10/31/13 Jasmine
continues to do well in her foster home, although she still has anxiety when
left in the crate - so she would do best in a home where somebody is there a
lot. Jasmine loves to greet and kiss people at adoption events or
anywhere she goes. She is super friendly!! Jasmine is good with
other dogs, but likes to be the boss - so needs to be in a home with a very
submissive dog. She is very loveable and just needs a home that is
understanding of her fear of being left alone and will work with her.
The rewards of her companionship are well worth it!!

You
couldn't ask for a more devoted and loving dog as Jasmine! This is the
first time her foster home has ever fostered a deaf dog and reports you
would never really know she was deaf other than having to use signs instead
of your voice with her. This can actually be an advantage when you are
on the phone and want to communicate with Jasmine since the caller on the
other end will never even know you are talking to your dog. :-) Jasmine
LOVES to kiss, kiss, kiss everyone she meets!!! This girl is a true people
lover!!!
Jasmine is good with other dogs, but she does like to be the boss. In
her foster home she is best buddies with a 2 year old boxer girl who loves
to play with Jasmine. The foster mom also babysits a 10 month old Lab girl
that Jasmine also plays with. Jasmine gets along great with kids of all
ages, but could knock down a small child when she gets excited - so kids
over 5 years would probably be best for this reason. She does play
regularly with the foster mom's nephews, who are 3 and 5 years old.
They love Jasmine and come over specifically to play with her!
Jasmine's housebreaking has made huge strides. She rarely has an
accident anymore as long as she is given opportunity to go outside, since
she does not know how to ask you to take her out. She does not like to be
left alone and will still have accidents in her crate, but this has also
improved and her foster mom feels that given time, she will also stop doing
this as well. She just needs to know she is secure and safe and has nothing
to fear or worry about.
Jasmine is full of character - she is a hoot to watch playing with her
toys in the yard and she actually does quite well entertaining herself! She
is the best snuggler and will cuddle up to you on the couch and also loves
laying on a dog bed at her foster mom's feet while she is on the computer.
She, like any dog, is not perfect but she has soooo much to offer and she
is truly a very easy girl to fall in love with.
Sadly for Jasmine, her foster mom is getting ready to move and she
URGENTLY needs a new foster home. Her foster mom does not want her to go to
the boarding kennel, which may be the only option if a new foster is not
found. Her foster mom feels the boarding kennel will put all of Jasmine's
training backwards, especially since Jasmine will be so stressed in a kennel
situation. Therefore, her foster mom is hoping and praying for a
foster home or adopter to come forward for Jasmine as soon as possible.

Jasmine
came to AABR as a stray about a week and a half ago. She was deaf and very
thin. Upon arrival at her foster home, Jasmine was not housebroken and did
not know any signs to communicate. It almost seems as though she was never
really given the chance by her original owners and never had a home that
took the time to train her. Her foster mom is working with her and she has
made a lot of progress already. Jasmine now knows some sign language and her
house breaking is improving. She would rather not be crated, but is showing
improvement with that also. Jasmine is gaining weight and is a great eater!
Jasmine is VERY sweet. She is a lovable girl who is a big cuddler. She
just wants someone to pay attention to her and love on her. Jasmine really
wants to please and she loves to give kisses. You couldn’t ask for a more
lovable, petite girl!!!
Jasmine gets along with other dogs, but is very guarded upon first
meeting them. Once she realizes they wont hurt her, she is okay. However,
she does still get protective when food is around or when she is in your lap
and another dog comes up to you. That being said, she is in a foster home
with six other boxers and she can mingle with them all.
Jasmine's foster mom can't express how sweet and loving this girl is! She
is good with kids and has also been around a Boston Terrier girl that she
was okay with once she got used to her. Her favorite place to lay is across
your lap. She is very smart and needs a home that is patient and consistent
with training her. She just needs to continue to learn how to communicate
with signs. Jasmine likes to be in the same room where her family is and
feels much more confident when she can see them. Her foster mom feels it is
very possible she has lived in her quiet world of being deaf for all of her
life not knowing how to communicate with anyone as badly as she wants to
please people and be accepted by them.
Jasmine needs a home that is patient and experienced with boxers or deaf
dogs to continue to take the time to guide her. She deserves the chance that
was never given to her as a puppy growing up. Jasmine has huge potential and
is the best companion and snuggle buddy you could ask for!
Jasmine's current foster mom is moving at the end of May, so Jasmine will
need to find another foster home or better yet, a forever home, before that
time. We really do not want to see her go into a kennel, as she will lose
all of the great progress she has made in foster. If you can help Jasmine,
apply today to foster or adopt this sweet girl!

Jasmine is a boxer girl who is estimated to be around 18 - 24 months old.
She arrived at the shelter in December and was very thin, weighing only 38
pounds. Jasmine has one blue eye and one brown eye. She is very energetic
and loves attention. Jasmine gets along great with other dogs and just loves
to play. She appears to be deaf and will need someone who is willing to work
with her. Jasmine tested heartworm positive, but has been treated and is
well on her way to recovery! She will be arriving at her new foster home
tomorrow, and we will update her page once we learn more about her. Jasmine
is looking for a home with a secure, fenced yard and another dog to be her
ears. Apply today for this adorable girl! |
