Pet Patrol
"Bob is a very special little dog, with
white, curly hair, a long, wagging tail and al-
ways a smile on his face-part wire haired ter-
rier? and Jack Russell? He is two years old
and weighs about 23 pounds. He is a very
active boy, who needs a fenced yard where
he can run and play. He loves to be walked
and behaves very well on a leash. Bob en-
joys being with older children and other dogs.
He plays catch and has nearly mastered the
disk catching game. His favorite game is chas-
ing the water coming out of a hose. He likes
being petted and especially enjoys being
rubbed. A car ride is his favorite treat.
Bob needs a home where someone
can give him the time and attention an active
little guy needs, and who understands the one-track mind of the Terrier, requiring that he
remains fenced, or leashed, at all times. Curiosity and the desire to explore can lead to disaster
for terriers. Adopt A Rescued Pet, Inc. does home visits prior to adoptions. PHONE AARPI at
795.9550, LOUDLYAND CLEARLY, REPEAT your name, number, and pet's name, for a return
call from his foster mom, Martha, later. Come see the pets!"
