Wormie is an affectionate, super high energy Jack Russell mixed with poodle. At least that’s our best guess.

He weighs about 20 pounds and he likes well behaved children. He is crate trained, and would like a very active owner. He would probably do very well at agility or flyball.

And he is looking forward to receiving a new name.

Wormie is neutered, microchipped, and vaccinated. He is at the El Dorado County Animal Services shelter in Meyers, along with many other dogs and cats who are waiting for their new homes. Go online to see photos and description of all pets at the shelter.

Call (530) 573.7925 for directions, hours, and other information on adopting a pet.
