We were looking to get a Jack Russel dog, when I saw this listing. Does this mean she has been fixed? Or what?

It means the animal has been spayed/ neutered. To prevent future pet overpopulation, shelters have adopted the policy to have all animals "fixed" before they are adopted. This also prevents the risk of related cancers in the animals.

Yes, she has been fixed so that she can no longer have puppies that could potentially fill the shelter or the homes available for teh shelter dogs.

Yes, she has been spayed. When you adopt a dog from a shelter or rescue, they have already been spayed or neutered/altered.

When the listing said it has been altered, it has been spayed or neutered depending on the sex of the animal.

Yes, if it is a male its testicles have been remove and if it is a female its ovaries have been removed. Most shelters will not release a dog that can still reproduce to prevent unwanted puppies.

Yes it means the dog has been neutered; it can't breed.
