Meet Django

Meet Django! A spirited one-year-old Jack Russell Terrier/Australian Cattle Dog mix from Marshall, NC, whose essence is a whirlwind of enthusiasm wrapped in a stunning blue merle coat. Django is a small, agile dynamo weighing around 25 pounds, with a heart as big as his boundless energy! This smart, sweet boy has an adventurous streak and a playful sparkle in his eye. Whether he’s playing keep away with a favorite toy, weaving through obstacles like a natural-born agility champ, or digging for imaginary treasures (moles and mice) in the backyard, Django brings the kind of joy only a high-energy pup can provide. His cleverness and coordination hint at a hidden talent—agility training could be his calling! He's a social butterfly with other dogs and loves being part of the action. Though he can be a little intense in his enthusiasm when making new canine friends, it all comes from a genuine love of play. Django has had a bit of a rough patch with another male dog recently, so a home where he can play with confident, compatible dogs—or soak up the spotlight as a solo pup—would be a great fit. He’s still learning the ropes of basic training (he knows sit, stay, and get down), and with a patient guardian and some positive reinforcement, he's sure to shine! When Django bonds with you, it’s for life. He’s the type to curl up in your lap (or drape himself dramatically across you for a good neck rub) and stare up with those "let’s go somewhere!" eyes. He’s always game for a car ride, a hike, or even a stroll through the store. Django thrives with structure and needs a family who’s ready to keep him both mentally and physically stimulated—he’s not just a pet, he’s a partner in adventure! Are you the kind of person who’s looking for a loyal sidekick with energy to spare and a heart full of affection? Django’s ready to start his next chapter. Could that be with you?
