Truffit - In Foster Care



Name: Truffit
Sex: Female (spay not confirmed)
Age: 10 years
Breed: Jack Russell Terrier Mix
Sex: Female (spay not confirmed)
Location: About two hours west of Bakersfield, CA

Vet Info: According to Truffit's owners, she is up to date on vaccines, heartworm negative, and spayed.  Truffit's vetting has not been confirmed as her elderly owner is ill, but we will update if vetting information is received.  Truffit weighs 20 pounds.  Truffit has had both eyes removed.

Owner Info: Truffit's caregiver contacted us for help in finding adorable Truffit a new home!  Truffit is a very sweet senior Jack Russell Terrier mix.  She is her caregiver's mother's dog.  Unfortunately, Truffit's elderly owner has become weaker and more confused and is no longer able to care for herself, Truffit, or her two other dogs, so she moved from Florida to California to stay with her daughter.  In addition to her mother's two other dogs, her daughter has four dogs of her own, and they are unable to keep Truffit.  Truffit is an indoor dog with run of the house, she is housebroken and both crate and leash trained.  Truffit is a smart girl who knows several commands, including Stay, Come, Sit, Down, and Eat.  Truffit is good with people of all ages, male and female dogs, and cats.  Truffit is not possessive of toys, treats, or food, but will growl if another dog tries to take away her rawhide.  She has never bitten.  According to her owner, she had an eye infection from an unknown cause her eyes were removed.  Her owner also notes that Truffit is spayed, heartworm negative, and up to date on her vaccines, although this has not been verified.  They add that Truffit compensates for her blindness very well!
