This week's featured pet at the Geauga County Dog Shelter is a young Jack Russell Terrier/Rat Terrier mix.

According to his PetFinder.com page: Cracker was dropped off at the shelter June 25, 2009. He is a very energetic little guy who is about 4-5 months old and is good around other dogs. Cracker knows sit, down and can even dance for a cookie. He has plenty of kisses to share and thinks your lap is exactly where he belongs. Happy and just a bundle of laughs, our Cracker is available for adoption today!

Doesn't Cracker sound wonderful? If only I had room in my life for a dog.

If you do, please call the Geauga County Dog Shelter and Warden's Office located in Chardon at 440-286-8135. The shelter's complete list of adoptable pets can be found here.
