About Jewel

Jewel is a wonderful testament to the power of rescue efforts. This affectionate girl thrives on cuddles, tasty treats, and plenty of attention. At 2 years old, she's been a model resident in her kennel, keeping it clean and tidy while waiting for her forever home. Jewel gets along with other dogs, making friends easily. However, she’s a bit timid around cats, so a feline-free home would suit her best. In her foster environment, she demonstrated her gentle nature, bonding well with her foster's grandchildren aged 8 and 9. The younger 4-year-old was a bit too energetic for her, though. Jewel’s journey to Vermont is heartwarming; she narrowly escaped a dire situation in the south where her heartworm positive status made it difficult for her to find a home. Now that her past is behind her, she’s ready to look ahead to a brighter future. If you're in Vermont and can help Jewel with her vet visits in Rutland, she'd love a chance at a happy life.
