Meet Jackie (Formerly Paloma) - A Second Chance at Forever Some dogs get a second chance at life. Jackie is hoping for a second chance at love. Jackie thought she'd found her forever family. Unfortunately, things didn't work out, and she ended up at the Corona Animal Shelter. When we learned where she was, we went straight to get her. And you know what happened when we brought her home? She remembered EVERYTHING. Her doggie friends, her brother, our cats, her kennel, and the routines she'd learned before adoption. It was as though she'd never left. Now Jackie is ready to find a family who will love her for the wonderful, goofy, affectionate girl she is. A Big Puppy With an Even Bigger PersonalityJackie is tall, slender, and a little slinky, with long legs and the playful personality of a puppy who is still discovering the world. She spent the first seven months of her life living in an enclosure, missing out on many of the everyday experiences that help puppies learn and mature. So while she may look like a grown dog, Jackie is still very much a puppy mentally. She's curious, playful, affectionate, and sometimes a little goofy! One of her funniest quirks? When she's excited and playing, she likes to snap her jaws together, making a little clicking sound. It's part of her silly play style, but it also means she needs a family who understands puppy behavior and will continue teaching her appropriate play manners. Jackie is comfortable around young children, but because she plays enthusiastically with other dogs and sometimes uses her mouth, we believe a home with older, dog-savvy children would be the better fit. Little ones could accidentally get nipped if they wandered into the middle of an energetic wrestling match. She's Already Learned So Much!Here's what makes Jackie especially wonderful: despite her difficult start, she's already developed some excellent habits. Potty trained and kennel trained Dog friendly with dogs of all sizes Cat friendly with cats of all sizes Walks nicely on a leash Does great on car rides Knows sit and stay Patiently waits for her meals and treats Loves toys, chew toys, and playing with other dogs Affectionate and enjoys being part of the family Jackie is smart, eager to learn, and already has a great foundation. She just needs someone willing to continue helping her grow. What Kind of Home Does Jackie Need?Jackie would thrive with a family who appreciates an active, playful dog and understands that puppyhood isn't determined by size. She'd love a home with another friendly dog to play with, people who will include her in everyday activities, and plenty of opportunities to explore, learn, and burn off that puppy energy. Most importantly, she needs patience, consistency, and a family committed to her for life. Jackie doesn't need someone to start from scratch. She's already learned how to live in a home, respect routines, and coexist beautifully with dogs and cats. What she needs now is the opportunity to keep learning, maturing, and becoming the incredible companion we know she can be. Will You Be the Family Who Finally Chooses Her for Good?Jackie has already experienced what it's like to lose a home. We don't want her to experience that again. She's funny, affectionate, intelligent, playful, and full of potential. She may need a little extra guidance as she catches up on the puppyhood she missed, but she has so much love to give. She doesn't need a perfect family. She needs the right family. One that understands she's still learning and won't give up on her.
