Story
Jazzman is a 2.5 year old, 40lb, Great Pyrenees/Lab mix looking for a family that has a secure above ground fenced yard (as she is considered a flight risk, and needs a safe space to go outside) and who is going to be committed to having the time and patience to help her through her insecurities and fears. Jazzman was surrendered to GRRAND in not good health, and very unsocialized.
We have a new update from Aug 25: Jazzy has been in the GRRAND program for 14 months and she's a little over 2 years old, so she's been in our kennel over half her life!! HOW SAD for Jazzman! First she moved to the GCS location where we have volunteers skilled in working with shy, unsocialized dogs, and she is now in a foster home and we are told:
"Jazzy has acclimated so well and she has been my little shadow from day one. She is timid when meeting people for the first time but bringing treats will help butter her up. She loves to lounge on the couch, bed, or her many dog beds. She is also great at playing fetch in the backyard. She has such a silly personality and will paw you if you stop petting her and she isn't ready for that to end yet.
She is great about letting me know when she has to go outside to go potty. She loves to sit on the landing at the top of my stairs and look out the door at people passing by. Jazzy is an unbelievably sweet girl with so much love to give.
Jazzy sleeps in bed or on the couch every night and has free run of the house when no one is home. This good girl doesn’t tear up toys, and even has a few favorite stuffed toys. You need to keep things from the edge of the counter, becuase she does do a little counter surfing, but it is easy to control. She still needs some training as she jumps a little on her humans. She loves going for walks and does really well on a leash but will pull when she sees other dogs. And most importantly, Butt scratches are her favorite!
Jazzman is the sweetest, happiest girl once she gets to know you! She adores being outside with her ball and she also LOVES having her butt scratched. Jazzy has thrived in her new environment and has come such a long way. She happily takes treats from the team, and runs to her favorite people to be petted. She's great around other dogs and is out with seven other dogs in a play yard, daily. She would benefit from another confident and stable dog in her new home to help her with her insecurities and fears and to help show her the ropes and patience from her new family to help her adjust to yet another new place, but in the end, once she comes out of her shell, it is so rewarding to see her thrive!
We often have Jazzy in the office where she'll just follow you around, looking for love! She will walk on a slip leash within the kennel grounds, but we're still working on getting her comfortable to go for walks outside the kennel.
If you would like to meet Jazzy, and be the last place she will get moved around to, please fill out an app at GRRAND.org
