About Jade

Jade is a striking, sweet-natured mama who came to the shelter with her two boys, Jake and Jack-Jack, after her owner could no longer care for them. She’s about four years old and weighs around 58 pounds, with a short, gray and white coat that catches your eye in person more than any photo ever could. Strong on leash, Jade will need some help with house training since she’s lived outdoors most of her life. Treats are the way to her heart—she’s eager to learn if you guide her. She’ll be spayed and microchipped before heading home, and her heartworm test came back negative, so she’s off to a healthy start. Her background with children or other pets isn’t known, but you’re welcome to bring any resident pets for a meet and greet at the shelter to see if everyone gets along.
