About Jean
  • Status: Adopted!
  • Adoption Fee: 425.00
  • Species: Dog
  • Current Age: 9 Years 10 Months (best estimate)
Jean is a sweet timid girl who just wants to be near people. She has been in rescue for a very short time and was rescued from the life of a puppy mill breeder so she is timid and learning the norms each day. She follows her foster family around throughout the entire house. She currently is more attached to the male in the household but he is the primary caregiver, 
 
Likes: being let back in the house. She's had enough of living outside
 
Dislikes: Dentasticks It's the only dog treat we've tried so far
 
Personality: so sweet and still very unsure of how her life has changed
 
Temperament: Jean seems very laid back. Her foster family has yet to see her get excited for more than a second or two
 
Energy level: Low She enjoys a walk to the barn just as much as she enjoys sleeping in the living room. She likes playing with the Kong, too
 
Good with: dogs large, small and in groups, cats both inside and outside, small children
 
Not good with: she's a little put off by hugs or anything other than a hand up around her face
 
House trained: Currently, the foster home is working on this, with growing up in a cage and never in a home she doesn't understand. She is quickly learning the right and wrong though.
 
Crate trained: Foster family is currently working on
 
Challenges or medical issues: none
 
Jean would fit into most homes as long as they understand the need for slow introductions, and going slow with her. She is just now seeing life from a different spectrum and everyone in the household will need to go slower than normal with her. 

Fostered in Degraff, OH.
