Hi there! I'm Ira! nice to meet you and thanks for stopping by to read about me! I am adorable and lovely and you will LOVE me! I'm around 9-10 years old and was rescued from the shelter after I was surrendered from what appears to be a hoarding situation. not sure what happened to my leg but it's missing and I get around just fine without it. I can leap like any other dog! I am great with everyone and everything and my favorite activity is being cuddled in your arms. I am working on potty training and I have a little separation anxiety when my foster leaves but nothing super alarming. wanna be best friends? please note All of our dogs are in private foster homes. Once you fill out an application it will be screened by our volunteer adoption team. From there, if your application looks like a good fit for the particular dog, it will be sent to the foster where you can ask all the questions you would like and schedule a meet and greet. We do not transport our dogs. If you apply from out of state we do request you come to Los Angeles to meet us and fly home in cabin or drive. www.apurposefulrescue.org
🧠 Temperament
Bold, curious and busy. Terriers were bred to hunt independently, which shows up as tenacity, a strong prey drive and a low tolerance for boredom. They are often more dog-selective than people-selective.
🎾 Exercise
Moderate to high, and mental more than physical — 45-60 minutes plus digging, sniffing or puzzle outlets.
✂️ Grooming
Varies. Wiry coats need hand-stripping or clipping every few months; smooth coats need very little.
🏙️ In an LA apartment
I am working on potty training and I have a little separation anxiety when my foster leaves but nothing super alarming. Their small size suits apartments well.
