Meet jewel!
Jewel is a spunky jack russel terrier mix around 2.5 to 3 years old pulled from Elk Grove Animal Shelter. She has been waiting for her forever fam for quite some time now. Jewel is house trained and leash trained, is fine being left alone, and non-destructive. She just waits in her favorite spots until her loved ones get home. She has moderate energy with entertaining bursts of energy!
Jewel is a quirky and sweet girl who just wants to be understood by her future fam. Jewel loves being with her people (her foster fam), ripping the stuffing out of toys, treats, playing with her dog foster sis, and going for walks where she can smell all the smells. Jewel is very treat motivated and has an impressive list of tricks including sit, wait, off, leave it, drop it, and shake!
Jewel does not like strangers, especially when they come into her safe space (home). She also avoids them out in public and her fosters make sure she does not have to interact with any!
Jewel lives successfully with another dog, but needs slow intros when meeting new ones as she can be pushy with them. An adult home would be best for Jewel as she can get scared by sudden movements.
We are looking for an adopter(s) who understand that Jewel takes time to come out of her shell. Once you have her hard-earned trust, she will be your loyal and loving companion. Adopters will need to commit to not rushing interactions or putting her in stressful situations as she decompresses and adjusts.
Jewel’s Adoption Donation is SPONSORED! Includes - spayed rabies dhpp bordatella and chipped.
