🐾 Meet Jacky Chan Peggotty 🐾

Looking for a little shadow who’ll follow you with adoring eyes and a
wagging tail? Say hello to Jacky Chan Peggotty—a bright, playful, and
affectionate young pup with a whole lot of heart and a dash of spunk!
Jacky Chan is a classic Jack Russell mix — energetic during playtime but
surprisingly calm and respectful outside of it. He’s incredibly social,
great with other dogs (respectfully asking to play and backing off if
it’s a no), and absolutely thrives on human attention. He loves toys, is
clever and eager to learn, and just wants to make his people happy.
Jacky is also happy to travel in the car and accompany you, whether
running errands or enjoying a day out exploring the world.

💛 Personality & Background:
Jacky Chan shows signs of having had a rough start—he’s a little
skittish around raised hands or if he thinks he’s done something wrong,
suggesting he may have been mistreated in the past. He’s also a bit of a
food scavenger, possibly due to competition or scarcity when younger.
With a consistent feeding routine and love, he’s already starting to
settle.

🏡 Ideal Home:
Jacky needs a home with:
Someone home most of the time (work-from-home or stay-at-home adult
preferred)
Another well-trained, active dog to learn from and play with, but may be fine as an only dog
provided he can spend most of the day with his human/s
Older children or adults who understand his gentle nature
A secure yard for zoomies and exploring
He struggles with separation anxiety and isn’t ready to be left alone
for long periods. He finds great comfort in people and dog companions
alike.

🐕 Training & Needs:
Is house trained and has mastered the doggy door
Walks well on lead – still a bit distracted by all the smells!
Knows “sit” and is intelligent and eager to learn more
Sleeps best on a dog bed right next to his human – bonus points if he
can touch you with a paw!

🐾 Other Info:
Good with other dogs – gentle, polite, and respectful
Not tested with cats but chases birds outside (shows minimal interest in
caged indoor bird)
No signs of aggression or guarding – just a strong drive for food!
A little nervous being picked up, but handles it well and travels okay
in a crate

💬 Final Thoughts:
Jacky Chan Peggotty is a sweet, soulful little guy with a big heart and
an even bigger desire to be loved. With the right home—one full of
patience, affection, and a bit of structure—he’s sure to blossom into a
loyal, happy companion. He’s already showing how quickly he can learn
and how deeply he can bond. If you’re ready for a playful, loving pup
who wants to be your best friend and fill your home with love and cuddles,
Jacky Chan might just be your perfect match.
