Jovi

Meet Jovi Jovi is a silly, snuggly girl who is absolutely convinced she is a lap dog! She loves being close to her people and is happiest when she can curl up beside you or climb into your lap for some quality cuddle time. Jovi is looking for a home with children 14 years and older and will need to be only pet in the home. Jovi has shown significant reactivity toward certain small dogs and small animals. Jovi came into care very underweight and she is slowly and steadily gaining weight in our care, and continuing this progress will be an important part of her care after adoption. Her weight should be increased gradually to avoid upsetting her stomach, and her adopter should work with their veterinarian to ensure she reaches and maintains a healthy weight. Having experienced food insecurity, Jovi is understandably very food motivated! She can take treats quite enthusiastically, so adopters will need to be mindful when offering them. We have found that using a flat hand technique works well for her. Jovi does gulp down her food so will need a slow feeder to help slow her down. Jovi is likely to counter surf or garbage dive given the opportunity so her adopters should be mindful of what she could possibly get into. Jovi will need regular brushing and grooming - we recommend a fear free groomer as grooming is a new experience for her even in her adult age. Jovi has been through a lot, but her goofy and affectionate personality continues to shine. She is ready for a home where she can feel safe, where she can continue her journey!
