About Jamaica

Jamaica is about two years old, 45 pounds, and full of energy. She’s a social and affectionate girl who bonds closely to her people and wants to join an active family that sees the world as a playground. Jamaica’s path here wasn’t easy—she survived losing her way and being hit by a car, but dedicated folks got her through surgery and rehab, and now she’s thriving with no lingering issues. If you see your family camping, hiking, or just moving and exploring together, Jamaica is your kind of companion. She’s clearly a working-breed mix who needs daily activity and mental stimulation—being a couch potato simply isn’t in the cards. She’s house trained, crate trained, does well on leash, and already knows her basic commands. Athletic outings, agility classes, or regular adventures will keep her happiest. Jamaica fits best with adults or families with older kids, since she hasn’t been around young children before. She enjoys the company of other dogs, but cats aren’t a match for her. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped, and she’s ready to jump into her next big adventure. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
