About Jade

Jade is a friendly and playful girl who enjoys games of chase, cuddly plush toys, and treats of all kinds. She's house and crate trained and has lived with children as young as 12 and a cat. While she thrives in friendly environments, she can feel uneasy around small dogs and is fearful of larger ones. This means slow introductions will be crucial; ideally, she should find a home without big dogs. If there are other small dogs, she will need plenty of time to adjust.
