Jazzy’s last vet visit was in 2014 and she currently has no known health problems/injuries. Socialization: Around strangers Jazzy is fearful/aggressive towards them. She’ll growl, bark and sometimes lunge but with others she’s fine/calm. She’s lived with 2 children a now 22yr old & a 7yr old.

Behavior: Jazzy will sleep through storms/fireworks. Jazzy will growl if someone other than the owner touches/moves her food/food bowl, toys & treats. She hasn’t been allowed on the furniture for the past 2yrs. Jazzy doesn’t mind being held/restrained. She hasn’t been disturbed while sleeping/resting. Jazzy hasn’t been groomed at home; she’s been taken to Petco (where the owner’s haven’t gotten any negative feedback about her visits). Jazzy prefers soft brushes. When someone approaches the home/family member she’ll bark & or growl. For A New Family to Know: Jazzy is described as friendly, affectionate, playful, confident & excitable with a medium activity level. The owner likes how loving & protective Jazzy is. Jazzy loves to run & play with her two Pittie friends in the park. When the owner is home Jazzy follows them around sometimes. She likes ball & thick bone toys. Jazzy likes fetch, chase, wrestling & tug. She’s mostly an indoor only dog who’s walked 2-x a day where she pulls hard on the leash sometimes. Jazzy eats dry Pedigree dog food 2x a day & enjoys Beggin Strips. She’s house trained and is well behaved when left home alone. Jazzy’s known commands are “sit” & “stop”. She’s walked off leash in the park where she’ll wander some but will come when called. Intake Behavior: When spoken gently to from afar Jazzy had a low body posture with a wagging tail. When approached to be scanned Jazzy lunged, barked & growled. To minimize her stress the owner assisted with scanning (-), collaring, taking her pictures & placing her into a kennel. Initially Jazzy was hesitant to go into the kennel but went in smoothly, then an admissions counselor was able to place a water bowl/food & have their hand sniffed. When taken out during her stay she had a loose wiggly body.
