🐾 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.

💛 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

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:
Still learning house training – improving daily with guidance and routine

Learning to use a doggy door

Walks well on lead – still a bit distracted by all the smells!

Knows “sit” and is 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, Jacky Chan might just be your perfect match.
