Jamaica

My story

Hi everyone, my name is Jamaica, and my foster mom wants to tell you all about me! I have lived with my foster family for the past few weeks, and let me tell you, I am really enjoying family life and all the comforts of a home. I had a rough start, but I am thoroughly enjoying regular meals, dog beds, and lots of couch snuggles. I am potty trained, crate trained, and do fairly well on a leash, however, I could use some pointers on not pulling so hard...but can you blame me, I'm just so excited to be out with my people! I can be a pretty vocal dog when I first go in my crate, but I usually settle down after a minute. My foster family has a senior female dog, and while I would love to run and play with her, I do a really good job of reading her body language and recognizing when she wants to play and when she needs a break. I would do great with another dog in the home, or as a solo dog. There are two cats in my foster home as well, and with slow, repeated introductions and supervision, I have done really well with them. Basically, I am just a goofy pup who wants to play with anyone who is interested. My foster family is not sure how I would do with smaller animals, I don't necessarily have a high prey drive, but I am fairly curious about outside critters. My foster family has two elementary age boys, and I quickly learned that I love children! I do need occasional redirection to not jump on them, but as you can see from the pictures, I genuinely love them and just want to be with them. I would do well with most home environments, whether it's a single person or a whole family, other pets or me as the solo four-legged companion. A fenced in yard would be amazing but not mandatory...its definitely nice when I get a case of the zoomies. Apartment life might not be the best fit for me as I can be vocal at times, but that's because I have a lot to say. I have so much love to give that my whole-body wiggles with excitement when I see people! Ask to meet me today, I can't wait to find my new home!
