Jingle came into our rescue as a breeder release, a young adult with a long life ahead of her. 

When Jingle arrived in her foster home, she was quite reserved, confused, and wasn't sure if this was a good thing or not. Boy, has she changed, she has flourished & bloomed! Once so scared, she willingly goes to her foster mom & seeks companionship & cuddles from her. 

She will do best in a calm, low activity home. A home that is willing to patiently allow her to adjust & get used to her forever environment.  Going into a new home will be another change for Jingle, but she is very brave & we know that she will successfully make the transition if given a chance.  

In her foster home, she has proven to be 100% house trained. We are so proud of her. With that said, her new family must understand she could have a few accidents until she gets her new routine down. Please be prepared to give her ample opportunity for success, praise her when she does it right, & be patient with her. 

Jingle has proven to be such a good girl that she sleeps in bed with her foster mom and the other four legged friends.  She also has access to the house when her foster mom and dad leave.  So no need for a kennel.  Actually, because of Jingle's past, she should never be in one in her future.

We have given Jingle space to decompress & get used to being a pet. We have not pushed the issue of leash training. We do not know if that is something she would enjoy in the future or not. Therefore, for her safety (& for her to be able to do her potty business immediately upon adoption), a secure physical fence yard is required.  An aluminum or slat type of fencing will need a gap filler around the bottom half so she can't get through, something like galvanized wire mesh or another sturdy material.   She isn't an outdoor adventure dog; she doesn't need a big yard.  But she does need a very secure area to do her potty business. Never EVER should she be left in the yard alone. 

Jingle is the type of dog that becomes your BFF. Your movie-watching, couch lounging, hanging out, reliable friend.  We look forward to matching Jingle with her forever family soon!
