About Jamie

Jamie is a sweet girl who may be shy at first but warms up quickly to those around her. Full of life and character, she adores other dogs and has fun, age-appropriate energy. Jamie enjoys playtime but also appreciates a good snuggle when settling in. At around 2-3 years old and weighing about 12-14 lbs, she isn't a heavy barker and strikes a lovely balance between playful and calm. Found as a stray without a microchip, Jamie came to us from a high-kill shelter, and it’s evident she has experienced some hardships. Tragically, her right eye is missing, likely due to her time on the streets, but this doesn’t diminish her spark. We've ensured that she doesn’t require extensive care for her eye. Jamie is potty trained in her current setting and is learning to walk on a leash. She enjoys toys, treats, and cuddling on her dog bed; you might even find her relaxing in the yard. This little spitfire will make a wonderful companion and a great car ride buddy for her future family. Ready to add a delightful addition to your life? What are you waiting for? Apply today!
