Here's what the humans have to say about me:
Jacy is a sweet 7 year old pit mix, possibly mixed with a type of sighthound like an Italian Greyhound. She is small and leggy, as she is only about 30 pounds. Jacy was adopted from us as a puppy, but after being found multiple times as a stray, the family decided they could no longer care for her and surrendered her. Jacy is not a dog that can be left unsupervised outside, as she gets nervous when she can't see her people and will climb fences.
During the summer, Jacy had two instances where she lost control of her back end and was taken to our vet who examined her and did bloodwork. Her exam and bloodwork came back fine, so they believe it may have been focal seizures. They advised that if the seizures occur more often, she may need medication. She thankfully has been doing well and hasn't had another one since.
Jacy loves her people and just wants to be with them. She loves to greet people and is always up for a walk with our volunteers and staff! Jacy is content when curled up in a dog bed with a toy or two while staff work in the kennels. Jacy doesn't seem to mind most of the small/medium sized dogs she's met here. Jacy is understandably, not a fan of shelter life due to her separation anxiety. We know she would much rather be able to spend her time close to the people she loves. We'd love to get Jacy back into a home where she can be more relaxed and be spoiled!
