Bunny
Bunny (DOB 6/12/18) is a sweet girl
filled with boundless energy. Bunny
has a very happy, loving
personality. She approaches people
somewhat submissively, but after a
few seconds, is all about petting
and play. She loves to get the
zoomies with her people and
playmates. She is learning about
bones and toys. Bunny doesn't fully
understand manners when meeting
other dogs, since the instant she
sees them, she is all over them
wanting to play. She has done well
with males and females, but cats are
not a good match, as she gets
over-excited, wants to play rough,
and really doesn't understand "kitty
no." She probably should go to a
home with school-age children (6+)
for these same reasons. She has not
had any training, and is very busy
but tractable on lead. She does lack
socialization, and may be afraid of
new things, but has been very
adaptable in the local coordinator's
home. Given her energy, a fenced
yard to play and burn off energy is
a MUST. She is VERY loving and
responsive, and should train
quickly. She is largely housebroken
if given frequent trips out, but is
still working on not soiling her
cage. She has not mastered flights
of stairs. She has been spayed, has
had a dental, is fully up to date on
vaccinations, and has been given a
1-year heartworm preventive
injection. All she needs is a
loving owner to spend the rest of
her life with. If you
think that is you,

Bear
FOSTER SITUATION
NEEDED WHILE HIS LEG HEALS
Bear is an adult, neutered male, born
3/16/2014, who was part of a recent breeder
surrender. He is a friendly older gent
who has met several dogs and cats at his
boarding facility, and seems to get along
with them all, as well as with children.
He spent his life in a cage, so is very
needy for attention, and tends to jump up
and hug his people, and get underfoot trying
to make sure they don't leave him. A
fenced yard is a must for him, as he needs
some space to roam. He has been a house dog with our
local coordinator and he is well
behaved, he
adores hugging, cuddling, petting, brushing
and combing. He is VERY interested in
food, and may attempt to jump up on
furniture, etc., to get it. He is not
fond of flights of stairs, but will do them
with encouragement.
During the
winter ice storms, Bear slipped on a conrete
slab and fractured his right front leg.
He has had a plate put in to connect some of
the broken bone pieces and is still healing.
JNMRF is looking for a foster (forever
foster if needed) who will work with us to
get him fully healed.
Bear is fully vetted, has all vaccinations,
has been given a Pro-Heart one-year
heartworm preventative, has been started on
flea/tick preventive, has had a dental, and
is microchipped. He also had a few
small sebaceous cysts removed. He
would dearly love a family of his own for
his remaining years, since he has missed so
much in his life up to this point. Do
you think you might be able to give him love
in his golden years? If you think he
might be your next best friend, please

to fill out an application to adopt him.
He's looking forward to meeting you!
Chica
Chica (DOB 3/24/15) is one of
the recent puppy mill surrender
dogs. She
suffered from masticatory muscle
myositis (MMM),
an auto
immune disease, which
seriously damaged the muscles in
her head and jaws.
The
disease is not active and she
should have a normal lifespan,
but will need to be monitored
for reoccurrence.
It
is easier for her to eat
softened food.
As
a result of the disease, which
was intensely painful, and her
deprived life in a small cage,
she is very shy and can be
fearful.
She always leaves
herself an escape route, even
when approaching for petting,
and may startle and run if
unexpectedly touched or if she
feels trapped.
This
has been improving after a short
time in a foster home.
After
she develops comfort and trust
in her new home, she readily
approaches for petting (which
she adores) and treats.
She
loves small antlers and
stuffies, and is very
enthusiastic about meals, which
she demands with her cute,
yipping bark. She
is housebroken.
She
signals by pacing near the door,
and benefits from several trips
out. She
readily cages, expecting a
treat. While
it may be difficult to get the
lead on her, she is compliant
when on it, and rides well.
Picking
her up causes near panic, but
she is improving.
She
has not learned long flights of
stairs yet. She
has been very good with all dogs
and cats she has met, and would
really benefit from presence of
other dogs, with proper
introductions.
She
likes the company, it lends her
confidence, and she cues
behavior from her companions.
She
occasionally will also play,
although she is just learning
how, and frightens if it gets
rough. She
would not do well in a home with
small, noisy or very active
children. She
needs a fenced yard.
She
has a truly sweet, happy
personality and desperately
wants a home to grow to her full
potential, and is just as cute
as she can be!
Chica is fully up to date
on vaccinations, microchipped,
received a one-year ProHeart
heart worm preventive, has had a
dental, and will come with her
cage and bed. She is a truly
deserving sweetheart!
All
she lacks is a home to call
her
own with a fenced
yard to explore. If you
think it could be with you, please

