Jovie

Jovie is a happy, energetic girl! Don't let her age fool you - she still has plenty of play left in her. Her ideal home will be one where she gets to be the shining star! Bring this sweetheart home today! She's also very smart and knows how to sit and shake. Her foster says "Jovie is a sweet, and affectionate girl and has no problem warming up to new people! She tends to be a benchwarmer and likes chilling but has her playful moments. She is incredibly smart, well-trained, and understands boundaries. I haven't had any issues as far as damage to personal property, leaving her alone, bathroom use, or getting into things she shouldn't. Jovie does best when she has some time outside on walks, yard time, or is provided some level of stimulation day-to-day, with toys, puzzles etc. As a shepherd mix she's excitable when on walks so until trust is earned she would do best on a harness lead. Once trust is earned both ways she recalls well, when other animals are not around. I'm unsure how Jovie would do with a cat, and a very slow introduction would be necessary. Jovie is on anti-anxiety medications and does best when they are taken regularly. She should not be in a home with other dogs and does best when other dogs are avoided on walks. Jovie is a sweetheart, enjoys cuddles, and wants to be near her people as much as possible! -- Volunteers say "I had Jovie for two dog walking shifts this week, and she did great! She was the sweetest dog, and did great with me and any other people we passed on our walks. She was reactive to other animals and needed to keep a distance from any passing dogs, but her leash walking skills were great besides that!" "Jovie and I walked around campus and hung out at home today. She is very energetic and would do best in a single dog home where she is the center of attention! Jovie did great in the car and was very excited to see people when we passed them, seemed like she just wanted to go up and say hi."
