Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Are you looking for an adorable, quiet, low-maintenance dog that would be equally happy to keep you company indoors at home and on brisk walks in quiet woods a few times a week? Jazzy is the perfect companion for you!
Jazzy immediately wins the hearts of strangers with her friendly, outgoing spirit and striking looks. She’s a beautiful 3-year-old, 37 lb. Aussie mix. She is independent, extremely well-behaved, and fully housebroken. She is also very smart and knows a range of commands (check out that video below). Jazzy is a little cautious around other dogs, especially energetic ones, and likes to be the center of attention with her humans so she should be the only dog in her forever home.
Jazzy is a very special dog. She was treated for two tick-borne illnesses and has some permanent musculoskeletal issues that she was probably born with. She has a signature “twist” to her posture and an off-kilter gait. She is a bit anxious around moving vehicles so her happy places are indoors and in the tranquility of nature. Jazzy is being treated for her anxiety and joint health with medicine. This sweetie pie does need to be lifted in and out of cars but can get herself up and down flights of stairs (padding or carpeting helps) and happily navigates moderately strenuous hikes despite her issues (check out that video below too)!
She may never jump in the air to catch a frisbee, but she will greet you excitedly and shower you with hugs and kisses when you get home and sleep contentedly at your feet. Jazzy would love it if you could give her a peaceful life with plenty of time in the country where she can flourish!
Thank you so much for your interest in adopting a dog from A New Chance Animal Rescue (https://anewchancear.org). We are a 501c3, tax deductible organization. ANCAR is a foster-based rescue, and we adopt within a 90 mile radius of Bedford Hills, NY. You will find the adoption application here: (https://anewchancear.org/adopt/adoption-application/). All fields on the application must be completed. Please read about the adoption process (https://www.anewchancear.org/adopt/our-adoption-process/) so you'll know what to expect when you submit.
Our dogs are in foster care and we do NOT have a shelter or boarding facility. AN APPLICATION MUST BE COMPLETED IN FULL AND APPROVED BEFORE A DOG CAN BE MET. This is a firm policy. Our busy volunteers are not able to respond to questions about the dog or dog meeting requests in the absence of an application. We know these dogs very well because they are in foster care. Please read the profiles of the dog(s) you are interested in prior to submitting an application. If there are specific requirements stated (ie: Fenced Yard or Canine Friend Required) these are included because they are vital to the happiness, health, safety and adoption success of that dog.
We are only able to save as many dogs as we have foster homes (https://www.anewchancear.org/foster/faqs/) and resources for. We provide medical care including vaccinations, testing, deworming, spaying/neutering and microchipping before transporting our dogs. We provide all supplies, preventatives and any follow up vet care necessary while they are in foster care. These costs are high and the number of lives we can save is entirely dependent upon donations from people like you. We do not receive funding from private foundations or government sources. If you can find room in your heart to help us, with any amount, we are truly grateful (https://www.anewchancear.org/help/donate/). We are a 501c3 organization, so all donations are tax-deductible. It is only through the kindness of supporters like you that we are 'changing lives...one tail at a time' by providing our dogs with 'A New Chance.' (https://anewchancear.org)
