Jackie

Jackie, Terrier/ Australian Cattle Dog Cross, Young Adult, Female 

10.  Jackie has the waggingest stub tail that goes a mile a minute whenever she sees a toy, person to love on, or another dog to play with.  Her tail never stops wagging, really, sometimes she even wags it in her sleep!

9.  Jackie is the perfect family dog....she is outgoing, friendly, great with everyone and everything, smart, and has manners.  She is exactly what people ask for in a family dog.

8. She is just the right size to be able to snuggle in your lap and yet be big enough to play around with the kids and other dogs...prissy dog, she is not!

7. Jackie adores kids.  She plays with the kids she meets and LOVES when the neighbor kids come around the play with her.  She is the ideal kids' dog because she is ready to play with the older kids and run around the yard yet gentle and careful with the little ones.

6. Jackie is a snuggler extraordinaire.  She snuggles in bed at night with me, snuggles on the couch, and is always ready for a hug or a snuggle. 

5. She gets silly as can be over squeaky toys!  Give her a squeaky toy and its amazing how much fun she can have with it.  I love to watch her with her new squeaky toys...she thinks she has the best prize in the entire world.

4. Jackie is always watching to see what I want her to do next.  She is all about pleasing me, working for me, and wanting to do the right thing.  She is so in tune to her owners she is almost always correct in what she thinks I want too.

 3.  Never in her life has Jackie met a stranger.  Everyone to her is an instant friend and she responds to them as such!  She is always happy to meet new people and everyone loves to meet her too!

2. For a young dog, Jackie's manners are incredible.  She is housetrained, crates for the workday (only because she likes to steal the shoes around the house if she is loose!), and is not a barker.  She walks pretty well on the leash with a little reminding and learns things in a flash.  I think she learned sit in about 10 minutes.

1. Jackie is probably the dog I see the most potential in of any dog in rescue.  She is the kind of dog who could and would love to do anything , agility, obedience, rally, therapy dog work, flyball, and yet she is equally thrilled about being a family companion and best friend.  She is happy to do absolutely anything her owners want.
