Her goofy grin, charmingly wobbly trot, and unending enthusiasm for belly rubs promise to brighten every day and remind you of the joys of unconditional love. Jill can be a bit wary of car rides, having had a tough experience in her past after being thrown from a moving vehicle. She’s looking for a family who will make her feel safe in every journey ahead. Jill’s playful energy is best matched with dogs her size or larger, and she thrives especially well with children aged 8 and up.
