Introducing the lovely Jewel, a dazzling 6-year-old who is on a journey to find her forever home! 🌟 Jewel’s story begins at a commercial breeding facility that has closed its doors, freeing her from a past that now belongs to a distant memory. Can you imagine how brave she is? When Jewel first arrived at her foster home in Jonesburg, MO, life was a whirlwind of new experiences, and she was understandably a bit scared. But just like a gem, she has started to shine! ✨ This sweet girl has found comfort in her furry companions. Other dogs truly help her blossom and, believe it or not, she is becoming quite the playful spirit! Although she’ll likely never be the most affectionate pup, Jewel is known to relax and sometimes even act a little silly in the big, fenced yard while chasing her newfound friends. 🐾 Now let’s talk about her health! Jewel is a healthy 28 lbs, spayed, and vaccinated. However, during her spay surgery, she had a bit of a rough time reacting to anesthesia, so her vet advises avoiding future anesthesia whenever possible. This means that Jewel's forever home will require some patience and understanding, especially considering that she may take time to learn to trust again after her rocky start. Jewel is a bit of a quiet soul and would thrive in a serene adults-only home (no shared walls, please!). 💙 Her heart warms to the presence of another nice dog who can be her buddy as she navigates her new life. And while Jewel may initially be hesitant on a leash and prefers to take her time, her ideal environment will include a securely fenced yard – it’s her little sanctuary! So if you’re in the Midwest and ready to open your heart and home to Jewel, please know she’s looking for someone with experience in caring for shy and fearful dogs. No kiddos, please; they frighten her! 🌈 Are you ready to make a difference in Jewel’s life? You can apply through the Buddy App to help her find the love she truly deserves! Let’s get Jewel to her forever home where she can truly shine! --- Location: Jewel is currently with her wonderful foster family and waiting for YOU! Judging by her journey, every second counts in helping this special girl feel safe and adored again!
