Jaz came to SSR from the pound, Jaz was in a terrible state - severely malnourished, bowed legs, cherry eye ect. Jaz has spent most of her life in kennels.
Current:
Jaz is currently in a foster home with one of our committee members, any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times in her foster home in the Scottish Borders.
Temperament:
Jaz is such a friendly and happy girl, she is such a character. Jaz is essentially an overgrown puppy, but with a heart of gold, she is so funny and always makes us laugh. Once she trusts you she is so loving and happy. Jaz loves the garden and will spend all day out there if she can, she loves being outside sunbathing and playing with her toys.
Jaz is very playful and is 100 miles an hour, she loves playing with toys (she goes through many toys!). Jaz will need a home who will provide mental and physical stimulation for her, but also showing her when to be calm and when to rest. Jaz is mischievous and likes to steal shoes/slippers/bedding ect and will destroy them, so will need a home who isn't precious but also work with her on redirecting that. Jaz has been left for a few hours and has been good, she has settled down in the kitchen and will have a sleep, play with her toys and eat her chew.
Jaz is wary of strangers and any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times to build up a bond with her. Jaz has missed the crucial puppy stage learning and can get over aroused, resulting in jumping and mouthing. Jaz's foster home are working on redirection and impulse control, but this will need to continue in any home, she is doing really well and is settling down and controlling herself much better.
Jaz is currently living with 2 dogs, but is kept separate in the house with stair gates. Jaz goes on walks with them and she isn't phased by them and will happily walk with dogs once she gets to know them, but Jaz would be best suited to a pet free home, so all the attention is on her and she can learn to settle without other distractions. We know there is a special home out there for Jaz who will commit to her and were she will truly blossom.
Health:
Jaz is in good health, she does have bowed legs due to malnourishment as a puppy, but this doesn't cause Jaz any issues.
Walking:
Jaz loves her walks, she loves being out and is currently in a quiet area were she can be on a long lead on the fields.
Jaz also loves going to the secure field and chasing her ball.
Jaz can become overexcited when getting ready for a walk and can lead rag, but this is decreasing the more she settles.
Travelling:
Jaz is fine travelling.
Ideal Home:
Secure garden. Experienced dog owner. Time and patience, who will work with Jaz and set firm boundaries. Quiet area with visitors being rare. Pet free home.
