JILL-O-LANTERN hails from the Northern community of Kasabonica and came south to find her forever home. She’s received two sets of vaccines, a microchip, dewormer and has been deemed a healthy girl by her vet. We really don’t know the size she’ll grow to be as we have no information on either parent but right now she’s pretty small for her age but that doesn’t necessarily mean she’ll be on the smaller size as an adult. The same can be said about the breeds we’ve stated as we just go by what she looks like to us. She’s just the sweetest little girl and has one blue eye and one brown one. She’s snuggly and will lay in your arms like a baby.
JILL-O-LANTERN is a quiet little girl both in personality and nature. She’s the gentlest little soul you could ever imagine and she’s super smart too. She’s definitely the one to take a step back from something new rather than a step forward to investigate. She enjoys playing with her stuffies, chew on Nyla bones for her teething, throw her rope toys around, basically play with anything that squeaks. She loves being told she’s a good girl and definitely loves attention.
JILL-O-LANTERN does really well in her crate and goes in it at night and sleeps without a peep. She will also take a nap in it during the day. She’s doing great with her housetraining and hasn’t had an accident in her foster home for a few weeks now but if she goes in her pen then she’ll use a pee pad. She’s only just started to go for short walks and like all puppies she’ll excitedly race ahead of you. She’s not food motivated at all and she does like to graze on her kibble. She can be quirky with her food too as if some kibble spills on the floor then she won’t eat it. She has good manners and will “sit” for her food and treats plus she’ll also take them “gentle.”
JILL-O-LANTERN’s ideal family should be a quiet one but also an active one. She loves going in a vehicle and will sit quietly in her crate as she’s driven around. She has an adventurous side so she would love her family to take her on hikes and walks on the trails. She 3 dogs in her foster home so if there’s one in her new home they should be gentle and calm just like she is. She has met other dogs in the neighbourhood while on her walks and so far she’s happily greeted them all. It’s recommend that if there’s a dog in her new home then a slow, monitored introduction should be made between them while the resident dog’s kept leashed for the first few initial introductions. She’s fostered with 2 cats and several kittens so she should do well with one in her new home. She should be kept leashed while introductions are made for the first couple of times. She can be an only pet in the home provided she’s not left alone for long periods of time every day. Children should be aged 6yrs and up plus be loving, gentle and kind towards animals. She does require a fenced-in yard so she can be kept safe while she has a run around and play.
JILL-O-LANTERN, like all puppies is cute, playful and fun but will also require a lot of time, patience and dedication to training. We do need her adopter to be in agreement to take her for puppy/obedience training to help her to become the best girl possible. Her spay is included in her adoption fee and her potential adopter must be in agreement to have her spayed by the time she’s 6 months of age. The surgery will be at the Barrie SPCA but you can use your own vet and we’ll reimburse you what we would’ve paid for it there. In order for the rescue to do so we need the spay requirements to still be followed plus a copy of the procedure invoice and a picture of her (preferably in her onsie or cone) in order to do the reimbursement. We do post the picture on our fb page along with other pets that were “fixed” in the same week.
If JILL-O-LANTERN sounds like she’ll suit your family and lifestyle then please submit an adoption application to meet her.
