Ok, so if you know anything about Jack Russells, that title is probably wrong. I’m pretty true to my breed’s form – FULL of energy and FULL of love!

Let me level with you though, I’m a bit high maintenance and I need a certain kind of forever home – an experienced one that will continue the training and work my fantastic foster family has already started. I’m quite a spoiled foster in that way, my foster mom is the best! She’s been working with me to teach me how to be a great pooch. I’ve learned sit, lay down, shake, shake other paw and we’re working on stay and wait. I’m also working on trusting male peoples, little peoples and those frisky felines. And working on when to chat and when to, um, not chat. Because, oh, I do love to chat!

When I’m not exercising my mind, I love exercising my body. Chasing balls is my favourite playtime activity. I’m a fantastic fetcher! I’m pretty jazzed about cuddles too. I like to be ascloseaspossible to my people for tons of cuddles and kisses.

I respond best to POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT training and I’m very smart, so working with me should always be lots of fun for both of us. Once I learn my basics, I know I would excel in agility training. Oh, the fun we could have and the tricks I could learn!!

So let’s meet! You bring the ball and I’ll bring my charming personality.

Apply to adopt Elton!

Did someone say ‘WALK’? I LOVE WALKS!

I love them! I love them! I love them!!! Oh, man, I love walks SOOOOOO much!!

The only thing I like better than walks is people. People are great. I want to be with them ALLLLLLL the time, so they can walk me and snuggle me and pet me and give me belly rubs and walk me again. And then do all that all over again!

I’m an adventurer at heart, looking for my adventure/snuggle partner. Or maybe partners? I’m not picky about my human companions, I love them all. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met a human I didn’t like! I not so open to animal companions though. I need to have my humans all to myself. But don’t worry, I will love you as much as a pack of puppies! I have the energy of a pack of puppies, too! Being seven doesn’t slow me down at all. I’m in the prime of life!

I don’t mean to be boastful, but I really am a very sweet, loving and outgoing lady with a heart of gold. I really don’t know why the universe hasn’t found my perfect adventure companions yet.

Maybe it’s YOU?

Hey there! Christy May here! Just hanging on the table with my foster pop, figuring out what the day has in store for us.

My foster mom tells me I’m not supposed to be on the table, but my foster sister does it and I come from feral beginnings, so what do I know? (Insert my silly signature Christy May smile here.) Plus it really is the best way to get the humans to play with me.

I went to the Edmonton Comic Expo in September and you know what? It wasn’t half bad! My foster mom said I was amazing, “friendly and appropriate.” Not too shabby for a pup from the streets. I’ve come a long way and even though I still have some anxiety, I’m learning positive ways to handle it – like chewing on bones and antlers. Nomnomnomnom!!

I love my foster family with my whole, whole heart, but I think I’m ready for my forever home. (You know, before they get too attached to me.) I’m an energetic girl so a walker or jogger would be a match made in heaven. And I’ll need help and patience transitioning to a new home, but I am positive we will grow into a solid relationship. As long as you give me lots of treats. Which of course you will, because look at my face.
