About Jade

Jade is a mellow sweetheart who thrives on affection and exploration. She loves sniffing around, taking leisurely walks, and enjoys a good cuddle session. While Jade isn't much for playing with toys or treats, her gentle nature shines through, especially during petting and brushing. At the shelter, she's more of an independent explorer but will likely open up once she’s in a calm home environment. Although Jade can be a bit stressed by loud or busy children, she's fine with calm and polite kids, making a mature home the best fit for her. Jade has also done well with like-minded dogs, so she may enjoy having a furry friend around. She does need an understanding veterinarian, as she struggles with medical handling, particularly with needles. Jade is spayed and ready for a loving home where she can truly blossom. This sweet girl qualifies for our 7-day Foster-to-Adopt program, giving you the chance to see if she's the perfect match for you. Ready to welcome Jade into your home?
