Meet Maurice. Soooooooo cute! He’s quite the boy! Where are our Jack Russell Terrier people?

This guy is a larger JRT. Weighing in at nearly 32 pounds, 4 year old Maurice is unique in size for his breed. He’s cute as can be and he’s a fairly new arrival at Summit County animal control. As a reminder, when pups are of an appropriate weight for their size, the result is a sturdier, healthier dog.

Maurice prefers to be an only dog. He wants his humans all to himself. Imagine … his next pet-parent, and family, getting all the love. Not a bad gig! Keep in mind… we don’t like everybody we meet and cannot expect our dogs to like every dog they meet, either.

We haven’t known this handsome pup very long, but we can give him a good resume’. Maurice has a lot of living to do. Can he do it with you?
