Here's what the humans have to say about me:
MEET JEDI: Jedi is a sweet girl who would love a home of her own. Jedi does have her own super powers, just like her name suggests! Try not to look into her eyes for too long, she has power to melt your heart! Jedi does like other dogs, but proper introductions are a must! Jedi can be a little insecure at times, but once she figures out that she is safe and loved, she blossoms into a goofy love bug! Jedi has a famous happy dance that she would love to show her new human. Jedi also comes with some clicker training, which she really excels at! She is so smart and really wants to please. Jedi is still a relatively young senior and has plenty of energy still. She does well on walks and is great in the car. She loves to roll in the grass and explore. Don’t let her age fool you. She loves to play with toys! She also loves to snuggle under blankets and prefers to sleep next to her favorite person at night. Although she lived in a foster home with larger dogs, she is feisty towards them. It would be best for her to be in a home with smaller dogs. She would probably do best in a cat free home, with older children who understand how to give her space. Jedi also knows how to use the dog door!
Once Jedi is confident that she is in a safe home, she will be loyal to the people around her. It will take time for her to adjust to men, but as long as positive reinforcement is given (LOTS OF TREATS), she will do great with men. Due to her initial nervous behavior, she can only be around older children that are dog savvy (12 years or older) Dog savvy meaning they will not push boundaries and allow Jedi as much space as possible until she is ready for the next step of endless love.
Jedi is at least 10 years and is a chihuahua mix (maybe doxie, too). She is a cautious girl that needs time to settle in and get to know her people. Once she knows you, she is just an absolute LOVE! Please spread the word! I know the perfect home is out there for this girl!
From Jedi's foster mom "Jedi loves kids but I would suggest older kids who are respectful and will also give her space. She loves other dogs but does have some dominating type behaviors, that could possibly trigger some dogs. I have 6 cats and she will bark at them and get nippy if not properly supervised. The good thing is that she re-directs wonderfully, so I think given the proper amount of time and training, she could learn to live with non-reactive cats and dogs. she also does tend to show a little hesitance towards men, but will warm up over time. She really will need someone who can be patient and understand that she is still trying to learn social cues and boundaries. she really wants to play with other dogs, but does not get the hint when they do not want to play with her. Jedi is a total snuggler & gives the best kisses! She lives to lay on the couch with her human. We are working on teaching her boundaries, proper social interactions, and the "leave it" command. She has learned how to use the dog door."
