About this Dog
My name is Jazz and I am a short stack gal with so much love to give. and my foster mom says I am super smart and fun to work with and teach. I came into a local impound shortly after having puppies and was initially very scared and shut down. Slowly I started to trust new people and was very happy to show off my favorite trick, "shake," for treats. I warmed up quickly to new people, and would get so excited and wiggly to see them. I have been a little cautious meeting new people in my foster home, but warm up after a few treats. In my foster home I have done well with the residents dogs and will play a nice game of chase and then do my own thing when play time is over. That being said I would be perfectly content as an only dog, and because I can be barrier reactive, slow introductions with resident pets is highly advised. I go nicely in my crate at night and when my foster mom is at work, and am generally quiet, unless I hear a lot of commotion in the home. While I have had very few accidents in the house, I do sometimes urinate in my kennel, so we are working through that. I love toy and playing and enjoy a game of fetch, and am working on dropping the ball so the game can continue. I am working on leash walking, and can be good on the leash, but I do tend to get distracted by people and dogs, and want to bark. Sometimes the sounds and sights on walks are a bit too much, so I turn around and race home for my foster home. I would prefer a fenced in yard or a quieter walking place without a ton of distractions. I am a sensitive gal! In terms of training, I do know sit, shake, spin, lay, roll over, touch, stand (on my hind legs) and crawl, and love showing off my skills. I am an incredibly fast learner with new tricks and I find training time to be so much fun. I heard that the AKC even has trick dog competitions and I think that could be super fun! I have also done super well with being bathed and getting my nails trimmed. My foster mom has noticed that I sometimes get pretty into watching "shadow TV," ie shadows on walls, so we are working on other options for me to expend my energy. My new family should know that I should not be exposed to a laser pointer or encouraged to chase lights, because they get pretty exciting and overwhelming for me. I am over all a moderate-low energy gal. I am happy to follow my person around and then I will have short bursts of higher energy where I get the zoomies. I am a really fun girl and will give you plenty of amusement and love. Jazz is from a local impound.

Adopt Jazz and Receive Jazz's Fund
Adopting a pet can be expensive, and we're trying to help by fundraising for each individual in need of adoption. After verifying the adoption, Jazz's new family will receive the funds that their pet has raised.
$0.0 is Jazz's current balance
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. If you adopted the Jazz, thank you for providing a home and a loving family!
Please begin the process of claiming Jazz's contribution here.
For adoptions in which nokillnetwork.org was the matchmaker and we have contact information for both parties, we make every effort to contact the adopting family. For adoptions that were not facilitated by nokillnetwork.org, we still encourage the adopting family to claim the contribution by submitting the necessary information.
The adopting family is the only party eligible to receive the contribution. The adopting family will be required to provide proof of adoption between 4-6 weeks after adoption. This is to ensure that the home is a good match and Jazz was not returned. After we have verified the adoption, Jazz’s balance will be sent to the adopting family. Our staff provides instructions and help throughout this process.
We want the Jazz’s balance to go to the adopting family as a way to say thank you for providing a loving home and to help with pet care expenses. In the unfortunate event we cannot contact them and verify the adoption, Jazz’s balance will remain in our general fund. This fund may be used to match contributions made to other adoptable pets, incentify other adoption-related actions, promote our mission, or support the operating expenses of nokillnetwork.org. If you would like to make a direct contribution to nokillnetwork.org to help us help other pets in need, you can go here. We appreciate your generosity and help!
