My personality

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Jazz came into rescue when the family who originally found her on Craigslist as a companion for their docile aussie discovered that she wasn't the best fit for their family or their dog. Jazz was too high energy for their girl and it was causing her a great deal of stress so they decided she needed a home with a more active lifestyle and/or companion(s). Jazz has done well here with the other dogs. After some initial trepidation (which is completely normal for dogs who come here), she settled right in. She loves to play with the other dogs and they enjoy her as well. They are all similar energy levels so it works. Jazz is quite well behaved in the house and can transition to a calm dog in the home. She is not quite housebroken overnight though so her new family will have to continue to work with her. During the day, she has done great. I imagine as long as she is able to alert you that she has to go out, training should be a breeze. Jazz has done fantastic with our grandkids ages 6-14. She may not be a good fit for very young children though since her breed has that herding desire and may nip at heels or try to round them up. It is important that Jazz's adopter understands the breed and would not misinterpret her actions as aggression. We haven't actually seen her trying to do this to the kids but it's always a possibility simply because she is an aussie. Although aussies love to work, Jazz does not necessarily need a job as long as she has outlets to expend some of her energy. She is not a hyper dog nor is she super high energy but she does enjoy running and rough housing. She is still quite young since she was born in April of 2024 so expect puppy type behaviors and requirements. Jazz does not try to escape our yard and is semi leash trained. She will walk on one but isn't a huge fan. She may do better on a harness. Jazz rides ok but may get alittle car sick and drool if she has to go long distances. She could probably be conditioned to ride by gradually building her tolerance for distance up.
Jazz is really a great dog and will make a wonderful companion for pretty much any family.
Jazz saw the vet on 11/20/24 and was found to have no issues noted. She is negative on her heartworm test and her fecal check and has been started on heartworm prevention and flea control. Jazz weighed 39.3 pounds as of 11/20/24. She's a healthy girl ready to start her new life!
If interested in giving Jazz her forever home, please submit your interest and your adoption application via email or text ONLY to 352-215-3260 (phone calls will not be answered or returned from this number). Jazz's adoption fee will be $400 to help cover the cost of her vetting and daily care while with us. We will only consider applicants who complete the adoption application and will determine whether the applicant would be a good fit for Jazz based on the info provided in the application. If we feel that you will be a good match for her, we will set up a meet and greet appointment with you.

More about this rescue

We are a small rescue started in September 2004. To date, we have adopted out over 1,000 dogs and cats who may not have had a second chance. We rescue the majority of our pets from kill shelters and have them thoroughly vetted prior to going to their new homes. All of our pets are spayed/neutered, vaccinated, heartworm checked(dogs) and dewormed. We also microchip our dogs so that they can always find their way home. Big and small, we work to rehome them all. We are always in need of donations so if you can help us to help our pets, please contact us! The more people who get involved, the more pets that we can save! You can also see our pets and/or fill out our adoption application on www.petfinder.com. We look forward to hearing from you and making that "forever match"!
