Was/were

Hello

Would you please answer this question for me. It may seem silly, but it's driving me insane.

I am trying to write a sentence, and which is correct..

"I was in the amazon jungle, saw a wild dog, it smelled really bad, and there were all sorts of insects on its fur"

Is the 'were' correct here??

Thanks in advance. xx

Also I would add some connectors to make your text more cohesive, for example:
"I was in the Amazon jungle where I