Dali
Dali (DOB
10/1/2013) is a sweet senior
girl who had been bounced around
four homes by eight months old
with her brother. Due to her
lack of socialization, major
issues of behavior, and high
anxiety levels, she was placed
into the JNMRF Forever Foster
program in July, 2014, where she
had remained until a
catastrophic change in situation
there caused her to be placed in
boarding in early March. She is
not doing well in boarding, and
urgently needs a foster or
adoptive home.
Over the
course of time, Dali became a
loving house dog. She adores
petting and will cuddle
endlessly, pawing for more
petting. She is house- and
crate-trained, loves riding,
fully housebroken, and can be
left loose in the house for
several hours if given a potty
break beforehand, or can be
crated. She does very well at
the vet and for grooming, and
adores having her coat blown out
with a high-speed blower,
leaping onto a grooming table.
She occasionally likes to share
her people’s bed, but is very
considerate, and will get down
if asked. She is decent on lead,
knows basic commands (sit, down,
shake, etc.), and when begging
for treats, is quite polite. She
gives joyous greetings to her
people, spinning, play bowing,
and sometimes standing up and
leaning on the person for pets
and loving, and will dole out
occasional kisses. She needs a
fenced yard where other dogs
will not antagonize her or
create anxiety. She is good with
school-age children who know how
to behave with dogs, seemed
indifferent to cats when tested,
but has several fear-related
issues. She always has an
anxious expression.
She is
deathly afraid of storms, may
startle with sudden loud sounds,
and is anxious or fearful of
wind beyond a very light breeze.
Fireworks utterly terrify her.
Her greatest shortcoming is she
is very female dog-aggressive,
and can be fear-aggressive with
overly active male dogs or dogs
with whom she has not been
properly introduced. In her
foster home, she benefitted from
the company of several calm
males, after proper, careful,
slow introductions. She should
be in a home with only a calm
male or two, or an only dog.
Dali is up to date on all
vaccinations, HW preventive,
flea and tick protection, is
spayed and microchipped. She has
no known health conditions, and
will take her cage and bed with
her to her new home.

might be your next best friend, please

She's looking forward to meeting you!
Nora
Nora
(DOB 9/13/16) is a
petite girl, 16” tall and weighs
about 35 lbs.
Despite her small statue,
she has a
huge love of life and a
real sweet temperament.
She is crate trained,
housebroken, and is learning
basic commands.
She knows sit, down,
touch, having been clicker
trained for these commands.
She has
accepted life inside with crowds
of people of various ages, and
her 2 elkhound hosts have given
her confidence in dog language.
The cat at her foster
home loves to play with the
elkies but Nora has a fear of
this strange being.
Walking next to the cat
has gotten Nora bopped on her
hindquarters so Nora gives the
cat wide berth.
She
has overcome many fears due to
her limited life experience as a
puppymill breeder dog.
She shows true elkie
intelligence, and she enjoys a
chin scratch and conversation.
She is a fairly quiet
girl, only occasionally barking
to go outside.
Nora enjoys inside life
and is unhappy if left alone
outside for extended times.
She is
spayed, up to date on shots,
heartworm treatment (the annual
preventative shot), flea and
tick meds.
Her coat is so soft, you
want to run your hands over it,
a true comfort to her and you.

Nora
might be your next best friend, please

She's looking forward to meeting you!

Nadia
-
ADOPTED
Nadia (DOB 10/28/17) came in to
JNMRF on 7/30/2018 at 9 months
old, and was placed in the
Furever Foster program.
She had initially been purchased
from an Iowa puppy mill, then
returned, probably for the
reasons below. She was
then sold to a person with the
intent of breeding. At
some point prior to that, Nadia
was severely physically abused,
and had several poorly healed
fractures. One result is her
(always wagging) tail sticks up
like a crooked little question
mark. This second owner
became terminally ill, and
largely left Nadia and a male
companion out in a picket-fenced
yard, neglected and subject to
many stray dogs coming to try to
attack her.
As a result
of her submissive personality
and life experience, she has
several issues, none of which
should diminish how wonderful
she is. Firstly,
submission and excitement
urination. If caught just
outside the door and interacted
with, she will usually get it
done outside, although she may
have an excitement sprinkle when
she dashes or runs into another
dog. She is mildly
resource-protective for toys
with other dogs, but not people.
She becomes extremely excited
for food and whirls like a
barking dervish in her cage, but
should be cage-fed. She
will forage, and becomes excited
over people food. While
she can get obnoxious about it,
if told to sit, she will wait
for what comes her way.
When she becomes extremely
excited, she may drop a gift or
two. This is primarily
over mealtime. When caged
for a long period of time, she
sometimes can not hold it and
leaves a trail. She may be
somewhat frightened by new or
loud situations, or very sudden
movements. She is a
digger, and sometimes eats dirt.
Those issues should not
define her. She is a very
happy personality, and her tail
never stops wagging. She
absolutely craves attention,
adores petting, and will leap
right up to cuddle endlessly.
She does paw a good deal for
more petting, and gives kisses
readily. She loves toys
and antlers, and will
self-entertain after her
excitement abates. If not
caged overnight, she will need a
fast trip out in the morning.
If given the opportunity, she
will sleep most of the night
with her people, but may ask to
be let out at a point.
When she is ready to rest, she
curls up in her dog bed or on a
sofa, bringing a toy with her.
She has gotten along with most
dogs with careful, slow
introductions. Should they
push her, she does not react
well, and if they show any form
of aggression, she will bear a
long grudge and not get along
thereafter. She does like
to play and chase, but isn’t as
fond of wrestling. She loves tug
of war games with people or
dogs. She has been okay
with cats in the past, although
she will need careful
introduction. She is good
with older, calmer children, but
would not do
well in a very noisy, active
environment with younger
children. She is good on
lead and rides well. She
knows sit and shake, but because
of her history she does not like
down. While she has her
issues, she is a fantastically
loving, loyal dog, full of life
and happiness.
Nadia has
no known health issues. She is
fully up to date on
vaccinations, heart worm and
flea and tick preventive, is
microchipped and has had a
dental. She will come with
her cage, crate pad, and bed.
If you can offer her the calm
and loving home she deserves,
she could be your next best friend.

She's looking forward to meeting you!
