Jax the Jack Russell?
Yes, from all appearances, I would say this little cutie is a JRT. Here are pictures of mine...note the similarities in markings, triangle-shaped ears; body type and stance, demeanor, etc. My little JRT has long legs and smooth coat; but some, like the one you have shown, have "wire-hair" (such as Eddie, in Frasier). Some have shorter legs, like "Rim Shot" in the "Ernest" movies. Re the tail, I have seen multiple pics of JRTs with longer tails, but I think generally they may be, for show purposes...cropped? Anyway, if I were guessing this one is a JRT, and I would recommend that whoever gets to take him home be willing to give him basic dog obedience and lots and lots of DAILY exercise. And be ready to be "outsmarted".
