Greetings from NAHS! This week I'm going to interview a very special little dog, Pipsqueak! Pipsqueak is a 1 year old Jack Russel Terrier who was brought here when somebody found her running-at-large. The rescuer really liked Pipsqueak, and would have loved to keep her, but unfortunately his dog did not agree! So after a mandatory wait over at Naperville Animal Control, she came here to find her perfect family.
Pipsqueak! How are you liking your stay here at NAHS?
Things here at NAHS are pretty great. I get several long walks a day, lots of people come and sit with me in my kennel, and they make sure I'm spoiled with treats. I don't mind hanging out here, but I'm really looking forward to finding a family of my own.
A family does sound nice! What kind of family would you like?
Well, I'm not too picky, but there are certain things I would hope my new family would have. I'm very hyper and love to play, so an active family is a must. I could use a dog experienced home, and if you have Jack Russel Terrier experience that would be even better. Because I'm so active, and I can jump super high, kids in my new home should be at least twelve years old. I really want to learn some obedience, and I'm super smart, so if my new family is home at least part time that would be fabulous! There is one important thing my forever home shouldn't have: cats! My favorite thing is chasing and teasing, and possibly jumping on kitties, so I just know I'd be too much if I had to live with one.
What's your favorite thing about NAHS?
There are so many things I like about the Naperville Area Humane Society! Today I think my favorite thing are the volunteers. This morning they rushed in and took me on a nice walk first thing, then they cleaned my kennel and made sure I had toys and a soft blanket to snuggle with. And of course, they always give me yummy food and fresh water. I also love that NAHS has volunteers who just sit in my kennel and give me lots of attention. Even though I can't wait for a home to call my own, I have to admit that I'm pretty spoiled here! If anyone out there is interested in becoming a volunteer the first thing you should do is attend a volunteer orientation. One is coming up next week - on Wednesday, March 10. The orientation starts at 7pm and is being held at the Naperville Municipal Building (400 S. Eagle St). I was thinking of attending myself, but somebody has to supervise all the goings on here, so I might not make it!
