Jada is a beautiful, 6 year old, 17 pound, black and tan Shiba. She was given to us when her owner was deployed overseas by the military and there was nowhere else for Jada to go.

Jada isn’t really friendly with other dogs and should probably be an only dog. She likes some people, but not all. She’s not really into toys. She can be a bit food aggressive and we are working with her on this.

Jada is housebroken, healthy, spayed and up to date on her preventative care. Her medical records show she had a small seizure earlier this year, but the vet didn’t find anything wrong with her and the episode never recurred. Our vet gave her a clean bill of health this week.

Jada’s foster mom Lori says:

Jada is a total sweetheart, extremely calm & gentle. She is also very shy of new people and takes a few hours till she will acknowledge them. She loves a good belly rub and is close to giving kisses, but not there yet. She is very quiet, except when she hears other dogs in the hallway or sees people outside. She is crate trained and loves to sleep in her crate.

She is very good on leash walks, and gets excited when she sees the leash knowing she is going for a walk. She loves to be outside on the leash. We take her for a nice run every morning & night. Jada has been left alone for up to 10 hours without incident. We don’t have another pet, but I wouldn’t recommend her to live with one. She is not friendly with dogs, but OK from a distance. Jada is friendly with Mark and myself, and to some strangers on the street, but not most. We haven’t found a toy or doll that she is interested in. We tried balls, dolls… etc, she isn’t interested.
