Athletic Dogs Will Keep You Hopping

Check out these potential best friends for the active set.

Jack Russell Terriers are the canine world's Cirque du Soleil performers—they can jump high and abound with energy.

But they're not the only dogs you'll find that are athetic—boxers, huskies and frisbee-chasing Labradors make great best friends if you've got an active lifestyle.

For more information on any of this week's featured best friend candidates, contact the rescue groups below.
