My name is Jolene!

Jolene is a very special dog that overcame being listed for euthanasia at a crowded shelter in the south. She traveled north to NY with her brother to start her new life!
Jolene takes some time to warm up to new people. She is timid at first but once she realizes she is safe and cared for she will lovingly accept and give affection. She will give you a little nuzzle at first and then full on face kisses once she is less nervous. She is very curious and willing to grow and learn.  She is peepad trained and sleeps well through the night in her crate or dog bed. She is a quiet girl, only sometimes giving a little cry when she needs something. Jolene is looking for a forever home that will be patient with her and let her come out of her shell at her own pace. She is being fostered with other dogs currently. She seems to be a bit intimidated by dogs her size or larger, but has gotten along well with smaller dogs. Jolene is fine staying home alone by herself without any separation anxiety. She will usually spend the day snoozing or enjoying a good bone to chew on. We are still working on building up her confidence more and interacting with the other dogs as well as leash training/walking, but in time I know she will face her fears and blossom into an even more amazing dog than she already is!
