Sweet baby Jasmine was found in a crowded public pound in Louisiana with untreated skin issues. Due to her skin being in such rough shape, the shelter not having a vet on staff, and the fact that people aren't looking to adopt pups missing most of their hair, Jasmine was in danger of being put to sleep. A local rescue group swooped in and pulled her, and Jasmine has been healing and thriving in foster care ever since!
As of early September, Jasmine is 30lbs and 5 months old. She hasn't grown much taller in the 2+ months she has been in foster care. We think she may be some sort of low rider mix, like a Dachshund or Basset Hound mixed with a Labrador? Her hair loss was due to demodex (a non-contagious skin condition) which she has been treated for. Jasmine is almost fully healed with a beautiful, healthy new coat of hair! Her vet expects no lingering effects from her having demodex and she should look like a completely normal puppy soon! Jasmine's foster mom says, "One word to sum up Jasmine is SWEET! She loves toys - especially the kind that crinkle. She is doing very well with learning to potty outside. She sleeps through the whole night in her crate without a peep. She likes to sleep cuddled up with a stuffie (just check out her photo album). She likes to grab the leash in her mouth and lead the way on walks - she wants to walk you instead of you walking her. She has a tendency to jump up on you - we are working on that. She is an “observer” - if a neighbor walks out while we are outside, she just stops what she is doing and watches them - she also watches the TV and her reflection in the oven door. She gets the zoomies, but overall, she is pretty calm for a puppy her age. She loves spending time outside exploring. She is very quiet - she will whine to go outside to potty, but she rarely barks." Jasmine is good with other dogs, but is a little too interested in cats on her walks, so likely needs a cat-free home.
Ideal Home
Jasmine would do best in a home without cats.
Ongoing Health
Jasmine was treated for demodex, a non-contagious skin condition. Her vet expects no lingering effects and she is growing a healthy new coat of hair. Jasmine has had a full set of puppy vaccines, is 4DX negative for heartworm and tick-borne diseases, and is current on heartworm/flea/tick prevention and deworming. She will be spayed and microchipped in mid-September.
Training & Support
Jasmine has a tendency to jump up on people, and this is something her foster is working on. She is doing well with potty training and sleeps through the night in her crate.
