Jasmine

My story

Jasmine LOVES all humans including children if all ages. Jasmine first came to us in 2015 as an 6-month-old puppy. I was volunteering at a shelter evaluating dogs for other rescues to pull. When Jasmine instantly caught my attention. She was sad and depressed and her eyes showed that she had given up. She wasn't even on my list to evaluate. I had decided right away I was taking Jasmine with me and literally had to peel her off the concrete floor. Jasmine has been adopted or had a trial adoptions 9 different times. Each time she was returned through no fault of her own. Once she was attacked by the other dog in the home, and other times she was victim to breed stereotyping and returned due to HOA demanding or pressure from the family to give up a “vicious dog”. Other times it was due to unforeseen medical issues arising in her family (not Jasmine’s health, but within the family that adopted her) and she was returned because they could no longer care for or focus on her properly. This time, after 4 years, she is returning to no fault of her own. It’s no surprise the past 2 years have been brutal for many and sadly Jasmine’s mom hit hard times and lost it all. Even while homeless bouncing from motel to motel and couch surfing with friends and family. Trying to keep her family intact. This affected Jasmine as she's a creature of habit. She has done everything she can to keep Jasmine, but the inconsistency of a home is taking its toll on not only Jasmine’s mom but Jasmine as well. It wasn’t an easy decision, but ultimately it was determined best for Jasmine that she return to AHS. Jasmine is heartbroken and needs time to decompress. She sadly also has a few health issues we need to get straightened out, including the fact she is heartworm positive. Jasmine is an amazing dog who loves children. She is a vocal girl who will tell you what she is thinking and has a sound for each of her thoughts. She is only 8 years old. Keeping her is not possible or fair as her emotional need is prominent. She is good with cats and dogs but lately, she's been struggling. She loves children and all humans immediately. You can feel the love from the moment you meet her. We won't give up on her. Please give her a chance. You won't be disappointed. Updated: 3/25/2023 www.animalhousesanctuary.org We believe training is an ongoing process that needs to be worked on daily. New issues that arise, need to be addressed and/or rewarded. Understanding that continued training is a lifetime commitment, is very important.
