This 11 pound sweet girl has been nothing but a blessing to her foster family.  Known to her foster family as “Jazz,” this lovable fur ball is fitting in and falling in line with her other doggie siblings, Rusty, Krispy, and Aspen.  Jazz takes direction well and seems to want to please all three. Both Jazz and Krispy have bonded by riling each other up, and Krispy has accepted the duty of teaching her about the perks of living in a doggie friendly home: all the balls, Frisbees, and antlers she can dream of. While eating dinner, foster mom told Rusty to lie down and Jazz, wanting to be just like her big brother, plopped down next to him.

Though she exhibits typical puppy behavior (jumping, chewing, digging, etc.), she accepts re-direction and minds her manners.  Foster mom says “she isn’t a heavy chewer on things that she shouldn’t.  She tries to chew on metal chair legs, but we give her an antler or chew toy which works to redirect.”

As with all young pups, the first few months and even year can be quite trying, but Jazz catches on quickly.  The first night in her crate, Jazz yelped and cried, but then her foster family discovered after placing her dad’s shoe in her crate, she curled up and slept soundly. In fact, she’s only had a couple of accidents in the house. She sits to be fed and to go outside—after asking her to do so only once.

At her foster home, Jazz is constantly exposed to new experiences.  She enjoys her baths and is learning to retrieve.  She followed Saylor her bunny brother into the bushes and then he lunged at her.  Screaming all the way, Jazz hightailed it back to her mom’s heels.  Jazz has exhibited a bit of food guarding, but her foster family is working on this.

Foster mom reports because she learns quickly and because she is such a young girl, Jazz will need a home that keeps her active and involved.  But any family would be lucky to have Jazz as their new companion.
