JaJa
(pronounced Zsa Zsa, like the Gabor sister) was turned over ot us by
her owner in Oklahoma. The local Dane rescue worked with us in getting
JaJa and fostering her until transport could be arranged. She is currently in temporary foster care in OK, awaiting a
transport here to us. The foster family have sent us some photos and a
bit of info on JaJa and how she has been doing with them, which we are
including below.
JaJa
is a very sweet lovable girl. She gets along very well with kids
and other dogs. She loves to chase the goldfish in the aquarium
and lick the glass. She is doing very well in her crate with
little to no resistance. She traveled very well. I was able
to bathe her, although she was not real fond of it. She is okay
on the leash. Does not pull really pull much, but we will
continue to work on that. I don't think she knows what a collar
or leash was before us, so I think she is doing very well. She
appears to be a “Velcro” dog because she will not let us out of her
sight. She follows us everywhere even while in the
backyard. She has made herself at home and really LOVES to lay on
the couch or chair. She seems to enjoy being brushed with a curry
brush. She responds to some sounds and sees some. She was
able to chase after a ball until she lost sight of it and could not
find it. She really enjoys knuckle bones and other similar
bones. She
appears too skinny as you can see her back bone all the way down and
when feeding her she acts like she has not eaten in a week. She appears
to be very smart, eager to please and eager to learn. She can
open the screen door with her nose. So we will have to make sure
it stays locked. We have all fallen in love with her and know she will
make someone a great friend. She deserves a very loving forever
home with a soft couch she can cuddle up on.
She gets along good with my dogs. Kaiser is an absolute puppy pest to
her. And she has started growling at him to back away. So I have
kenneled him when I see the need just to give her a break. She LOVES
to run full speed out in the backyard.
I am not sure if she hears some or just the vibrations. But she turns
and looks for noises on the computer and other dogs barking outside.
She comes when you call her name and we are working on the "down"
command and "stay" command. She wants to be with you so much that she
does not like to "stay" when you walk out the fence. But most of all, she loves the
furniture. She has almost knocked the recliner over several times. If
it were not for the wall behind it, I am sure it would have gone over.
She also loves the couch. A true Couch Potato.
While sitting at the 1st vet's office
waiting forever, there were 2 cats brought in. She was a little
curious about them so I allowed her to sniff them. She sniffed and was
not sure but showed absolutely no aggression. I took her on base today
and a bus load of service men were getting out and all passed by making
wonderfully sweet comments about her, and zip, no aggression, just
wanting them to pet her. She has been around other dogs and nothing.
Took her back to the kennels in the back at my vets and the dogs were
barking like crazy, one dog snarled at her and she just looked at him
and sniffed at the kennel he was in. She is an Angel! She is getting
better on the leash and not pulling much. Oh, i took her by a friend's
house that has an autistic son that is 5 and she did great with him
also.
