About: Jasmine, an 8-year-old cream-colored Chow Chow mix, found herself in an unexpected situation on September 19th, 2024. She boldly jumped into a kind Samaritan`s car, refusing to leave. Despite attempts to coax her out, Jasmine reacted defensively, snapping and showing her teeth. The good Samaritan contacted Animal Protection Officers, who carefully removed her from the vehicle and brought her to PACC.
Once at the shelter, Jasmine`s fear and anxiety were evident. She resisted walking on leash, flailed, and thrashed, and reacted strongly to any touch. It was discovered that she had a microchip, our pet support team attempted to contact the owner. Unfortunately, they have not come to reclaim Jasmine.
Jasmine will require a patient and understanding long term foster 30+ days or adopter who can provide a calm and supportive home. She needs someone willing to take things slow, respecting her pace and allowing her to build trust over time.
While Jasmine`s nervousness hinders progress in the stressful shelter environment, she has shown positive interactions with other dogs, even sharing a kennel peacefully. She also walks nicely on a leash now, moving at the slow pace you might expect from senior citizens. She is still wary of handling, but approaches volunteers curiously to sniff and stays nearby. Here is what one volunteer said:
“We brought Jasmine and her kennelmate out to a play yard today. Jasmine was shy, but easy to leash and she walked slowly out of the kennel and to the yard. She accepted gentle pets on her head and back. This sweet senior is obviously flummoxed as to why she is in the scary shelter. She is tender and needs outta here!!”
Jasmine has been sharing her kennel politely and has been independent and easygoing when meeting other dogs in playgroup.
If Jasmine finds a loving home, our PACC clinic team will proceed with surgery to remove the mass on her face. Depending on availability, the surgery will be performed before she leaves the shelter or scheduled as a follow-up appointment.
If you`re interested in offering Jasmine a loving home, please visit PACC as soon as possible. Your patience and understanding could be the key to helping her overcome her fears and find the happiness she deserves.
