Meet Jami! After months as a stray, surviving on the kindness of neighbors who slowly earned her trust, she is now safe, loved, and ready to find a forever home of her own. Jami is a petite pittie mix at just 35 pounds, full of personality, affection, and a strong desire to bond with her people. Once she feels comfortable, she becomes deeply devoted and loves to snuggle as close as possible. She is potty trained, kennel trained, rides well in the car, and walks nicely on leash. She has done well with dogs and older children who respect her space, and she has shown no signs of resource guarding with food or toys.
Ideal Home
Jami would do best with an adopter who understands her need for a slower introduction process and is committed to providing structure, leadership, and reassurance. A home with another confident, well-balanced dog would be ideal to help her feel more secure and continue building her confidence. A secure 6-foot fence is preferred, as she is athletic and capable of clearing shorter barriers.
Ongoing Health
Jami is a healthy girl with no known ongoing health issues.
Training & Support
Jami is a smart dog who knows commands and gains confidence by using them, especially when meeting new people. Because of her past, she can be fearful initially and may take time to warm up, sometimes showing "stranger danger." She can be reactive when behind barriers like a kennel, but this behavior improves with proper introductions and handling. As she becomes more comfortable, she can show some tendency to guard her people, so continued structure and guidance will be important to help her feel secure and make good choices. She has successfully built relationships with multiple caregivers over time, though she may need patience and consistency as she continues to grow her confidence.
