Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Jada was found with her puppy, Willow, in an industrial area near Oakland, CA. Both were underweight, starved for food and attention, sick from parasites and exposure, and even sprayed by a skunk. They had recently had their ears cropped, an especially cruel experience for an adult dog, like Jada. Jada was especially tired and weary of strangers, from caring for Willow.
Though DC Dogos initially intended to place Jada and Willow as a bonded pair, several weeks of evaluation and decompression revealed a need for Jada and Willow to start new, separate journeys, so they both can have their best chance.
Jada has come to love and trust her foster family quickly. She is playful with her male dogo foster brother and affectionate toward her foster family. She enjoys cuddling, playing with toys, and lounging on the furniture. However, she has demonstrated stress, fear, and protective reactions to unfamiliar people and places, especially around Willow. These behaviors likely stem from suspected past abuse and from having to protect Willow during their time on the loose. Jada is currently working on learning to develop trust, confidence and basic obedience with her loving foster family.
Jada will do best in an adult-only, low-stress home, with a consistent routine and few strange visitors. Jada is a mama's girl at heart but she would also appreciate a kind, loving, gentle dad. Her ideal "fur"-ever family will be committed to continuing her training--consistent and firm in establishing expectations for Jada but very patient and affectionate. Jada would love a fenced yard, with an easygoing male canine friend and a soft dog bed for naps.
We welcome applications for Jada, but please be patient as we work on Jada's training. Preference will be given to adopters local to Arizona and able to attend a meet and greet prior to adoption.
