Personality, Breed Info & Expectations
Pepe is a fun-loving, energetic young dog with a playful personality and a heart full of affection. At just under a year old, he is full of curiosity and enthusiasm, always ready to explore, play, and spend time with his favorite people. He loves being part of the action and enjoys every opportunity to learn something new or head out on an adventure.
Pepe is friendly with other dogs and does well with children, making him a wonderful addition to an active family. He is curious about cats and may chase them as part of his playful nature, but he has not shown aggression or any desire to harm them. With proper introductions, supervision, and continued training, he can continue building good manners around feline friends.
As a Jack Russell Mix, Pepe is intelligent, alert, and full of personality. Jack Russell-type dogs are known for their quick minds, confidence, loyalty, and enthusiasm for life. They thrive when given regular exercise, mental challenges, and positive reinforcement. Pepe is eager to bond with his family and will flourish in a home that keeps both his body and mind engaged.
Pepe would thrive in a home prepared for:
Daily exercise and active playtime
Continued positive reinforcement training
Structure, consistency, and routine
Ongoing socialization and enrichment
A family with children or other friendly dogs
Supervised introductions if living with cats
A lifelong commitment to his emotional and physical well-being
He is a young dog with tremendous potential and is ready to become a loyal lifelong companion.
Training, Adjustment & What to Expect
Like many rescue dogs, Pepe may need time to adjust to a new home, routine, and environment. Even friendly and social dogs benefit from patience and consistency during the transition period.
Most rescue dogs arrive with varying levels of training, so adopters should be prepared to continue reinforcing household manners and routines. Pepe is intelligent, eager to learn, and responds well to positive reinforcement.
Pepe will benefit from:
Positive reinforcement training
Daily structure and routine
Continued socialization and exposure
Mental stimulation through games and puzzle toys
Regular exercise to help channel his energy
Patience and consistency
Please remember the 3-3-3 Rule:
3 days to decompress
3 weeks to learn your routine
3 months to fully feel at home
With patience, love, and guidance, Pepe will blossom into a confident, well-mannered, and devoted companion.
Owner Responsibilities & Veterinary Care
Owning a dog is a lifelong commitment that includes training, exercise, companionship, and routine veterinary care.
Pepe will need:
Daily walks and active playtime
Routine veterinary care and wellness exams
Preventative care including flea, tick, and parasite prevention
Proper nutrition and weight management
Continued training and mental enrichment
A safe, stable indoor living environment
Consistent veterinary care, daily exercise, and plenty of companionship will help Pepe live a happy, healthy, and fulfilling life.
Pepe is an indoor family dog and is not to be chained or left outside.
