Who is ready for a fun loving, ball chasing, happy 8 year old sweet girl? This is Jenni! She has had a rough life up until October when JCAPL took her under their care. She was 15 pounds underweight, lived on her own in the streets and didn’t know humans could be kind and loving. Fast forward to now, and she is the perfect house dog! Weighing in at a solid 70 pounds, she loves to please and doesn’t quite understand that she really isn’t a lap dog! She is crate and house trained and loves to play. She will play ball and she loves toys though she has never met a toy she can’t destroy. Benebones are her go to now as they will last and keep her entertained. She doesn’t understand how big or old she is and still acts like a puppy, full of playful energy! She is learning to walk on a leash so a no pull harness is a must, and she is still learning that counters are for human food not her food! She doesn’t like small dogs or cats so she will probably be best in a one dog family. Jenni has never met a stranger and loves to please with a high five for her favorite treat of wild weenies. She is a strong girl and may be too strong for toddlers until she learns more manners. She loves the song by Tommy Tutone, “Jenny, I got your number” and will spin around for you as she dances! Jenni is so deserving of a family who will love her. Do you have room in your home and heart for her? Are you interested in adopting Jenni or another JCAPL pet you have seen? You'll need to start by completing an adoption application, available online at our website: www.jcapl.org. There is no obligation to adopt by completing an application, however, we do recommend submitting an application as soon as you find an animal you are interested in. We review applications in the order they are received. Completed applications can be sent via email to adopt@jcapl.org , faxed to 919-300-5524 or delivered in person by visiting us at one of our adoption events on Saturdays at PetSmart in Garner (White Oak Shopping Center). We will contact you as soon as possible once we receive your application. Thanks for thinking adoption! View full description »
