Jewel

My name is Jewel, and I'm a beautiful 6-year-old girl who is looking for my forever home. I came to SIRA after the commercial breeding facility where I lived closed. I'm so glad that hard life is behind me! When I first came to my foster home, I was very scared as I had never been outside of the breeding facility. My biggest comfort is the other dogs here; they help me feel safe. Foster mom says I'm a very good girl – a perfect little Jewel! I never make any noise or trouble. I don't bother the cats in my foster home, and I'm fine on my own when my foster family goes out.

Honestly, I prefer when the humans aren't around because the people where I used to live were not nice, and it's hard for me to trust. But I do like it here! There is a big fenced yard where I play with the other dogs. I've started to chase them, and when the humans aren't looking, I'll relax and act silly.

Ideal Home

My perfect forever home will need to be patient and understanding, as I may never be an affectionate or trusting dog. I'm truly happy when I'm with other dogs and will need at least one nice dog to be my friend and help me feel safe. I'll also need a securely fenced yard. A quiet adults-only home with no shared walls will be best for me, as children scare me too much. Experience with shy/fearful dogs will be helpful, and my forever family will need to guard against escapes and door bolting.

Ongoing Health

I'm a healthy girl, weighing 28 lbs. I am spayed and vaccinated. During my spay surgery, I had a bad reaction to the anesthesia, and the vet recommends no future anesthesia if possible.

Training & Support

Foster mom has tried and tried to get me to walk on a leash, but I just freeze.
