Jade is a beautiful girl believed to be around 9 years young and is a Shepherd Rottweiler mix. Jade was originally a stray in the Louisville area in 2015 which is how she found her way to rescue where she has been waiting for a home to call her own every since. Jade has a zealous love for people and is always happy to meet new people. She doesnt believe in acting your age and can still be very over the top when meeting new people wanting to jump, crawl into your lap, etc. She believes she is the perfect size for a lap dog and is an overall love-bug wanting to always be right with you. Jade has spent a fair bit of time around children and as long as they are okay with an abundance of kisses and the attention she supplies there are no worries. Jade has been known to get a bit over-attached and can be inappropriately protective if she doesnt have clear boundaries around her behavior. Dont let her age fool you Jade is a smart, clever, and stubborn girl. Jade has lived with other dogs her whole time with us and by extension has had to meet a lot of new dogs. She has a very dominant personality when meeting new dogs and can be a jealous attention hog when new dogs are brought into the mix. She understands that this isnt acceptable behavior and when verbally reprimand will stop but if the boundary isnt maintained she is happy to push it. Jade generally has no issue with other medium to large dogs and when she is with a group of dogs she knows she is general unconcerned with what they are doing. Simply put Jade is a pushy queen bee who doesnt like that challenged. Jade would not do well in a home with small dogs or cats. Although Jade is a "senior" she is still very energetic and enjoys romping in the woods at her foster home. She is an athletic girl and would do really well in a home with a moderate jogger or a hiker. Jade has a lot of love to give to anyone who is willing to understand her quirks. She is great in the house, loves to ride in the car, and has been waiting a long time for a home to call her own.
