Rain is sweet 10 year old Jack Russell Terrier. He joined our program in mid-March as an owner surrender. Rain immediately moved into a foster home where he has been doing well adjusting to his new environment. He enjoys walks, car rides, playing with toys, other dogs and spending time with people.
Rain is up to date on vaccinations, microchipped and scheduled to be neutered in May.
For more details about Rain’s personality and in home behaviors, please read the foster report below.
Typically our dogs stay in a foster home where we can learn as much about them as possible to assist with our efforts for making the best match with a new home. The adjustment period for every dog is different while they are transitioning into a foster home as well as a forever home. Our foster providers send us their foster reports and the information received is updated on our website throughout the dogs time with us.
Our Foster Provider Program is an integral part of our mission to Respect the Dog. Without fosters, we wouldn’t be able to do what we do. We are always actively screening individuals and families to provide our dogs with a safe, structured, foster home to give each dog the time, love and respect they deserve while they are in search of landing their forever home.

Foster Provider Dog Report
Rain Is the Perfect Springtime Dog!
Rain has been doing great in his foster home and has received glowing reports from his foster family. Rain loves to go for car rides and walks and he loves other dogs. His foster family has taken him to dog-friendly restaurants, where he has a great time and is the life of the party.
He’s got a lot of energy on walks and pulls a little on the leash, but he’s small so he’s easy to handle. While he’s interested in other animals – like squirrels – he sees on his walks, he has no interest in chasing them. With a little more practice, we think he’ll be a champ on the leash. When he’s not out and about meeting people and dogs, he can be found playing with toys or napping, his other two favorite pastimes.
As Rain is a slightly older dog, he’s probably not the right choice for younger children, though he has met them and just ignores them. He would do great with a family with older kids, a single person or a couple, and as he loves other dogs and has shown no prey drive, would likely do well if there are other animals in the household.
You don’t have to wait for those May flowers to meet Rain! He’s available now for adoption through Secondhand Mutts.
