settles in nicely and is just a great companion to coexist with.
Skunk thrives with other dogs and will definitely need a canine buddy in his forever home. He’s done well with dogs of all sizes and especially enjoys having a friend to hang out with when his people are away. He’s currently left loose in a separate room with a dog companion and does great with that setup. Crates aren’t his thing (they cause him significant stress), but with a little management he does just fine.
He’s affectionate and enjoys attention from his people, but he’s not overly needy or demanding. Skunk forms strong bonds and is especially fond of his trusted humans.
Skunk’s biggest challenge is meeting new people. He can be a bit growly at first, and it takes him about an hour to settle in and feel safe. Because of this, he’ll do best in a home without young children and with adopters who understand that he just needs a little time and patience when it comes to new introductions.
If you’re looking for a loyal, low-key companion and have a resident dog to show him the ropes, Skunk could be a really special addition to your home.
