The cute pup is black and white and, as the picture shows, completely adorable.

The animal's previous owner gave the dog to the Port Stephens Animal Refuge after she moved away and was unable to take it with her.

Mary Hickie from the refuge said the dog would make a great pet, calling him a "lovely puppy."

"He's a typical Jack Russell, quite energetic, very alert, and loving if treated right," she said.

The dog costs $225, which includes its first vaccination, de-sexing, microchipping and a lifetime registration.
