It's no secret that the New York suburbs were a new scene for Jewel.. the cars, people passing, walking on a leash were all brand new to her! Jewel spent a wonderful three months in a foster home where she learned to navigate suburban life with her pal Luna and lovely foster mom Alicia. Jewel learned how super awesome a couch is (her fav cuddle spot), how walks to new places can be fun and not just scary.. and she woke up every morning with her head on Alicia's pillow!
Jewel has done extremely well, we are so proud of this little petite, nervous gal! Now it is now time that she joins us back at the farm for some more socializing and visits! Since being back at the farm, Jewel has completely let her guard down. She spends most of her time with her BEST pas Greta and Gracie. They hang in the living room together, go for walks together.. Greta is a shy girl too and Jewel has taken on a confident and almost motherly roll for sweet Greta! These girls play constantly!! Its truly amazing to see how much they help one another. |

We have found with dogs like Jewel its important for them to be in charge of how much or little contact they have with people. Initially Jewel crouched and tried to make herself small when getting leashed up.. now she understands the routine she accepts the approach and trusts that it won't lead to more contact unless she asks for it! She does great on walks.. almost never pulls and wants to be in step with her person. Jewel is super playful.. loves grabbing toys and racing them back to her bed to sit with! So precious!
