About Jolene

Meet Jolene—a little shy, a bit silly, and a whole lot sweet. Jolene is a 4-5-year-old Boston Terrier on a quest for that special someone to call her own. She spent time as a puppy mill mama and faced challenges that led her to hang around a church before she finally found safety. While her past is a mystery, one thing is certain: she deserves a happy ending. This gentle girl can be skittish around new people and will need a patient touch to feel safe. Once she warms up, expect adorable moments where she'll sneak over for pets and affection—each trust-building step is a precious victory. However, Jolene may not be ideal for homes with young children, as she appreciates her space and needs supervision during visits. She absolutely loves other dogs and they bring out her best side. Housetraining is a work in progress, and given her background, occasional accidents might happen. Jolene needs a kind-hearted home where she can flourish at her own pace. With time, understanding, and a sense of security, this little girl will reveal just how much love is waiting to be shared behind her worried eyes. Could you be the one to offer Jolene the love and safety she craves?
