In the shelter’s words

Meet Jam — a 3-year-old, 40-pound Pittie mix with a compact “pocket pittie” build, a big personality, and an even bigger love for people! Jam is one of those girls who truly enjoys being part of the action. She’s social, affectionate, and happiest when she’s spending time with her people. During her time in Kentucky, she lived around children and did very well with them. She can be a little enthusiastic with her greetings, so we think kids 8+ would be the best fit for this happy, exuberant girl. Jam has also shown that she can do well in a home with other pets. She previously lived successfully with cats and has gotten along with dogs ranging from just 10 pounds all the way up to 110 pounds! She could absolutely be a wonderful addition to a multi-dog household with appropriate introductions. One thing Jam takes very seriously is backyard security. Squirrels, raccoons, and other little critters definitely get her attention, so she should not live with small animals such as rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, or similar pets. What Jam really wants is a family of her own — people who will include her, love her, continue working on her manners, and appreciate her fun, affectionate personality. She has so much love to give and is ready to show someone just how special she is. Jam is even better in person, and we would LOVE for more families to come meet her. Sometimes all it takes is one meeting to realize you’ve found your dog. Come meet Jam and see for yourself. Complete an application today — this sweet pocket pittie is ready to find her people!
