Jaz came to SSR from the pound, Jaz was in a terrible state - severely malnourished, bowed legs, cherry eye ect. Jaz has spent most of her life in kennels.
Jaz is currently in a foster home with one of our committee members, any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times in her foster home (about 40 minutes from Edinburgh).
We are looking for a forever foster home for Jaz, this means we will pay for any medical needs and behaviourist support for Jaz.
Jaz will require a very special home who will be patient and take there time with her. Jaz is wary of strangers and any potential home would need to meet Jaz numerous times to build up a bond with her. Jaz has missed the crucial puppy stage learning and really does try to get things right and please us yet her urges often get the better of her. When over aroused, Jaz will nip and mouth quite hard Jaz's foster home are working on redirection and impulse control, but this will need to continue in any home, Jaz will regress when she moves.
Jaz will need a quiet home with not many visitors, stair gates ect would need to be used, due to Jaz's wariness of strangers. Jaz is currently living with 2 dogs, but is kept separate in the house with stair gates. Jaz goes on walks with them and she doesn't seem phased by them but Jaz can become jealous and really bonds with people, so would be best suited to a pet free home. A pet free home would best suit Jaz so all the attention is on her and she can learn to settle without other distractions.
Jaz is very playful and is 100 miles an hour, she loves playing with toys (she goes through many toys!). Jaz will need a home who will provide mental and physical stimulation for her, but also showing her when to be calm and when to rest, this is being worked on in the home and she is starting to take herself away for a rest. Jaz is mischievous and likes to steal shoes/slippers/bedding ect and will destroy them, so will need a home who isn't precious but also work with her on redirecting that. Jaz has been left for a few hours and has been good, she has settled down in the kitchen and will have a sleep, play with her toys and eat her chew, when left for a period of time she does become hyper on your return. Jaz will suit somebody that is home a lot.
Jaz is essentially an overgrown puppy, but with a heart of gold, she is so funny and always makes us laugh. Once she trusts you she is so loving and happy. Jaz loves the garden and will spend all day out there if she can, she loves being outside sunbathing and playing with her toys.
We know there is a special home out there for Jaz who will commit to her and were she will truly blossom.
Jaz is in good health, she does have bowed legs due to malnourishment as a puppy, but this doesn't cause Jaz any issues.
Jaz loves her walks, she loves being out and is currently in a quiet area were she can be on a long lead on the fields. If Jaz becomes over stimulated on a walk she can mouth/jump up/rag lead. This is being worked on, we are seeing a huge difference in her, Jaz has also been accepting her harness on without much fuss.
Jaz is fine travelling.
Secure garden.
Experienced dog owner.
Time and patience, who will work with Jaz and set firm boundaries.
Quiet area with visitors being rare.
Pet free home.
