About Jamie

Jamie is a sweet girl who may be a bit shy at first, but she warms up quickly and adores other dogs. With a playful spirit, she has just the right amount of energy and isn't much of a barker. Jamie is roughly 2-3 years old and weighs around 12-14 lbs. She was found as a stray without a microchip and ended up in a high-kill shelter, so we were thrilled to bring this deserving girl into rescue. It's evident that Jamie has faced some hardships; she lost her right eye before joining us, possibly while she was roaming as a stray. Fortunately, she doesn't require extensive care for it now that we’ve taken care of her. Jamie thrives on love and attention, and she has a fun, quirky energy that shines through. She's great with other dogs in her foster home and all the people she meets. Jamie enjoys being around others, but she's also fine being left alone in her crate while her foster works. She's house trained, working well on a leash, and loves toys and treats. Whether lounging in the yard or embarking on adventures, Jamie is ready to be a wonderful companion and a great car ride buddy. She’s spayed, up to date on vaccines, and microchipped, making her all set for her new home. This could be the start of something paw-some.
